First dates and job interviews have a lot in common.
I like job interviews. I'm good at them. And they usually translate into me being wanted more.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I dunno, probably because he probably would have tried to kiss me again and Hells no.

that's not to say I'm comfortable with the idea of dating
I would like, for just the once, to go past the phase of "blind date" and telling-the-same-stories-about-myself and get to the part where I get to spend time with and know better somebedy I already like and trust.

Yes, well, that's because you're all qualified and stuff! Me, not so much. I find job interviews stressful and depressing. They make me a big ball of anxiety.

That sounded all boasty, didn't I?
Well, I do like job interviews. They're a chance to show off and playact in a way I can't imagine a first date being. I also don't mind professional rejection as much as personal, even though the concrete implications to my life are larger.

Oh, hell yes. This is me entirely.

Dear Shrift,
You are too qualified. Would your current workplace be in a world of hurt were you to up and leave? I think so. SO you are qualified and valuable. When you don't believe that, a piece of porn gets burned and dies.

It would be great if you could submit the screams of panic of your current employers at your imminent departure when you applied for your next jobs.

That sounded all boasty, didn't I?
Not to me. I wish I had your professional self-confidence.
Would your current workplace be in a world of hurt were you to up and leave?
Well, right now, yeah. But part of that is because I am a department of one.

The bad porn or the good porn?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You guys, I have a non-date question. Bob is having philosophy people over tonight (the convention is in town) and we bought a prepared batch of buffalo wings at the store. The wings were refrigerated. Am I supposed to heat them, and if so, how? The container isn't helpful.
