PM: 7 miles, averaged 7:57. HR 162.

Had an interview today and will be working st Oakland Univerdity (where Megan works) as a lecturer. It's not tenure track but it pays a liveable wage, about 10,000 more per year than I've ever made. With a flexible schedule, it's a no brainer. My life and running will be better for it.

Congrats on the lecturer position. Hopefully a door to more opportunity.

Great news Jason. Congratulations!

This has made my day. Congratulations!

Thanks, all. Gave my notice yesterday. The company has been great working to promote me, but it's just not enough money and the hours aren't fun (true of retail in general).

Congratulations Jason. As and aside, we in secondary education are told that lecturing is of the devil and the least effective form of instruction.

From Jason D on Sun, Aug 20, 2017 at 21:15:58 from 73.144.91.168

That's what folks teaching at post-secondary level think too, Rob. It just means I'm not a professor but I'm not a lowly adjunct (making $1500-1800 per class in this area). I've thought about our earlier conversation about how the people to whom we are married are amazingly supportive and patient.
