Oh good. Dad's gorey tales (though I edited HEAVILY) didn't cause fleeing. While I'm squeamish about reality and me (I need to revisit the dentist. I'm afraid to despite the last one being really low key and good and gave me a headset on LOUD for a filling ), the stories don't bug me, though they often veer into TMI. And make me laugh at how gross my family can be.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I skimmed over the gorey bits. I do faint, y'know. :) (Funny for Ye Olde Goth and Industrial Son-of-Mortician boy.)
Different topic entirely: that interview I may have mentioned last week?
Got an offer.
It includes STOCK OPTIONS.
will be pondering all night now

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Congratulations, SH!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Go SH!!

Hmmm...much pondering. Take.
OK, so I'm living my jobescape through other people, I admit it. Oddly enough, for now? I'd like managing customer service. Isn't my goal career or anything, I just know how I think people should be treated pretty strongly, and how to deal with difficult customers- and I'm good at it. My director has said so. So. Escape.
Alias: I so love Marshall. He's comic relief, I know, but he's the antithesis of SpyDaddy and it make is so sweet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, fancy. I didn't know they still had stock options!
Related to that: I was talking to this trustee of my grad school at lunch today, and he asked me "why nonprofit?" I went into my whole tale about how I moved to DC thinking I'd get into politics, but fell into nonprofit stuff, blah blah blah. He was like, "Oh, I meant why not for-profit?" Oh. Huh. Never really occurred to me. I was very careful to point out how happy I was that other people were out there making the big bucks for me to ask for, though. We actually had great conversations, me and this rich guy in his 60s.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, StuntHusband!

Networking, Jesse. Networking. Go you and spin!

Woo hoo, StuntHusband!

I'm stunned. This hasn't happened to me in over 10 years.
Jilli, if I take this offer, I'll be able to go dancing forever as I'll never work Thursdays again.
As accustomed as I am to talking about myself - Short Man's Syndrome, always puffing myself up like a cat - I didn't think I'd impressed them so much that they'd buffer a part-time job with stock options. And this isn't a startup, either.
