Shrift, have you had lunch yet? I'm free right now! And hungry.
Sorry, I got Thai about an hour ago! Damn.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I had Thai for lunch with my coworkers. Just vegetarian spring rolls and wonton soup, but yummy and hot.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Where is nearby Thai? I'll probably just do Potbelly today.

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
Ohhh. I want Thai for lunch!
But I have no friends for to lunch with.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

Timelies, all
Skipped over 5,000 posts. Ugh.
Sitting here trying to pass time before my interview. I should probably eat lunch, but I'm waiting for a call back from company to verify my interview time. They gave me two different times originally, and because I got the message while I was on my way to visit my folks, I wrote it down on a convinient piece of paper that seems to have inconviniently vanished from my car. I'm pretty sure I have the right time, but I don't want to show up 30 minutes late by mistake.
Having done enough interviews, I've come realize the ooky almost sick feeling is actually my nerves, and nothing to do with my health. Bleagh. The feeling is intensified to today by 1) really wanting this job and 2) I thought I nailed the interview I had on Monday for some contract work with a different company and it turned out not so much.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Thanks, ita! I'll be on the lookout.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate that. It seems my impression of how well I did in an interview has no relation to whether I would get a job offer.

Good luck, Kalshane! Deep breaths.
I've never had a OTEaster candy. Pesky corn syrup/corn starch allergy. If I can ever find marshmallows I can eat I will be soooooo happy. Hard candy shells I don't pine for so much, but they do limit the options.

Girlfriend to the rescue. I called her to see if maybe she had put the paper in her purse and it turns out she brought it inside so it wouldn't get lost, but then forgot to tell me she had done so. Oops. So at least I know was remembering the time correctly.

The worst part is I'm getting several calls and e-mails a day from different contracting firms about positions at the company I interviewed with, so they're apparently looking hard for people. I have to wonder if there was some red-flag question that I somehow misinterpreted or otherwise blew.
