Much job-ma Emily. Sorry the prospect didn't pan out.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Within the last month, I read an article about a study which supports the theory that sleepy drivers are more dangerous on the road than alert drivers.
See, I would have thought the opposite, as what sleepy people most want is warm, soft, snuggly pillows and blankies. Seeing as other cars and trucks, bridges, etc. are not warm, soft and snuggly, they would try extra hard to avoid hitting them.

What is even happening?
Emily, I'm sorry you didn't get the job. I hope you get something better, that lets you be all, "IN YOUR FACE!" to them.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Emily, I am so sorry. But, I think this just means there is a better place for you which you will find very soon.
Also? What Cindy Said.

Emily, I'm sorry. The job search process is so damned frustrating.

I really am moving across the country with no particular prospect of a job
I'm sorry you didn't get the job, Emily. I did the same exact move (from Boston to SF) with zero job prospects many years ago during a time when jobs were scarce anyway and I survived okay. And (it seems like anyway) you have actual skills that I'm sure will help you find a job sooner than later. I went there having just finished an undergrad film degree. It was stressful but I'm so glad I did it.

Yeah, I'm hoping so. It's a bit stressful because of the seasonal nature of my particular job market, because I basically have a month to find a job, and there will be fewer and fewer jobs open. On the other hand, the ones that are still open will be getting more and more desperate to be filled, so that's an upside! I guess.

Emily, if you have any interest in private school teaching, I have some connections for you. E me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
we think it was written on a dare by someone who was very drunk
Or someone like our office clown, who likes to create fake memos for April Fool's Day.
His all-time greatest may have been the memo in which a manager supposedly announced that he was changing his name to Fjord. And another manager thought it was genuine....

Yes! And they will be lucky to have been so desperate.
