Good luck.

K-Mad is worth a lot more than a stinkin' starting salary of $40K. As his agent (think Scott Boras as a fall-down drunk, but without the slime or complete lack of ethics), we'll start the negotiations at $65K and the finest wines known to humanity. If you want "The Gov Docs Guy," prepare to pay. Your move. (Now if i was Scott Boras i would say we have another university prepared to pay $64,375 right now...)

I notice your blogger profile doesn't go anywhere...hmmm.

I wish I could negotiate salaries for the library. I just do the web stuff.
