Stanford pays crap, Vortex. UCB paid (much) better for admin/staff/library positions. But it would be a nice place for them to fly you out for an interview.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think I've mentioned that my office windows look out on a lovely shady patio, which means that every smoker in the whole university comes to take their breaks outside my window? And that the uninsulated old leaded glass windows mean that I can hear every last word that's said out there, including ugly screaming breakups, financial details, and all kinds of suchlike? (And that the same windows lead to second-hand smoke nigh unto working in a bar)
And if so, I've also mentioned the one dude who spends 3 hours of every work day (two 45-minute smoke breaks and an hour and half lunch! I want that schedule!) loudly holding court to his female companions?
Well, all is forgiven.
He's been holding forth for the last half hour or so (in all caps. He talks in all caps. All the time) about I WAS TALKING TO BARBARA THIS ONE TIME, SHORTLY BEFORE SHE MURDERED HER HUSBAND.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, we should talk about planning Dylan and Matilda's wedding. We already have plenty of adorable videos to show and embarrass them with!
Do you think he likes older women? I'm not sure if I could handle having a bright, cheerful, sweet natured, handsome son-in-law with cool parents.

I suspected as much. I saw a job at another school directing a program that required a Ph.D and four years of experience for 45K. WTFF?

I think Gable suffers from even his beloved wife saying he was boring in the sack.
