Yeah, I read that the other day. Only problem is that with what I want to do (cell and developmental biology) if you don't have a PhD you're some other PhD's lab bitch.
Which is why I didn't go into hard science. Figuring out how graft robot parts onto people would be awesome except for the umpteen years of bitchwork. So instead I'm applying for a Masters in Hanging Around Scandinavia (actually sounds like a really fucking cool program that I'm super excited about and hope they won't crush my dreams by not waiving the tuition).
Can you transfer as a PhD student? Like kill it in a not as god school and switch to a better one?
verizon is still robbing me ive never raised my voice to customer service till today ive never cared before cause ive never payed a bill this long i cant go into the boring explanation in detail but they essentially told me they found $120 that "you forgot to pay" when i just was told i had $70 crediit 3 weeks ago so 3 weeks ago i was -70 today i am +$138
thats $208 a month for just internet i should have let them keep doublebilling me it was only $95 a month then i think im gonna switch too....... oh wait there is no other option oh well anyone else wanna fist an unwilling receiver? speak up im all loosey goosey right now and verizons hand is covered in gold rings and still clenching my wad of money as they enter me dry your soft puny college boy piano hands will slide right in i think verizon may have left a cigarbutt in there you think you could snuff it out for me? smooches
Dude, is there no way you can dispute that shit? Did you keep a record of when and whom you spoke to when they said you had credit? There's no fucking way I'd be paying that. Telstra tried the same shit on with me. My account still says I owe them money, but I ain't paying it. They haven't hassled me either, so I'm guessing someone dropped the ball. Telcos are all useless and outsource this shit to call centres across Asia, then give them a prerogative of "be as rude as fuck and hunt every last dollar", then they turn around and act like your best friend when you crack the shits and try to assassinate a manager that speaks the same language at you, who blames the corporate wheel for outsourcing it all in the first place, as if they wouldn't have been dodgey if that didn't happen. Just another buffer between you and the truth and your money. /oldmanrant.

Money troubles. :grumble: I had a tire blowout and also had to shell out money to get our garage door fixed. Now I need to sell some pedals just to pay my fucking bills. This fucking sucks.
they're putting me on a project at work where i'm going to have to learn a bunch of SQL stuff hitting the ground running. i am mortified and want to go hide under the covers with my kitty, even though it's probably within the realm of possibility to learn it. i just don't want to be doing this...i want to go back home to California and do print production like i used to do. but i can't. my old job is gone, along with the rest of my old life. i'd give anything to have them back now, even with all the hassles and unpleasantness.

Sorry bud
I'm putting all the money I've made on selling my pedals toward paying off my credit card and it sucks. My workplace put a freeze on annual raises right after I started working there over a year and a half ago and have yet to kick them back in. My girlfriend and I realized we probably can't afford our vacation to Vermont this summer. I'm doing a bunch of annual performance evaluation work and it's hard to get motivated to do it since it's not leading to improved pay right now.
