"You don't sound like you are 'tooting your own horn'  -- you sound like a whole brass band!  Ha!

We will see whether your career proves as fulfilling as you envision it...Yes, you have a lot of potential, but at this point it is just that -- potential.

Here is the contract package I'd like to offer you:

**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

**$10,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 25th percentile

**Required to teach four summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load

**Five-day a week teaching schedule.

How will you respond? (Please select an option from the menu below:)

1.  Those requirements work for me!  I accept your kind and generous offer!

2.  You'll have to do better than that!

3.  Hmmm...You are facilitating both research and teaching...Which is more important?
