I had no idea that jumping over yawning gaps was such a thing! Who knew?

Morpheus!

I just feel like I was very, "Um, uh, well, let's see, uh," and didn't have good answers, and all. Dammit. Oh well. At least that's my important thing for the day done. Now to think about packing. Eyuck.

Ugh, emily--I hear ya. I'm worried I'll be like that on Wednesday--it's my first interview in almost four years, so I really wish it would be at a company I DON"T want ot work for, jsut to get the nerves out. Ah well.

meara! Thanks again for the wacky-fun Buffy sing along (J would be pleased) ticket procurement. I really enjoyed spending time with the three of you...plus...you and J can sing!

Much luck with the interview. If you want to practice...just the get the nerves out, give me a call.

In falling news, a dorm mate at university fell off a four story building while massively drunk. Bounced, according to witnesses, and lay asleep on the ground until the folks who thought he might be dead tried to carry him way. Not a scratch.

Alternately, during a spate of 'pennying' (making a door almost impossible to open by jamming a penny between the door and the frame) another dorm mate jumped into a dumpster, broke her arm and got some weird rash.

When it was me, I just went all Hulk!smash and yanked the door off the hinges. Had a tough time explaining that to the repair crew...

What city, meara?

Tons of postdated interview~ma to you, Emily. And what are the dimensions of the dresser? How many drawers? And can you spare time from packing to come over and hang out tomorrow or next Monday or Tuesday before you leave? Please?

Emily, a lot may ride on how much savoire faire you exhibited in handling the cat attack, since it would bode well for your classroom discipline! I once chose a roommate because she handled her boyfriend's sudden food-poisoning attack -- in the middle of the interview -- so gracefully, and she turned out to be a very good roommate indeed.

OMG, best news ever: this horrible no-good case I'm on is stayed for the indefinite future -- definitely long enough for me to say bye-bye to this firm and the evil partner I work for. On the phone just now with another associate:

Sr. associate: I'm so happy this case is stayed. I thought it would kill us.
Me: I'm pretty sure it would have happened by murder-suicide.

Oh, the interview Wednesday is here--in a great location, actually (downtown Bethesda--tons of shops and restaurants, right by the metro, not as far out as my current/past job, which is itself closer in than most of the local ones).

But I talked ot my recruiter this morning to try to get him to hurry up. Other coworker who was working with him just interviewed in a few places in Colorado and really liked them, but I think we're looking at Seattle and San Fran for me, right now. Chicago adn Boston if those don't work. The local stuff I'm doing on my own, basically, because I know most of the companies, know people at some of them, etc.

Oh, man! I remember that crap. I caught someone trying to do it to my door freshman year, and let me just say that no one ever tried it again, as if my towering fury left a visible Do Not Attempt scorch mark wherever I moved on campus.
