I am such a shark.

I negotiated for three weeks of vacation instead of two. :-)
The HR guy from BAE said my new offer letter will be delivered today via FedEx. Once I acccept, I will have three days to get the drug test.

I blew like $90 on CDs, and another $80 on crafts (if you don't count that I bought an easel for $70 a couple weeks ago). I probably have another $100 of CDs lined up on Amazon. I am going to do my best to hold off on those. It is natural to want to blow some money, but I must remember that I have not begun the new job yet. But I am making good progress on my thesis.
