My mantra today is "Lord Give Me Strength" and I need it. I'm also trying to vibe any stray Buffista ~ma to me. It's work stuff again. I'm discovering I have a really slow learning curve with some things and need more supervision than what I've got. I'm going to bring this to my supervisor but right now things are not good. LGMS. I'm so fighting the urge to run (although i have no car) or quit (which is stupid and I don't want to do).

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
How does one tactfully explain a romance hangover?The grin usually gives it away.
Last night I got to listen to some people having sex in the next hotel room. Much of the squeaking, not so much other sounds of actual enjoyment. I was tempted to sketch out a few hints, tips and a diagram or two and slip the paper under their door in between sessions. As a public service, you know.
Teppy, how frustrating that the doctors haven't found anything. Your father is very lucky to have you near to talk to/listen to those over-educated white coats.What Sparky said.
I don't know. I hate turning down perfectly good inteviews, but asking someone, for their first interview, to commit to an entire day of interviewing? (I think it's more appropriate for a second interview, if at all)On a second interview, I could see this but on a first? I have had first interviews where I knew ten minutes in that me and the job were unmixy. Committing to a full day of that possibility? Huh. Does it seem like something you would fit into well and that would make you happy?

Nora, it sounds like a whole day means they are seriously considering you for the job instead of just screening you -- which is good. Granted, a whole day is the norm for the library positions for which I apply.

I think I'd need to go there and talk to people to figure this out. Knowing the particular department, it really could go either way. I'd have been psyched to go in and talk for an hour or so so we could each get a feel for each other, before going any further.

Even if you are scheduling them at the same time. Um, actually scheduling, not scheduling them to occur on the same day.
I think I have lost the cognative today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Get through it ~ma, askye.
Tough call, Nora. I've never had an all day interview, so I am completely without advice or insight.
On a completely frivolous note, I was watching GG last night and in the scene with Lorelai and Rory cooking and drinking wine, they were totally drinking out of mhy crystal!
I was thrilled. It's like my stemware is famous.
