Heh. One of the reasons she got was the font on her resume. She thought it was "creative."
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd have about 30 new jobs right now.
So why haven't you taken a pricey apartment and invited us all to come along with you? Hmmm?

Our wings are not tired.
Real Estate has been very good to me. I've made much more profit from the sale of properties that I have owned than I ever did in any other attempt at profit. The gains far exceeded the interest paid. I have been very careful with my selections, and lucky with the results. My debt is still a very scary thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
More from Betsy's link:
After telling me the delay in correspondence was because they had "fallen a bit behind in the creation of the next issue," I was told that being "snippy" to a prospective employer was "unbelievably off-putting," even if they had already decided not to give me the job.
I went home and cried until I passed out, then woke up and cried some more. Then I thought about what the second rejection e-mail really said.
First of all, what does an editorial intern coordinator have to do with the production schedule of a magazine? I read SPIN a lot, and have seen this man's name under a few minor album reviews. Nothing that would delay anyone's schedule. I had gotten a lame excuse for his procrastination, and he obviously didn't take my inquiry seriously.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My elevator surprised me by telling me that the congress did something I liked.
The House voted to extend Day Light Savings Time from March to November.
And then I thought about how sad it was that I never expected the government to ever do anything I liked. That I live in a constant state of flinch at Republican fiat.

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

I'm in the mood to write to her, but I'd like to paste that up in my LJ for further mockery, first.

Allyson, calling me would have sadly only resulted in my realization that I need to restock the stash. D'oh. Sorry babe.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
She's writing up her experience in getting rejected for the internship she really wanted for the paper that gave her an internship? That's weird.
