Nora, it sounds like a whole day means they are seriously considering you for the job instead of just screening you -- which is good.
Hmm.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

[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.
askye, ~ma heading your way.
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.Is there anyway you can ask for a thirty minute getting to know each other before the all-day? 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.

I am back from the ER for today. More IV antibiotics and IV fluids. I spiked a temp in the middle of the night last night again, so they want me to come back again tomorrow. They don't think it is my kidney's anymore though, so that is the good news. I feel a little better today. Nicole is the bestest for keeping me distracted with funny stories yesterday when I felt like crying, and Dave is great for coming over and sitting with me last night despite the fact that t whitefonted for the squeamish I had to get up every 20 to vomit. Also, my mother is wonderful for taking another day out of work today to drive me to the ER because I didn't feel well enough to drive myself.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Have got an interview for a job in Thailand, and a phone interview for a job in Bangalore.
Ohh!!! If the Bangalore thing works out, let me know. I have a good friend from grad school who is from there and is back home now who I have been really bad about keeping in touch with but this would be a good excuse for me to look her up and with two people to visit in Bangalore I just might actually make that India trip happen.

Nora, good luck with whatever you decide to do with the job.
Teppy, I hope they figure out was is wrong with your dad soon so that he can feel better.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Teppy, I hope they figure out was is wrong with your dad soon so that he can feel better.
The latest update is that they think it's an enlarged prostate (not unusual in a 64-year-old man) that's been untreated for long enough that the pain spread. Easy enough to treat with drugs (if prostatitis is, in fact, what it is).
And I got the fun of hearing my dad say "prostate." After he first mis-pronounced it as "prostrate," making me think of badfic writers everywhere.
