San Antonio Board Gamers: There should be gaming this weekend

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Since gaming is a fantastic way to celebrate things. :)

At 2:04 PM, February 25, 2009, Unknown said...: Passing. I am a candidate. Have the signed paperwork and everything.
At 10:39 AM, February 26, 2009, Dennis Ugolini said...: Well congratulations then! Now just three years of thesis work to go...

But hey, job security!
At 12:46 PM, February 26, 2009, Unknown said...: Job security indeed. Though we home it will be 2 years. And not three. Knowing my boss, it will be three. Oh well.

Congratulations.

Re: 2 more years

In my experience, this guy really has his finger on the pulse of graduate school.

Like the best satire, many of his strips are painfully accurate.

As for the time line.
I only get paid for at most 3 more years. So I will graduate before that.
