Congrats!

FYI - I think it is mathematically possible to figure out your income based on the information you have given. Fortunately for you, I have no idea how to do this, but just in case you don't want people knowing your salary.

Yes, it's easy. I just calculated your salary.

I don't mind people knowing my salary, it is actually publicly available. Since I work at a state institution you can go to the UIC library and look up what I make, heck, you can even see what the Provost is making.

I was thinking the same exact thing when he posted this. Math is hot.

I have to consult my financial advisor first. "Ferret, ferret where are you?"

too tired to do the math, so congrats. anything is better than a 0% raise :) happy belated birthday too. Sorry I missed it. We should get together soon since you live so close. How do you like having a ferret? Just got a pet myself...pretty cool.
