Vortex, if that is a form for my uni, leave it blank. HR will forward your application regardless. Since the salary range is locked in here there is very little room to negotiate . They're stuck with it, too.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

But it's just a shitty thing, especially for women. As discussed here before, our salaries are often 25% lower than a man's doing the same work. And part of that is not negotiating hard enough and also getting caught in the "paid low in entry-level work and raises are based on the low wage" scenario.

This piece in the NY Times speaks exactly to that: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Perhaps this should go in Boxed Set, but I just got off the phone with a friend. Her sons are TOTALLY into Doctor Who, thanks to my big-time pimping and loaning them our DVDs. I called to tell her that Hamlet was on tonight. She then called me back to tell me that she had been speaking to her six-year-old and said "The man from Doctor Who is going to be on TV tonight in a different show." He said "Which one? You mean David Tennant?"

Vortex, if that is a form for my uni, leave it blank.

ah, a definitive answer! It is, in fact, for your uni. It will go out tomorrow. I've been effing with my resume for long enough.

China stripped of Olympic bronze medal in gymnastics from the 2000 Olympics, because one of their gymnasts was underage. [link]

The federation had been investigating Dong for possible age falsification since she filed paperwork to work as an official at the Beijing Games. The age on those documents would have made her 14 at the Sydney Olympics.

I'm really pissy tonight. Been trying to keep it at bay, but...pissy. I'm getting retroactively mad at butterfly boy in the pool, which is sort of ridiculous.
