i am from the west coast as well, so i know it TOTALLY sucks to be on the time zone. once the clock hits 3, you know there's no hope for rest of the day. luckily, i got an offer from my top choice last week, so the pain has been less. but there are other schools i am still waiting for. and it is not fun. i too have my phone setup to notify me of any new emails... and when my phone hisses, i'm like 'that's it - there it is'. turns out be university police security something something. screw that. i don't care. come on east coast schools, send a freakin email already!!

i am an avid e-reader, because papers i think are total waste. also, it is easier to find articles in digital versions than having to go through the pile of all those printouts. but unfortunately i don't use any specialized reader tablet. i use my laptop extensively when at home and at school. if i am on the running, my android phone does the job. kindle might be the best out there, but newcomer tablets are also catching a lot of attention. mainly the ipad and the tablets manufactured by samsung, motorola and such. it also depends on your personal taste, so definitely do some research before investing your precious $$. for highlighting, editing and all that stuff, any word processor will do fine. i use adobe professional (our school provides them for free, but you have to uninstall it when you graduate), but foxit reader is very nice if you want to go the 'free' route. and of course, if you buy dedicated e-readers, they will have their very own softwares to do all this. i am pretty sure this depends on your field. liberal arts (roughly humanities, english, history, anthro, etc) must be the leading one on this. your field, my field, i say there aren't very many. and most texts used in grad schools are specially designed by the teachers. for example, all but one grad level class i have taken in my masters were text-free, where the professors put the materials together and gave to us - either in paper format or digitized. i am fine with digital copies as they can be accessed using laptops. we might still have long ways to go before everything comes to kidle-like-e-readers.

haha. quite hilarious. to the OP: if it was only verbal, you're fine. sure it might look bad from the employer's perspective, but if it's not what you want to do, then the hell with it. if you think that by working that job, and re-applying a couple years later will make you a better candidate, and can get into good programs, then think about it. perhaps even take the job offer. but if you aren't sure that doing the job will do you any better, then don't do it. opportunities to attend grad schools come by very rarely, and you are a very lucky and smart person. so, utilize it. once you finish your degree, perhaps you will get chances of crossing better bridges. and like everyone else around here, this is just my opinion. go with your guts.
