and what are you, dr H? An unnatural speaker......and of course you can use whiter, redder etc....just the same as saying you're "more wrong" most of the time or and me- "more right"......my gosh, Ameya...you're sounding like Sheldon Cooper.....

luckily I edited it before you posted and sure you can use it, but it's senseless as this are colours and not frequencies of being right or wrong...(and here you're surely more often wrong )
what is greener here?

ppfftt....that is easy....green is greener than bright green which is greener than pale green which is less limey greener than lime green which in turn is less army greener than army green and of coursedark, green is the greenest of all....according to casandra's not-so-green brown eyes which are browner than Spidey.......

The creepy (greeny) craziness of Casandra.

Bringing you all back to the topic,

I spoke to my Boss and we concluded that I should hold the thought of the PhD for at least a year cause the company wants me to stay for a while. So, I can ask for a raise!!!!

The question is how much is a good ask? 10%, 50% or 100% (isn't that one's dream come true)

WOW, good news Ameya!!! Congrats!!!

You shall treat me a great Indian curry serve with Naan-Tandori if I were to visit India.

Usually depends on your company's policy. 10-30% is normal, but still, depend's on your basic income.

awww....but who started the 'whiter' discussion? We were soo on track until you decided to derail your own thread...I guess  congrats are in order, Ameya..... as for your raise, it depends on which level you are in the salary scale...a 5 to10% increase would not be  so shameless......

Here is the link to the Lab Times article about the disposable academic. Fair warning: It's quite discouraging and disenchanting....
