Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Damn you. Now I'm earwormed with "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing." Even the end of the world hates me.

Hmmm.

Recruiter told me to go ahead and apply for jobs at two of the companies I've been looking at on my own, because he was getting nowhere with them, and they had jobs posted. But one of them, the more I look at it, the more I'm worried they won't consider me for it (I have the years and the experience, but not the titles you'd expect leading up to this one). Grrr. And it's the company I really want. Wish there was a way to apply and say "dudes! if you dont' want me for this job, I'm really OK with a lower title, you shoudl just hire me anyway!!"

Great. Now I'm going to kill you. Replace a power ballad with a heavy metal anthem and you still get the earworm from hell. You are so in for it....

meara, maybe you could work that into your cover letter, or if you manage to get someone from HR on the phone?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Theoretically I have plans tomorrow night with people including my friend who just got back from a year in Israel, but no one seems to be motivating to actually, you know, MAKE THE PLANS.

So far this weekend, I've gone to the movies and bought an odd assortment of groceries that I think looked like what I would buy were I a pregnant vegetarian. Heavy on the dairy.

Relatedly, what gap is this photo referring to?

Yeah, seriously. Seriously?!?

My brilliant idea of the day....wait for it.....Office Space: The Musical!!

That IS brilliant! Did I mention here when I mentioned Office Space in a meeting with four other people, and not one of them had ever seen it? What the fuck is up with that? Granted, they were all a generation older than me, but still. I would have expected at least one of them to know it.

Who wants onboard as a producer so I can quit my day job and start putting this together?

You know, I invested in a play once before, and that didn't work out. OK, it was $100, and some of the people now have a show in the Fringe Festival here, but still. I've been burned before!

Holy crap. Someone was just found mauled to death on the lawn of Ving Rhames' house. They've taken his four mastiffs into custody.

Jesus. That's not cool.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

meara, apply anyway. Just make sure you explain what you did in previous jobs that give you the experience for this one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I hate sending mass emails on a summer Friday. I always get 20 out of office replies and I DON'T CARE PEOPLE.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Who's number one in Computers and Internet???

Okay, I swear. I'll stop obsessing now.
