random thoughts

So, I started looking at jobs today. Found precious little other than the same jobs that have been on the boards for five years. WHAT do these colleges do to their professors that the positions are never filled? I have been however joking with mom that if Flagler College in St. Augustine (the only FL city i actually liked) had a job I'd apply. They do. In precisely my field...for less money than I'm making now in a city that's far more expensive...

There was a perfect-for-me medical type position at Boston University. Let's not even get into the possibilities of living somewhere in Boston comfortably on a professor's salary (which here i don't even know what it would be. Colleges do vary their pay based on years of experience and amount of education the prof holds but still putting a RANGE in the ad would be nice).

Most all the jobs were in California (yeah because that's affordable), Missouri (uh, no, just no) and Georgia (better than MO but still don't see me getting excited)

I wiped out on my new tai-chi dvd but today i put in the Yoga: Just My Size (or something like that) with a plus sized instructor doing the moves. You know, I actually made it through half of it. This is something I think once i get going I could actually DO. The best part: the deep relaxation at the end. Apparently I'm a pirate when it comes to lying on the floor and breathing and oh let's not forget visualizing. Though at the end I could feel my chi tickling and warming the bottom of my feet. I think it was trying to escape.

And as I was perusing unusual city names for one (going back to my home state of PA because it's loaded with them) I ran across Bloody Corners, Ohio. It's apparently between Austintown and Akron...man I just want to move there, don't you?

We have a bioscience program - and here's the link for the opening for an ass't prof, anat/phys: http://www.farmingdale.edu/ifs_quick_links.html

the salary is pretty good ($55k-62k), and the benefits are good, too. Don't know if you want to live on Long Island, though.

Rats! the link just takes you to the website......

At the website, hit "quick links", then look for "employment". Click on "employment", then scroll down to faculty positions. When you get to that page, just look for the faculty position, anatomy and physiology.....

Good luck, if you decide to go for it!

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll e-mail you a copy of the announcement.

thanks. Yeah that would be hard for me but I did look. They have something in my field but I had two limitations. One I could work around and that's I'm NOT a research PhD but rather have a medical doctorate so I'm less likely to get a job that wants me to do research but the second one is...well one of the reasons I'm HERE. That medical school millstone around my neck is only going to get heavier once they start garnishing my wages. I won't survive in high cost of living areas

But I really appreciate you sending it. I'll ruminate on it
