Thanks, Jesse, that seems sensible. I'm all worried about this one because I'd really really like to get the job.

It would get rid of the ickiest parts of what I do, would allow me to ride my bike to work, and would allow me to work a 9/80 workweek--thus getting every other Friday off. Given that I already work 45-50 hour weeks, this would be a huge improvement in my quality-of-life.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am guessing that with the first part - it is safe to say supervisory - because the word expert is used - so it claims the higest level of knowledge. howevr, you might want to mix a 4 in - if you haven't supervised somedoing that in awhile , or just started superviseing for a balance thing.

in this part( 2nd question) are thing so unrelated that they don't fit together? is there a way to emphsise the parts you know well in a coherent narrative?

and I'l go with Jesse on part 3, since I had no answer of my own.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse, there was a stand-alone Blackpool special last season in England, whchc is probably what you've Tivoed off of BBCA.

BTW, it is a happy day. I am reading a book - I was going to make brownies - and found a truffe brownie mix from TJs. It is very good ( i never buy brownie mixes) easy and good . and there are still ingredients to make brownies from scratch in the cupboard.

Last night I met a woman that hates to eat the food in the pantry- because it means she has to go get more. In the case of brownies , it almost makes sense. except then there would be no brownies

I need to go to TJ's, and to the bike shop, but I really need to finish this application. Argh. I so hate doing resumes and applications!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oops, sorry!

Although, I was thinking about that show (which I never watched) recently, when I caught a BBC What Not To Wear with a woman who was a dealer in Blackpool.

I gave myself the extra hour when I went to bed. Instead of 12:40, it was 11:40! Still slept an awful lot. So far, still haven't used the heat much. I may be acclimating to 65. It may only last until it gets really cold, and by the end of winter I'll again be cranking the heat up to 78, but....it's a start. Considering rates are up 72%.

I think June is going to be a very busy month. And at least half aren't even internet people. And there's the marriage of my former (not in a bad way) best friend from 9-16. When my Idaho friend called out of the blue, I have to admit my first question was "are you pregnant?!" (She's not, she just wanted to gab. She laughed at me.)

I went out and returned the boots. But I got another pair that fit much better. They don't have as interesting a heel, but they are so much more comfy. And twice as much, but whatever. Currently laundering and cooking dinner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to nap. Like, seriously.

But first: isn't $7.99 a lot for a small box of blueberries? I paid that yesterday in a fit of not paying enough attention. Today, I go to TJ's where I should have been all along because those are three bucks and change there.

I went in the 12 items or fewer lane (and it is fewer there), and the cashier asked me if I was complying. Which is cool-they do boot people out. I totally was complying! But then I checked my receipt, and it said 17 items. Turns out the bananas were rang up as 6@whatever. I think my bottles of Smart Water should be counted individually, but even though the pricing model is the same for bananas, they aren't.

Happy baby news!
