February 13, 201115 yr Took my beagle Rugby on a 3 hour 8 mile walk which was about the most intense thing I can do with this cold. I then registered for my area's first bike race of the year at which I will get hammered like cheerleader on prom night Edited February 13, 201115 yr by Dreadhead
February 14, 201115 yr Applied for a job as Assistant VP for a global financial services company in the NYC metro...
February 14, 201115 yr Good Luck on the job application Dan! Ordered flowers for a little lady I'm quite fond of and I'm having it delivered at her work. Haven't really sent anyone flowers in a long long time so I'm quite anxious to see how this works for me
February 14, 201115 yr Applied for a job as Assistant VP for a global financial services company in the NYC metro... Right on.
February 14, 201115 yr Turns out it's BofA in Jersey City. They're a little low on salary, but with a decent bonus. I went ahead and had them submit me, but we'll see. A pay cut to move to Jersey City to work for BofA isn't the most thrilling thing ever

February 14, 201115 yr My understanding is a lot of banks make almost everyone AVP. SMBC is a japanese bank, and they're also fairly well known for not having the best pay scale. But, 20-30% bonus and 4 weeks vacation. I'd probably negotiate for more vacation, too.
February 14, 201115 yr Thanks everyone. Interview was very "meh" and much more of a screening than anything else. HR rep had no energy or motivation, which annoyed me. Exam went far better than expected considering I spent all my time this morning preparing for the "interview".
February 16, 201115 yr Yesterday went to doctor because I was concerned I was having another diverticulits flare up or possible appendicitis. All negative thank goodness. But apparently I pinched a nerve and my right abdomen, side, back are all annoyingly painful. Doc prescribed voltaren (super advil). We'll see how that works. Could have been worse.
February 16, 201115 yr Hope you feel better soon, but it seems like a chiropractor might be a better choice for this kind of thing. As a side note, doesn't "Voltaren" sound a bit like that fortune telling machine from the movie "Big"?
February 16, 201115 yr Voltaren is a great anti-inflammatory, and available over the counter in Australia and Canada. I can't believe you poor saps need a prescription for it......
February 16, 201115 yr Went to the Chicago Auto Show. Looking for nothing in particular but we were pretty taken with the Caddy CTS V wagon, Volvo S60 w/ 300 hp and the Mini Clubman. Most likely from a practical standpoint is the Clubman. And we need a practical car next. But not boring.
February 16, 201115 yr If budget allows, the car that replaces my SX4 will probably be a mini countryman.
February 16, 201115 yr Voltaren seems to be working...slowly. Wish there was a little sumpthin' else in it.
