She still have a fever?

Parenting--it takes an Internet.

It's all gray and clammy here -- coolish and raining on and off.

I'm lying in bed looking at the beach right now AIFG!!!

SO JEALOUS.

On my way home from reporting for jury duty. I'm now postponed until December.

I hope that's a good thing?

MM, you may have just taken the Predictive Index test. My employer in MI used to use that--maybe you've applied there

I think I"m scared of what it would predict...

This is why making plans before coffee is probably not the best trick ever

Amen. And this is why I was hoping that job interview on Wednesday would work out awesome--coffee IN THE LOBBY!! Sigh. Alternately, I need someplace that will pay me tons of money so I can afford a houseboy/girl. Who will bring me coffee in bed.

This time two years ago, I was sending out résumés and calling dozens of recruiters/companies myself. Now, they call me.

Awww.

Sox, I think the opposite of perky goth is ...regular ol' depressed goth?

OK, and now for the "HELP ME O HIVE MIND!!"

Can you help me craft a letter (I'm thinking email, because if I wanted snail mail I should've sent it yesterday) to the people I interviewed with on Wednesday, that is a thank you for interviewing me but you people need to figureout what you want this job to do because I don't want to step into your war, but maybe someday if you ahve a different job I'd be willing to do that one KTHNXBY!

Please?

but you people need to figureout what you want this job to do because I don't want to step into your war,

aieee - third rail. If you got that sense on your interview, I would just thank them bail. You may cross paths with one or more of them later, and their remembering you as polite AND sensible is a good thing. telling them that they haz problems - not so much. They either know and can't do anything about it, in which case, they're frustrated; or they don't know, in which case, they're not going to welcome your note, because they can't see it.

You can't fix whatever it is with a thank you note, and it sounds like you already know it would be hard to fix in that position.

Oh, totally--and I SOOOOO got that feeling in the interview. And talked iwth a few of them about it, in the interview. Like "Um, that's really not what [person before you] said about the job, what are you thinkinig it's going to entail?"

But I wouldn't be against working there in some OTHER job, really..and they did sya they're ramping upa nd planning to hire people...

I'm still new on the list, so if this is not of interest... [twas the colors that caught my eye, not the leather accessories], apologies.

we like both. No worries.

Phew. Sent the "thanks-but-no-thanks, I'm looking for something different, maybe in the future you'll have something that'll suit both of us better" email. Wasn't quite sure who-all to send it to, but decided to send to the department head (who is basically the hiring person), and the two project managers (who would be senior-ish, but not really), and the HR person. (I interviewed with NINE PEOPLE there--they gave each person 15 minutes, which was ridiculous, but a couple decided to team up so they got half an hour at least)

I have a sneaking suspicion I have lost weight. I could swear my jeans are looser than they usually are.

This much closer to looking like Jared Padalecki.

what's cool in or near Glasgow (Scotland UK)? Is there anything involving whisky production, because that would be most excellent. My google-fu is failing, but Ima try Glasgow and whisky now.

Or, you know, nearby beautiful Scottish hamlets all peaceful and crap.

No Nora, there are no actual whiskey production places anywhere in Scotland. (eep ... maybe I better eat lunch ... my posts are getting weird ... er)
