DYK Pete is taking the day off since I am not allowed to drive myself --- but all that means for him these days is that he doesn't go to work, has to take a vacation day, then has to work an extra 12 hours over the weekend to make up the work that he missed.

DYK I am desperate for him to leave that job, but there is just nothing else around.

DYK he says he feels like leaving would be giving up, but the upper management there makes it impossible to succeed. I think they had 10% turnover at his level since the beginning of the calendar year!

DYK his former boss took a job in Columbus, about two hours from here, and is really happy there. He keeps encouraging Pete to apply there as well. I want him to apply for it and maybe we will become like Jamie and each commute 75 minutes each way.

DYK or I could do a more extensive search next year.

dyk so glad I had all girls so I didn't have to make that decision
dyk my only opinion comes from something my FIL drilled into me. He was not circumsized as an infant and had to go through the procedure as an adult because of recurring issues. The trauma of it as an adult was something he never got over.

Cathy,

DYK after seeing my SIL during Passover, and hearing hear talk about Brown (she loves to talk about working there), Elaina would be exactly what they are looking for.

DYK Eric was not circumcised at birth, because he was born in Russia and they don't circumcise there.
DYK but we had it done at 2 years of age.
DYK Steve is Jewish, and that's a big part of Jewish heritage.
DYK we just made a decision to do it; Steve felt strongly that he be circumcised.

dyk thanks Joy. We have sent them the Diversity video as well as the news that she won the Princeton Prize for it.
dyk we just sent them her mid-quarter report with grades that are some of her strongest. We've still got our fingers crossed. We've also had her English professor (who is head of the Department) send Brown a personal/additional recommendation on her behalf.
dyk they've made it clear to us that they WANT everyone who is on their wait list. It's just a numbers game.
