thanks everyone.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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.

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?

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Actually - when DH was looking for a job - that was one of the big things he talked about. Predictability and wanting more out of life than work. He didn't want to bother interviewing with people that wanted him to work 70-80 hours. Oddly, despite putting it in many different ways, including directly, he still interviewed with people that wanted him to sleep under his desk. All he really wanted was some one that was willing to do some long range planning for the predictable parts of IT - and to make sure that those in IT that have to do the crisis work get enough time to recover, stay sane, and stay healthy ( which include an ability to have some sort of a social/family life) . Guess what his new job at his old company involves? And the job that he ended up not really taking - had the decency to understand that if he worked 12am to 4 am , the earliest they would see him was noon.
Maybe: a company that is looking for a long-term employee

I'm starting Grace's extra ~healthma~ a little bit early. Here's an extra dose of peace and strength to Kat, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
People stopped talking.
Why?
