Heeeeeeeeeee!
I guess I've been blown off yet again by this woman I'm trying to interview for my thesis. Do you guys think it makes sense to just email her my questions? It's not ideal, but better than nothing, yeah?
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We have just started having to fill out timesheets
I despise this. The idea that I need to tally 40 hours a week irks my salaried self. It's a thing.

Ha ha! She called! I now know the real problem with doing this over the phone instead of in person -- it went much faster because she couldn't see me sitting here writing frantically, so just kept going. Useful, though.
Tracking your time is annoying. I didn't mind the place where we just swiped in and out, but I've never had a job where my time was billed in different ways depending on what I was doing.

1. Stop just declining my invites. If you're not available then, block it out on your calendar. Counteroffer a time when you are available.
2. Stop talking loudly on obviously personal phone calls while your mouth is full.
3. Please to let me go home.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
When I used to do the occasional phone interview, I always recorded them (with permission, of course) and took notes more as a guide to where on the tape to go to transcribe later. Because it IS hard to keep up unless you know shorthand.
Nobody in my office wants to work late. Although there's a stiff breeze up here, it's like 72 out, and sunshiney. For the first time, I'm regretting my 'new' car (bought Oct.) doesn't have a sunroof!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH records all his phone interviews with a cheapie wiretap from Radio Shack -- basically one end plugs into the phone, and the other end into the mic jack of any recording device. It's quite handy.

If I have anything to say about it, this was my last phone interview, so I'm just beefing up my notes now and calling it a day.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think it was a little unfair that I had to miss shrift day, but I was out doing various things and shopping, and I got a very nice pair of pants for $8.50.

You were busy having a thrift day. I think it'll be okay in the end.
