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.
