That sounds much better, Kalshane, even if still not ideal.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Yeah. If I actually got the weekends off and had some sort of assurance that I wouldn't be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas sitting in an empty building, I'd actually be fairly happy with it. If I ignored the craxy management and assorted administrative BS going on right now, anyway.
Since I skipped, have you heard anything more from the place you interviewed with?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I've gotten a raise at a job in seven years. Granted, there are three different full-time jobs and grad school in there, but still. I tend to work at places that "temporarily" aren't giving annual raises. Oy.
Just needed to make sure I could have my Peanut M&M's. I never ever ever fly without them.
On Sunday, I saw a gate agent start to tell a kid he couldn't bring his sandwich on, but her supervisor said no, the sandwich was fine. So someone might tell you know, and they might be wrong.
My work outing was the biggest waste of time ever. The actual outing was surprisingly fun. The three-hour trip EACH WAY? NSM.

Where did you go?

The COO's country house. Which, fine, but seriously -- we could have gone to Central Park.

Not yet, Kalshane. They said end of this week or beginning of next, so naturally I'm well into panic mode.

Well, good luck.
Considering I haven't done a job interview in over 9 years and the one for this job was pretty laid back, I'm hoping that if I get one for a new job, I won't just go in there, write "I am a fish" 500 times and pass out.

If I get an interview for a job I know I don't want, I may have to do that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Prince's Sexy M.F. : Good car/driving song, or not?
Depends on where you're driving. I tried driving up the 5 from LA once listening to Sign O' The Times, and the album and the highway were a surprisingly poor fit. It's still one of my top-5 desert island favorites, but definitely more city car music than flat open middle-of-nowhere road music (though "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night," "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man," and "The Cross" probably would have sounded fine on the 5; I just switched music before getting to those songs).
The Sexy M.F. album is even trickier, I think. No way to pass judgment without knowing what kind of driving you're planning for.
However, just as oddly, I've not yet found a stretch of road under any conditions under which The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?" doesn't sound utterly fantastic.
