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.

David, you know Phil is on The E! Hollywood Hold'Em show, right?

I saw him! Now I am only 1 link away from every unbathed young thing in Hollywood.

Thanks Fred. I just saw on the website that the application fee is $1300. Non-refundable. That's a lot of money to shell out after only one seemingly successful phone interview. Shit.

Would you want to move to Florida if you didn't get this job, Wolfram? Or are you kind of looking everywhere in the country?

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

That's a lot of money, Wolfram. If they offerred you the job and you hadn't applied for the bar yet, would you be totally screwed?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Trust my rage

That's a lot of money to shell out after only one seemingly successful phone interview. Shit.

Plus, the deadline is May 1st and it says you can pay a late fee (although I didn't see how much). I'd want more than just an interview before I forked over that much money.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Whoo for the good interview, but I agree them suggesting you shell out $1300 without an actual job offer seems rather crazy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's either a sign that the job's pretty much yours for the taking, or that the guy you spoke to is such an asshat as to think nothing of pushing candidates that won't get the job to spend that kind of dough because he wants whichever one he picks prepared in time.
