Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did somebody here have elementary level books to get rid of? I just got an email from UNO looking for donations of books to schools.

Really? Damnit, I knew I should have brought that damn box of books with me when I was there. -t, can you forward me that info too?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How do I love marriage? Let me count the ways.

Coloradans for Marriage is a right-wing group “pushing an anti-gay amendment in their state. To support their cause, they’ve created a list of all the great things about marriage,” mcjoan writes at DailyKos. “It’s, um, a bit sparse.”

So, my interview this morning went... okay. They wrote things down a lot. I wish I'd really practiced what to say about classroom management, except I don't really know what to say. But they were very nice, and they chuckled at my jokes, so whether I get the job or not at least it wasn't a miserable experience.

Plus, I totally looked great. All professional and shit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwah!

Well no wonder it needs protecting.

Yay for you, Emily! I'm going to need to buy a blouse, I think.

Well no wonder it needs protecting.

Also... isn't their stated purpose to basically restrict the number of marriages? You'd think they'd have a list of "Reasons Marriage Kind of Sucks and You Gay People Wouldn't Like It, Really, It's Not All It's Cracked Up To Be, Take My Word For It."

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

Cheeky monkey.

That's my goal to take away from every interview. There have only been a couple positions for which my resume was perfect. And even then, someone could be more perfect. So I figure it's about giving a decent interview, and feeling solid about that.

Oh wait, they did:

Marriage (a) fosters and facilitates the birth of children in culturally approved ways; (b) fosters the bonding between one man and one woman in order to provide the most beneficial setting for raising and nurturing their; (c) fosters bonding between a man and his children so that the man is most likely to become an active participant in family life; (d) fosters the transformation of adolescents into sexually responsible adults; (e) is an effective institution to protect women by tying men to a monogamous relationship; and (f) has been shown to promote monogamy and faithfulness in the married couple (reducing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases) far better than same-sex union.

("raising and nurturing their" semicolon, apparently.)
