And it didn't work out, despite an awesome call on Sunday and talk of a full day interview this Friday. They've chosen not to move forward with my candidacy.
I'm really bummed.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So just got a call and I need to have a follow up mammogram and a few ultrasound images taken. I am telling myself that follow up images are fairly common, but if anyone has some spare It's Nothing~ma and Calm~ma lying around, I could use a bit. Thanks.

I’m not sure if this should go here or in Press, but LAistas--Tom Scola will be in town this weekend and is staying with us! If you’d like to get together for a mini F2F for dinner or some such, let’s talk about it in the F2F thread.
Side note: although ND and I have some time this weekend, Tom’s going to be mostly on his own Monday and Tuesday and I’m sure would welcome Buffista-shaped distraction. He’s renting a car, so he can meet you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Can I get some mighty ~ma? We think my roommate's kitten got out through the dryer vent. She's still pretty feral, so we don't have much hope, but Buffista ~ma can't hurt.

cat~ma appreciated- our sweet Taz is undergoing some pretty significant surgery in order to hopefully get this urethra situation cleared up (so to speak) once and for all!

Our wings are not tired.
Hey New Yorker Buffistas and NY-adjacent Buffistas, I have a request. My dear and wonderful employee R and his cousin are trying to visit NY (where they were raised) for a few days during Labor Day week (like from the 7-10 or so). I'm guessing the already-super-expensive NY is even more so because of 9/11 activities. Does anyone have a tip on good places to stay? He's looking at packages that are $1100 or so for 3 days that include the airfare/hotel. Is that the best he can get? I am thinking yes, but wanted to check with y'all.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hi all,
It's that time of year again. Sonic is running a contest to fund Donors Choose projects. If you could, would you please vote for my project (copies of Darin Strauss's book Half a Life). Also, please reshare far and wide. [link] If you vote 10 times then you'll get extra bonus codes, and I have a feeling this may take me a while, but please vote!
If you wanted to donate, that would be great too!

Hey gang, any speedy recovery~ma you can spare for my best friend would be greatly appreciated. He found out last night that what he thought was a kidney stone was in fact an intestinal rupture, and is now in the hospital hopefully avoiding major surgery.
