Is her dream hospital the one that was on House? That would be my dream hospital if I were a nurse (or in my case, a murse).

So not fair. When I had stomach AIDS I couldn't drink for something like 7 years.

Well the old pills were supposed to heal up anything in the tummy, and the new pills a re supposed to help with the pain. And also cause blurred vision and drowsiness, and all increase in effect with alcohol. >.>

The one that was on house was a building at princeton that was mostly student activities. I know this because my wife would scream "FRRRRIIISSSSTTT" (yes, that Frist family) every time they took a shot of it.

Are you actually posting from the strip club? If so, you're really doing it wrong, imo.

Watching a girl dance to Batdance by Prince is so awesome. My buddy plays all my requests.

Man unless it's like 120k vs 90k it'd be hard to not take the LA job.

Well the L.A. one starts out 15k higher and after a year there's a big bump due to how the pay steps are arranged. Not sure what the pay raise after another year, if there is one, at the Chicago is so it could be less than the 30k.

The Chicago job is a promotion though.

ETA: Another difference is the Chicago local doesn't do a car allowance (500/mo in L.A.) and instead does mileage. Not sure how that will work out but it makes the salaries different by a decent chunk from the get go.

Point out the higher offer in LA and tell them you need at least some more cash. You can bargain for a higher salary from the off if you can define the value you bring with yourself.

How much will you be driving? The mileage rate is like 55 cents a mile, so if you drive 12k miles for work it'd probably be about a wash.

I'll likely be driving a lot. Looking at others expenses in the LM2s you can see people with like 10k+ in reimbursements. They both have staff union contracts so L.A. is giving me credit for 3 years where Chicago is giving me credit for 5 years. CA locals obviously pay a lot more but I'd rather be closer to Iowa than make 6 or 7 thousand more a year (random guess on actual take home money).

I just can't win.

Just got over a 48 hour stint with the flu. I took the wife and kids out to celebrate the wife's birthday (teppanyaki place) and a 400 lb guy at the adjacent table had his ass crack smiling at us for the first half of dinner. The fat guy finally leaves and a group of 11 sits down at the same table, they smelled like they chain smoked all day in their trailer with the windows shut. My daughter looks over and says to me "There's another one".... I look over and one of the trailer park morons has his ass crack showing too.

Great meal lol.
