Me too, just substitute "scientist" for "engineer."
Talk about timing for trying to fund a venture!
Val Yeah... we were RIGHT in the middle of series B when October hit. Sheesh. Doesn't sound much better for the West Coast either. Best of luck to you! (No worries... I'm highly employable.)JB I took a contract job; pays well, 20 hours/week. On the balance, I feel extremely lucky. I've been told that some VCs can't get the money they were promised --- the funders lost it all during our recent mess. My group hasn't given up yet, but we're all very doubtful.  Oy. Val

Yes, yes, what the heck are we thinking???
We thought we'd try one more time for a DD. Lesse... my dad is the second of 7 boys, I'm the first of 3 boys... genetics are stacked against us. But we decided to give it the ole college try.
JB Sorry, you lost me somewhere between Series B and the West Coast. Val

A couple of conversations happening concurrently. On topic: yeah we seem to have our terms sheet and we're in the middle of raising money but this current mess... well... is a mess. I am not worried (except for health care). Off topic: my location refers to the fact that DW is "glowing" and we have D? due next June. Not quite through the first trimester, but we're almost there. Thanksgiving we'll announce to friends/family in real life. Kriston and I were posting in multiple threads at once so that didn't help either!  JB

Yes, congrats. I was "illuminessent" too when I was pregnant with DS. But that was just because of all the blood rushing to my face when I leaned over the toilet to heave  LOL!

Congratulations, JBDad! I hope all goes smoothly.
I'm remembering those days, acs. I don't think I could do it again...

I hear you acs. It's a big part of why we stopped at 2 kids. Yakking for 9 months was NOT my idea of a good time! Being awakened at night by yakking was NOT my idea of a good time! Labor and delivery were a breeze compared to all the yakking... Illuminescent, indeed!

Congrats JBDad... Keeping our fingers crossed for pink for you...
On topic: BK (before kids), I was an OD/HR corporate trainer. DD5 just joined KG this Fall, DS7 is in 2nd so I am home alone. Did send out a few resumes but again, timing is everything. This is probably the worst time to jobseek, not just the economy but also Fall. So, I am SAHM for now...

Well, my RL job is quite boring compared to all I've been reading. I work at a cubicle job to bring in a paycheck. My job has nothing to do with my degrees (International Relations and Economics)nor does it really interest me other than providing said paycheck. I am an Administrative Assistant for several salespeople. My job is to make sure that all the paperwork is completed correctly and on time. I joke that my real title should be cat herder...
Congrats to JBDad and your family!
