That's so awesome!! My thesis was part of a really large project of course, but still, it's pretty exciting. Due to scheduling difficulties and such, I pretty much gave up the idea of publishing my thesis, but with a Nature reference behind it, I am reconsidering. Perhaps I should talk to my MS advisor and see what he thinks. It would of course have to wait a few months until I'm done with my coursework. Hmmm. |

Seems like it is definitely worth writing up and trying to submit. If you get to reference a Nature paper, that is always helpful. Plus, it's going to be great to have on your CV. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: TAN 47: El CapiTAN [Vent] So apparently right before my boss signed my customers over to me a year ago he visited with one of them (my 2nd or 3rd largest customer) and told them that we would give them their area to sell in without us supplying any of his competitors, with the exception of one car dealer. My customer has two stores, both in very small towns. My customer calls me today and asks why he saw our delivery truck at another store in town. I reassure him that it's none of my doing and that I will get to the bottom of the matter. I call my boss and he says "We did tell him we would give him his area, but these other customers are on national account and if we don't serve them someone else will, and we don't want to lose the business." Of course, those people are in his name (he gets paid for them and I don't) and my customer is in my name (I get paid for them, as does he, because he's my boss.). So now I have to call, or go see, my customer and explain why he should stay with us, when we aren't going to stick with our agreement. This problem is made worse by the fact that, due to his size, our competitors have already seen him and made it perfectly clear that they will be more than willing to do what we said we would do, but didn't. So, once again, my boss has found a way to screw me while making himself more money. Thanks, A-Hole. [/Vent] |
