Busy morning ahead, especially since I just found out about a position at the OSU medical center's IT department that my boss and I agree would be a perfect next step for me after what I've already done here.

So, I think I'll be applying for it shortly. It looks like it would start not long after I left Wooster...maybe a couple months between the two positions at worst case, which I could plan for, save for, and perhaps get parental help on car payments.

I want this job, I think. Unless I see something even better, I want this job.

As mephron noted, this is all you need to know about 'marraige protection' week.

Marraige in America should not be forced to one religion's standpoint, either de jure or de facto. Christianity is a good thing. I have no issues with Christianity, even if I think some of it's members can go rather against what its' founder had in mind. For that matter, I have no problems whatsoever with encouraging the idea of a lasting, monogamous marraige.

Limiting the scope of who is 'allowed' to enjoy a lasting monogamous marraige, however, I have a problem with.

Love is something we shouldn't ever try to forcibly legislate, and the fact that this 'marraige protection' mentality could also be used to prevent dissolution of abusive marraiges or divorces for legitimate healthy reasons is just as disturbing as the idea that anything other than a Christian heterosexual marraige is something that we as a nation should be attacking.

I'm now officially going to be a bit nervous for the next little while.

I applied for the Help Desk Coordinator position at OSU medical, operating out of University Hospital/Corporate, and the Change(upgrade)/Problem Management Specialist, also out of University Hospital/Corporate.

I think I look like a pretty attractive candidate, especially since out of jobs that have a listed salary range of $28,000 to $35,000 a year, I only intend to ask for $31,000, and don't need moving/travel expenses. (Though if they offer, I won't say no!)

Next step, hopefully, interviews, and selling myself well. Thank god for a slow day at work.

Hmm. Idle thoughts, ye people in the 'real' workplace.

As I embark on hunting for a real job, finally, what /is/ a reasonable salary for me to request? Am I aiming too high with ~$30,000 a year, +/- $1000? Too low? About right?

I'm quite mindful that this will be my first real full time job that isn't splitting my salary between benefits such as room, board, and food.
