Peas In Deutschland

P has moved to Germany! This is a place to share with loved ones the pleasures, frustrations, and photographs of my adventures, leavened by talk of meals eaten and drinks drunk.

job!

oh my god, i got a job offer today! it's from the university of toronto. it's too soon to know if i'll take it, and i have a couple weeks to decide, but right now i'm just so relieved that i get to keep doing math! and let me share this little horror with you: all i can hear in my head is that wilson phillips song "the dream is still alive". but it's not my fault! why, mom, why did you raise us on that crap? and i was going to try to be strong and not even link to it, but here. at least i didn't embed the p.o.s.

That's excellent, well done. Nick L has just accepted a job here, which is also excellent.

B,

Congratulations on the great news but on the song stuck in your head I have to say:

DAMN- what's wrong with you man? You have to flush those synapses! What about all the years of mullet rock and prog music, why isn't that coursing through your brain during such a moment of sweet victory?

Your mulletude is now around -2 or so....

anyway, well done!

B,

The song was unbelievable-it is so 'syrupy' and so saga! It made me cringe! I had never seen that video before, wonder how I missed it?

Hey, I can sit through the pain for the end result.
Congratulations on the job offer. What a relief!
Wait-that better not trigger another song!

Love,
R
