IJMC Human Resources, Meet MIT

                  IJMC - Human Resources, Meet MIT

Just a shortish joke to end your November IJMC month with. A quick FYI, 
starting tomorrow there will be two IJMC's a day since I'll be on 
vacation for the last two weeks of the month. You'll get all your IJMC, 
just a little early this time around. Things will resume normality (or a 
close approximation of it) in January.                             -dave






       Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources
       Person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, "And
       what starting salary were you looking for?"

       The candidate said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a
       year, depending on the benefits package."

       The HR Person said, "Well, what would you say to a
       package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical
       and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of
       salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a
       red Corvette?"

       The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow!!!  Are you
       kidding?"

       And the HR Person said, "Certainly, ...but you started it."
