    Oh.

    I probably should have mentioned this earlier.

    If someone here is looking for a job as a Chemistry teacher in a university setting you should PM me. I might be able to help you, depending on where you are looking to teach.

    I'd love to be a chemistry lab manager. But I only have a Master's, so teaching tends to be out for me. Last lab manager position I saw asked for things like hazwopr and various other things that I'm told are easy to get but I don't have.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    Do you require any sort of qualifications, or is the willingness to mix things and see what goes bang enough?

    Can I behave in an erratic, crazy manner while doing insane shit like throwing pure Calcium metal into water or igniting a thermite reaction with potassium perchlorate and a gummy bear?

    Can I wear my old furnace working gear just for fun?

    Co-worker just legit asked me why we couldn't send something to Germany via UPS Ground.

    "Do you mean UPS Air, like Next-Day Air?"

    "No! That's too expensive. I want to send it ground!"

    I dunno, I maybe would have figured that they could toss it on a boat going in that direction or something for cheaper than a plane?

    I've been a line cook for 8 years.

    Two weeks ago I realized my restaurant of 5 years was shitting itself uncontrollably. So I quit.

    My job is now "Get ready to drive all over the continental US by myself."

    Soon my job will be "Drive way too much and see cool/boring/unique shit all over the continental US."

    The current job sucks, but I hope the new job is worth it.

    Somebody want to pay me to do this? Gas prices are awful and my butt is going to hate me.

    Hello job thread, I'm currently interviewing with a company in the SF bay area and I know a couple forumers in here are around that area, so I had a couple questions

    What are living expenses like in the area? Specifically around Palo Alto. Rents are pretty crazy from what I've seen (compared to what I'm paying now anyway), but what are food/utilities/etc like?
    What is mass transit like around there? The VTA seems pretty decent from their webpage, but I have no idea really
    I'm Canadian; are there any Canadians/Americans here working in the other country? I'd like to get an idea of the amount of government related crap I'd have to go through to work there with the dual residency and tax filings
