OK, phew. It wasn't a job I wanted, which was made clear right off the bat, but I wanted to talk to the woman, since she's at a headhunting firm, and I will want a job at some point, so that's good. I had no interest in faking like I really wanted that particular job, especially since it would have involved much bullshitting about my experience in order to make it seem like they would want me for it, anyway.

AND I was able to use the call to get off the phone with an annoying person who had called me a minute earlier. Awesome.

Totally agree about the voice thing and Dr. Skoda, uh, Imean Mr. Simmons.On a related note, I finally saw the Braugheriffic "Thief" trailer. Looks exciting, if not great, and not as...ponderous as his other post-Homicide TV.

Which is better? The larger good, or the greater good?

"greater,", I'd say. Like the alliteration.

This morning, I started the grievance process for the job that I was screened out of. It's possible that this is going to get me nothing but ill will.

We had an emergency board meeting last night because a member of our coop that we are in the process of trying to evict had a fire the Monday night.

My stress level is at about 27, on a scale of 1-10. (ETA, it's still probably way less than the woman who has to live below the other woman OTOH.)

Hmm. The "larger good" implies the good is bigger, whereas the "greater good" implies that the good, if not bigger, is more concentrated.

So I suppose what kind of good you want might come down to storage capacity and the ability to use the concentrated version (or the availability of a suitable diluting agent).

That's by the same friend whose Emily's Reasons just got yanked. My fingers are crossed, even though she failed to cast Colin in it.

Sue, you need to make specific relaxation plans for tonight.

I tried to buy the stupid belt at the mall and they didn't have it in a small. Luckily they suddenly have the other belt I bought in a small, so I will be exchanging that. I love metal belts and want to dive into a phase of wearing them to the exclusion of my leather ones. But I only have the one, since I seem to have lost the chainmailish one I've had for years.

I have a friend staying over, and there may have to be wine. Or Scotch.

Sue - calmness for you today.

I am tired for no good reason. I think I could have slept another 3 or 4 hours easily.

The only good thing about today so far is oatmeal. By my estimation, that means the day will get better.

Cripes, Sue. Wine and scotch with a good friend does seem to be in order.

The "greater good" is for society, the "larger good" is the better thing.

My phone has been ringing off the fucking hook this morning. So weird! One person I haven't talked to in months, my grandmother who I've been trying to catch up with for a week, the job thing, AND another friend. I hope I'm done for the day now.
