I wonder how Macavity gets home.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
More predictable work environment - I'm looking for a company with a well planned global look at projects. Looking for a company that respects their employees. I am organized employee with long range planning skills and I am looking for a company that needs and respects those skills.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
"Predictability" may not be a good word to use either in the current layoff-happy world. I've been burned using that before ("No one can guarantee that..."). I would say something along the lines of:
- Looking for new challenges. Stagnating at current job.
- Looking to be closer to home.
- New directives at company have changed my position and I'm not really happy with the changes.
These are the types of things that a prospective employer can't find fault with, I don't think.

Good luck with the jobhunt, msbelle!
For other Keith Olbermann fans out there, the New Yorker has an interesting article on him.

What is even happening?
I honestly wouldn't mention family situation in either an application or an interview.
I wouldn't either. I also wouldn't mention the predictable schedule in a cover letter or application, either. You can suss out corporate culture more subtly, while on the interview. I would say something specific about the work at the prospective company and something about wanting to grow, try new things, spread your wings yada yada yada.

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 wonder how Macavity gets home.
He hails a cab?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's probably harder to get back on the bus with all the packages and stuff after shopping.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Heh. But I think that the article indicated that the bus ride is a short one, like 300 yards.

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
Anyway the walk home is a nice way to work off the fish and chips.
