Good luck, vw! That sounds perfect.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Susan, this is the one for Castle School. It was your cover letter! I just know it :)

Also, if I get this job, it will be very clear *why* fate didn't want me to get the other job.
See?!?! SEE!!!!!?!?!??!!?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Job~ma for vw!!! Yay you!
From way back - Plei, I'm so sorry about the money woes. I know you said it's nothing new, but it must be even scarier now. Is there anything we can do?
Do we have a Ministry of Killing Absolute Fucking Assholes? She's not stupid, just a Grade-A asshole, and I'm tired of being in the office with her.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was just lectured for an hour in therapy about how I need to be in the world more often. Too much to offer, etc. So, I'm going to hide here for a while with a cup of tea.
This is a 15-hour a week job with benefits.
I so need a job like this. Best of luck getting the job, vw.

Glad to hear it--but if you get the offer, the credit goes to your interview skills, you know.

Yeah, but you got me in the door, which is huge too!
You guys wouldn't believe how amazing this would be. It would mean that I don't have to deal with Free Care and MassHealth and Medicare, which are all systems that have so much red tape and hastle. It just would be amazing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
That sounds like a Made For VW job!
Metafilter picked up that item about the gothy people being asked to leave the screening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and some of the comments are cracking me up (most of the comments are rude and hateful, but some are funny):
I think I shall form a subculture dressing up as pirates, then we will start fights with goths and ninjas.
Now, if they had dressed as Visigoths, I could see where there would be an issue...
Did they only allow people with brightly-colored clothing into this screening?
I think we all know that the real victors of the pirate vs. ninja battle would be the chaos monkeys, feasting on the corpses.
Also, I'm pretty sure that a Tim Burton movie involving goth kids dressed up as pirates, ninjas and robots would be top notch.
