kbordson 8 #1 February 1, 2006 OK.... I interviewed for a position in TX last week. I haven't heard back yet... probably not for another week or so. But it got me to thinking. Are you the type that HAS to know the answer (even if it will kill the cat), or can you live in the limbo of uncertainty? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #2 February 1, 2006 It depends on what the news is. Some things I can leave alone, other things I'm dying to know. For a job offer, it would depend on how interested I was in the job.

TrophyHusband 0 #15 February 1, 2006 glutton for punishment huh? i hope you get it. all the hard work will really pay off. my wife wants to move to texas and open up a practice. she wants to team up with a anesthetist and a plastic surgeon and do rejuvination and labiaplasty. she wants to call it "lip service". this is right in line with the personalized license plate she wants to get that says "BOXDOC".

Yes, but only if the decision to give her the job or not give her the job can be modeled accurately as a random process which, arguably, it can not.
