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

The interview went well. I am supposed to hear back by Thursday.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yay, sj!

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I am FedExing a resume tomorrow (Thursday) morning. The possible job looks fun and exciting and is located near family and buffistas, but I mostly really like where I am. I know, sucks to be me. Still, I would really appreciate any spare job ~ma, decision-making ~ma, and perhaps some FedEx ~ma since it's notoriously difficult to get stuff out of here in a timely fashion.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm looking for a doctor recommendation for a friend. No really.

This friend, who lives in a part of the US where the doctors don't seem to be so great, has a nasty yeast infection. The not-so-great doctors have been unable to deal with it and it's gotten worse, spreading to her mouth and other unpleasant areas of her body. She finally got medication that is stopping it from getting worse, but it's not going away and it's still quite uncomfortable. She asked me if I knew of any doctors who might be experts in this problem, and so I come to the Hive Mind. She's willing to travel and stay in NYC, Boston, or DC for an extended time if there's a doctor who can see her. If anyone has any recs, please email me at my profile address.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My dad had his umpteenth fall yesterday, and his stuntman-like luck finally ran out—he broke at least one rib after landing on a table corner on his way down. Cat scans at the ER last night showed no internal bleeding or serious injuries beyond the break and surface abrasions, but he's looking at 6-12 weeks of recovery with no treatment possible besides meds for the pain. Any health-ma you can spare would be greatly appreciated.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hello's. Soliciting some good pr-ma, please. We've got a couple of our buddies in town this week and they'll be shooting our promotional video over the next week. Here's hoping that equipment, lighting, travel, etc. all go well, and that kids (who know us and are willing to talk to the camera) show up in enthusiastic droves, and the various recording projects we've got scheduled actually turn up and go reasonably smoothly. Also that we won't totally panic and freeze up in the camera eye. Meep!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

i've been pretty MIA lately (except in the VM thread) because of work insanity. so i feel bad asking, but...

any spare ~ma y'all have lying around would be wonderful if you directed it in my and my family's general direction. not really comfortable getting into details, but the buffista ~ma is legendary and i'm hoping it works its magic in this case.
