Aw, Jilli....

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry, Jilli.

t shakes fist at stupid passing over Jilli people

I'm sorry, Jilli.

Hurricane free zone sounds like a good idea! Thank you, Tep, for being brave enough to put the idea out there.

Oh shit, Jilli. I was sure you had it.

Oh, Jilli, I'm so sorry. Stupid people. Don't they know a fabulous thing when they see it?

I was sure you had it.

So was I, sadly.

My old boss, trying to give me a pep talk, said "Well, OK. Better to know and not continue chasing that one. From another perspective it does sound quite hopeful in that they liked you enough to see if there is another slot for you. They don’t often say that unless they are really interested in trying to recruit you on some level. Most people I know get a “Thanks for interviewing, brush up on your skills and try again in 1-6 months”. It sounds like you got a much better response.

It sounds like it wasn’t your skills but perhaps more of a team fit thing and if that is the case you really didn’t want to work for that group anyway you are better off finding a team where you would fit in better. In other words… you are too good for them Jilli "

Aw, Jeez, Jilli, I'm sorry. They suck so much for dragging it out like this too.

Awwww, Jilli. That sucks so bad. Asshats.

sj, seriously -- you are GORGEOUS. Honestly, when I met you, I was speechless for a minute. And since you're also interesting and sweet and smart, Teacup Guy's people are going to love you.

I think personal 'cane pain gets a pass, at least in my book. If -t came in here right now, I'd hug her to pieces and offer her all my shoulders. Same with Heather or Dana.

I think Teppy's idea was to have one thread that wasn't a constant discussion of the different media reports on the disaster. That's what's been happening, mostly in Natter. Someone links an article, the rest of us talk about how horrible it is, and there needs to be an escape hatch for people who need a break.

Oh, good god, YES. I'm glad Cindy was here to speak for me while I was driving home. Definitely personal issues related to the hurricane are appropriate -- Heather has people there, Dana has family there (well, not there now, but still), and -t is currently nomadic b/c of that damn hurricane.

If they can't come get some love here, where can they?

I was just hoping for the constant update of news reports and links to same and links to photos and then the subsequent discussion to stay in Natter. It's so overwhelming, I'm already feeling raw from all the coverage.

But real Bitches, with hurricane pain? I am VERY sorry anyone thought I meant that was off-limits. Cause it ain't. It's very much ON-limits. (Why isn't "on-limits" a phrase?)

And, again, if you plan to shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die, hook up the streaming webcam first and give us a link.

My hair is very pretty.

My hair sucks today. I need a haircut so bad. I forgot what it was like to have it short.
