Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
{{{Aims}}} I'm just SO over it today.
Any advice about UC process or politics is gratefully accepted.
I'm not sure there is any that applies across the board. Like a lot of academic places, it's a place of little fiefdoms, not democracies or meritocracies. But the benefits are generally good.

You an' me both, GC.
See, now today has been ok so far in Suziland - though I am about to head home and have to deal with "make the new computer work but don't touch it".

That's one of the things that makes me want this job, Sparky. It seems like it may actually be a meritocracy. The Assistant Director started there ten years ago as a temp secretary. When I asked her what she liked about working there (they'd asked me that question about my last job), she said it was the fact that the Director fostered opportunity.
Hair photos--there is spotty consistency due to camera/lighting issues.
I look a little deranged here.
You can REALLY see the red in fluorescent lighting.

how very Melrose Place!
My day has been craptastic, too -- no particular reason, just crappy.
Beej, that's so interesting about Valium exacerbating needle phobia. When I had that bump removed, the doc RX'd one Valium (no idea what dosage -- only time I'd taken Valium) and I was ok. Still nervous, but able to deal. And at the dentist, I'm cool with novocaine -- I just ask for nitrous beforehand, and warn them they I cannot CANNOT see the needle.
I wonder what meds are indicated for needle-phobia, then?

Seems like you've got to go with the "I love to learn new things and improve myself" theme in the interview then...
Cashmere has pretty red hair!
