[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What's strange is my MIL is/was Catholic and Italian. However, she is being cremated and having no service, visitation, gathering... usually if you are both Catholic and Italian, hoopla is required.

That is odd. I can't remember if I said anything before, but I am so sorry for your loss, Megan.

Megan, lots of ~ma to you, your DH and family. My MiL, likewise, had expressed her wish for donating her body to the medical school, cremation and very little ceremony. My DH found it helped him to have a gathering of friends, anyway, so he could eulogize her. So, I guess my point is, if you need something to help you get through a very sad time in your lives, don't deny yourselves.

Today is my 4th day back at work, and the 3rd interview we're hosting since I've been back. It will be my 3rd lunch at the same place, and last night was my 2nd dinner with candidates. We have 3 more interviews scheduled in the next couple of weeks. It will be a small miricle if I can actually keep people straight when all is said and done.

What is even happening?

Dude, Steph, your boss is not made of human parts.

But mayhaps there be an amulet suitable for smashing...

This is so true.

And fit in your pants (that works either if the food is great, or horrible).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think "You can sleep in my attic!" is my new favorite thing to say.

Great at dinner (and we get to have booze, too), not so great at the lunches. I'm getting sick of making small talk without asking any illegal questions.

So, what's the craziest question people have gotten during job interviews? My sister, a math professor, was asked by the President of an Unspecified California Campus, "So, I see you lived in Cambridge... Don't you think people in Boston drink a lot of vodka?"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was once asked, "What offends you?"

Feel better , hon.

Have I told you guys this story? When I was working in my last office, my mom used to call all the time. What she usually wanted was for me to pick up a loaf of bread or a jug of milk on my way home. My boss always asked if everything was okay, and over time, she'd simply ask, "Bread or milk?"

It was a surprise to see her at the funeral home when my dad died, but a welcome one. I met her in the center of the room and she gave me a huge hug. "How's your mom? She holding up okay?"

I said yes, and she held on and continued. "Is there anything she needs? Bread or milk?"

It so took me by surprise I shouted in laughter. We both stood there in the middle of the room shaking with giggles, hugging each other and trying to pretend we were crying. I'll never forget her for that, and I'll always be grateful.
