So... V and I might work together
Now that he's got permission to defend, he's intensified his job search. He's found himself at a crossroads: either continue in biomed materials research which was the subject of his PhD, or work in healthcare systems management, which is my field and which he is equally passionate about.
He's had a couple of meetings with my boss/professor to talk about the potential to work as a post-doc here. Sounds like my boss actually has a lot of good (and funded) projects lined up, and all V has to do is say the word and he could get started. Now he just has to decide which path he wants to take.
I wouldn't mind, as we wouldn't be working directly together on the same projects.
Hmmm.

Re: So... V and I might work together
I also think that would be cool. I have a friend who works in the same department as me (we were friends before we were co-workers). I was afraid it would be weird, but we're on different ends of the hall working on entirely different things and we barely interact, except when we decide to take lunch together. I don't find it weird at all.
On a similar note, Kyle is considering applying for my old job when it is finally posted. It's not what he ultimately wants to do, but it would be a good stepping stone and would keep him from working outside all winter long. My boss really likes him, so it may be a possibility.
If it's a job that V would like and you don't mind, then go for it.
I used to work with an ex bf. I helped him get the job when we were still together and in law school, and then our relationship went south before we both started working there. It did get a little weird a few times when he left me presents on my desk (swedish fish and a small replica of the love statue from Philly) or would use the company mail room to send me a love package at home. But overall, it actually wasn't that big of a deal. We were in diferent departments and rarely saw each other face to face.
That's neat. I would definitely think it could work.
We have 2 husband and wife teams here (well, one set is currently working out of our plant in France) and it seems to work well for them. I believe they both met while working here. The couple that's in France are both engineers, but they work on completely different product lines, so there's rarely any overlap.
It would work very well for you guys for commuting and such if you decide to more out of downtown.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
