I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Susan, I've sort of seen Bravo Two Zero, if it's the one I think it is. Sean Bean as British soldier during Gulf War? I think it's fairly intense but worth watching, as a Bean fan. Plus, if you have a non network-censored version, there's nudity. Not erotic nudity, but still. I didn't pay all that much attention to it because war movies are generally Not My Thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Susan, I'm not familiar with either of those movies. So can't help there, except to note that a number of Buffistas have fought for Sean Bean as SCB.

And I've got a longstanding claim, too.

Is it time for your husband to take Annabel out for an afternoon (or morning, or evening) while you lounge with a decadent snack for a double feature?

Problem is, I spend so much time on choir and writing activities--weekly Wednesday choir rehearsals plus alternate Sundays where I have to be at both morning services, Monday night writers group, Seattle Romance Writers of America once a month, writers conference planning meetings once a month, plus I've just added a monthly Regency critique group. It already feels like half the time when he gets home I hand him the baby and run. I'm really insanely busy, but I love what I'm doing.

Yep, that's the one, Dana.

Gnerg. I just had my favorite pain in the ass throw attitude at me. Used to it from him, but snippy snippy. If I tell you that your problem is systemic, not specific to the interface and you need to talk to IT, just do it. I am not your personal assistant. Your problem is not my fault and what's more? I can't fix your problem.

How is it a 40+ year old fairly well known professional can achieve such when they have the personality of a 3 year old in need of a nap? Sheesh.

Thanks everyone for the jobma. Since this was my first interview from the interviewee side, pretty much ever, I'm not really sure how to guage it. I got the interview in response to a resume I uploaded to a firm website, and not for any specific job opening although I indicated a strong preference for health care law.

On the plus side he asked me to register for the FL bar, ASAP, and mentioned "short list" and "in-person interview." On the minus side, I have no idea if that's how he talks to all the candidates or what.

All in all, it could have gone a lot worse.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That sounds good to me, Wolfram. When it comes to job hunts, "short list" is one of my favorite phrases. I hope it comes through for you, if you want it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds very positive, Wolfram. Way to go.

So follow up hivemind question: anyone know anything about the FL bar?


Aims - Apr 14, 2005 11:33:27 am PDT #5716 of 10001
Shit's all sorts of different now.

Which one? THere are several. Specially in South Beach.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Wolfram, I know very, very vaguely from a friend who took the FL bar (it was his 4th exam in search of his 4th membership -- he was crazy that way). IIRC from his comments, FL takes the fitness part very, very seriously -- they ask for lots of references, things like that.

I also have vague memories that about 10 years ago, someone sued the FL bar over membership. Seems the bar rejected the plaintiff for membership because the plaintiff had had a mental health problem, received treatment, something along that line in the past.

Sorry, it's all very fuzzy, but it may help.
