February 13, 201115 yr comment_426959 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 Report

February 14, 201115 yr comment_427092 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 Report

February 14, 201115 yr comment_427101 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 Report
February 14, 201115 yr comment_427110 Ok, turns out it's not BofA, it's SMBC. We'll see how it goes. Report

A pay cut to move to Jersey City to work for BofA isn't the most thrilling thing ever A Assistant VP role at a financial services company is low on salary? Color me surprised. Report
February 14, 201115 yr comment_427112 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. Report
February 14, 201115 yr comment_427152 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". Report
February 16, 201115 yr comment_427456 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. Report
February 16, 201115 yr comment_427520 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"? Report
February 16, 201115 yr comment_427525 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...... Report
February 16, 201115 yr comment_427552 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. Report
February 16, 201115 yr comment_427554 If budget allows, the car that replaces my SX4 will probably be a mini countryman. Report
February 16, 201115 yr comment_427558 Voltaren seems to be working...slowly. Wish there was a little sumpthin' else in it. Report
