Totally Random

Oh dear. Poor Mr Zuckerberg has lost so much of his fortune today that he's got less than 100 billion dollars left...

 Oh god, that's terrible news. He should just give up now 

He'll probably starve. So brave of you to help him, Val

"Valence using Facebook, dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!"

It's the end of times.

This place is so quiet on weekends. Which made me realise that it'll be awfully lonely when I start working again and will mostly be here on weekends...

Well *sniff* I guess I will have evenings off, too...

and yes, I seem to be on the verge of getting a job... again... No idea when I'll start, though. An it's not a permanent position either, but since I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, that's OK.

I will certainly get more per month than I currently do, but I realised after voicing my suggested salary that I based it on what I earned 3 years ago, not what it would have been today.

And then I saw some statistics that showed me that my salary 3 years ago was about 75% of the (current) median salary for my profession... So it wasn't even good then.

On the other hand I will have other duties in this job, so I wouldn't have gotten an equivalent salary anyway. But she did accept my offer suspiciously quickly.

And on yet another hand (not sure how many I have now), since it's not a permanent position that means my salary would have to be renegotiated anyway, should the job be prolonged or made permanent or if I should choose to become an environmental health officer again. (Which is what most people are, in that office.)
