Thanks for the suggestion, Katie Bee. I really want to be within walking distance of the conference, though, because I don't plan to get a car.
eta: job and interview ~ma!
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

[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.

That does make sense now that I know you're going to be at a conference. A conference, by the way, that is sort of making me drool with all the greed of a thousand bad career choices.

I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I don't know yet for sure if I'll be able to go.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, if you do, maybe I'll finally make that trip down to the aquarium, meet you for lunch and stand around inhaling all the librarian-fu.
I really do hate working a front desk. Beverly once said it made her feel stranded like a seal on an ice floe. I prefer laboring away in solitary anonymity where no customers can bug me.

The front desk does suck in a multitude of ways. But 3 miles from home is pretty darn nice.

Um, homework. Really, I'm working on homework.
Katie - I used to like working front desk, but it can get old fast. Though, I will agree with -t in that a small commute is GOLD around here.

{{Tom Scola}} Geez, dude, the universe needs to give you a break.
If there's even minor work to be done landlords have a million ways to eat away at the deposit check.
True, dat. I had a landlord dock me $6 for a burnt out lightbulb. Yeesh. Sparkly is good, makes them overlook the hair dye stains in the sink.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
xpost with natter. Dh's friend the buddhist monk called. He told me that being grounded is good, but not something that I should approach with velocity. He also needed to talk to me bacause he has come over to the Joss side. He saw Firefly and Serenity - and he knows why i am such a fan. He wants my take on BTVS now.

Good luck on the job, Katie.
Beth, I'm glad you weren't broken, but I know how bad a fall like that can feel.
