Oh, by the way...
I owe Jesse an apology in public for a lot of weird stuff I said in private emails. I plead morphine, and just generally being an ass-wipe.
Saffron: You just had a better hand of cards this time. Mal: It ain't a hand of cards. It's called a life.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Jesse, I am sorry that I am an ass-wipe, in general.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Gus. No worries.
Include my possible misspell in quotes (I really can't tell) why don't you?!
I think you got it right, though.
I care about realistic expectations and security.
Well, you know that both of those are a crapshoot in any job, so. Maybe what you need is a government job!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The last place at which I interviewed had a lot of people excited to work for the company. And the place looked great! Airy outside, with fountains and at least one great cafeteria, high cube walls, lots of on-campus amenities. Three weeks vacation your first year plus two weeks of company mandatory shutdown annually.
If it weren't so damned far from me, I'd be more excited about it. But I'm rooting for another sweet job with proud employees that's closer.
Both sets of interviews have made me look back at my last employer and roll my eyes. There is no way my department could have mustered that many people that psyched about the company and what the company does. No way in hell. Probably not in most of the company.

Those people stop answering their phones at 4:40, for reals. Edit: to specify, I mean most of the employees I've tried to call in several city and state grantmaking offices.

jobs with beautiful campuses don't exist in NYC. Seriously the supprt staff at the big law firms and banks all are 8-5 or 9-5.

You were wondering, weren't you? I said a thing ... never mind.
I care about realistic expectations and security.
Wait. I thought we were talking about employment. Now I am confused.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I stopped at the grocery store on the way to buy something for dinner and milk, and somehow walked out with that, chips, beer, and sorbet.
I'd be disappointed in myself for not following the plan, but dude, now I have beer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Hooray beer!
