research people get screwed

no bonus. no overtime (i count my hours and leave early days to compensate for when i work late and weekends). i don't even think a good review results in potential raise. i'm paid off of a grant (i don't know which one) so there is a semi-fixed budget - the less is spent on me, the more research can be done to a certain extent. sooo there isn't a whole lotta room for giving me extra cash :) eun just needs to get her grant approved (won't know until july-ish) and maybe then i can move up in the ranks :)
