[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I was just asked to publicize the position, and another one. After I indicated that I would be applying.

Which you just did. By announcing it here.

What? We're on the internets. I say consider your duty done.

Jobs ~ma to ChiKat & Emily & libKitty! (plus some extra dense~ma for libKitty... maybe they're just having you post it for legal reasons. I second that it's announced - you're good to go).

ChiKat - I was going to say the same thing as Emily, but since she said it so well, all I have to add is middle schoolers and drama classes - great combo. (I think the age group rocks, but then I also get happy for poetry writing with 16 and 17 year old arts-magnet students ) You can be goofy and crazy and if someone looks in on your class with le raised eyebrow, you can just pawn it off on some sort of experiential theater. Plus, you can give them the great literary experience of actually hearing some fantastic lines spoken, not just read... I have a friend who, when things get completely out of pocket, tells her middle school drama kids that if they get to the end of the task, she'll teach them a mime trick. Sounds odd, but apparently works every time.

Joss' post. Very much that.

My sister and BIL come to visit tomorrow & I cannot wait. They're getting in at 2 am... (no amount of hinting that they should crash at a hotel near Dulles made it through the phone lines)... I think that I will drool on my desk tomorrow while they snooze off the jetlag.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Miss Fay, have you been teaching the wee bairns about S1 Smallville again? Hmm?

Job ~ma to Emily and ChiKat and libkitty! libkitty, for my current position, both of the two main people I supervise applied for this position, and both were involved in interviewing me (and the other candidates).

I'm supposed to have a conference call at 9 a.m. this morning, but there was no reminder from the person who initiates this call each month. Am I a very bad librarian for wishing and hoping that she's completely forgotten?

Also, long meetings at 10:30 and 2:30 today. Blech!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got a long meeting at 11 today. But then I've got the afternoon free -- I'll probably go grocery shopping and cook some seitan. All very exciting.

HA! I'm glad you didn't remember to suggest to S that she come to our place at 2 a.m., not withstanding the fact that I'm very excited to see her and her DH!

I considered it... except now I think that I've got the date wrong by 24 hours. Silly date/time stuffs. They fly out at 7pm today-Thursday [NZ] and land at Dulles at 11:45pm tomorrow-Thursday [US]. So if she gets here at 2 am, that's actually Friday isn't it. Except in Auckland, where it's Saturday. Ei. This is verging on the math.

And our Kentucky cousin/Sue's twin comes in to BWI at 11 am on Friday - so I'll actually be drooling on my steering wheel. I am a very good big sister. The next three weeks involve at least six trips to the airport, one roadtrip to Pennsylvania, and a visit from you, Sparky and DH, right? PS - insent.

oh, and I have 3 meetings-from-hell in there somewhere. I am starting to flinch whenever someone says 'we just got back from this conference and....' Enough said that technology presentations for K-12 education invariably involve portals - and nothing else. Because all the people who were selling portals as the total solution to big business and universities have to find their next market somewhere, right? Hey - portals. Cool! And then we can go try out our new CD-rom drives.

My DH will be at a Frisbee tournament that weekend, I think, Sox. I'll try to remember to check with him. Hopefully, we can find a weekday to come up and have some dinner with S and C.

My DH still brings up his chess game with Aunt Fay at S's wedding. Hee!
