I am saddened to report that I heard ita's gross joke when I was in Jr. High.
I am 5 hours away from getting to an airport to start my trip home. The next 5 hours I have to entertain myself. Thank goodness for free wireless in public libraries.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Nice public library! The ones I've been to around here have internet terminals you can sign up for, but no free wireless.

Re: Robertson's idiotic weather predictions....
There was a poll connected to MSNBC's story on Robertson. The question was "Do you believe Pat Robertson received warnings from God about storms and tsunamis?"
Responses to the totally unscientific poll? 77% NO, 12% NOT SURE, 11%YES.
If you want to believe that God speaks directly to some people, fine. I disagree with you, but fine. However, that 23% that can't tell that Robertson is a blowhard idiot, and God would never waste his time with such a moron.... That's way too many.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If 11% is all his minions could come up with -- because you know they spammed all of their email lists -- I think that's OK.
Talked to yet another person about the job I want, and I'm apparently the only one she's talked to. Right the fuck on, man!

Ann, that's a ferret.
When "Not Sure" gets a higher vote than "Yes" -- and both combined get 1/3 of the vote that "No" does -- I think it's safe to say Robertson has low credibility.
Especially since it's likely that some measurable percentage may have voted other than "Yes" just out of mischief.

I just had a phone interview that turned out to be a 30 minute, whittle the field down kind of interview. Phone interviews are weird. I'm sure I said "um" and "you know" way more than I would have in a F2F interview.

man I was trying to stay unspoiled for the ANTM finale because the group I watch it with can't get together until next week but I think the stupid front page of Salon ruined it for me! I knew the internets would do this!

Yeah, I hate them. I always feel like an inarticulate jackass. Hope you did better than you think!

Where are my parents? OK, they aren't supposed to be here in the NYC until 3-ish, but I wish they would call! I guess I could call them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If a joke just isn't all that funny, does it still get to be called a joke?
Guy #1 said it was a joke, and that he couldn't tell me. Guy #2 grimaced and said he'd heard it, been grossed out, and forgot it. Because I am charming and persuasive, Guy #2 agreed to go back to #1 and pass the joke on to me. And then there was the herpes frog thing.
I like phone interviews. All of mine have gone very well, even those I chose not to pursue (there's a company that will no longer consider me for any position because I did so well on the phone interview, but turned them down (the position they described in the 2nd interview was not the position *I* responded to, and it wasn't one I wanted)). I actually enjoy them for their own sake.
No lunch break today. Will need to sneak a nap somewhere.
Thank you, JZ. Not just for the soap, but for considering the Perkins threat.
