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.
meara, apply anyway. Just make sure you explain what you did in previous jobs that give you the experience for this one.
I hate sending mass emails on a summer Friday. I always get 20 out of office replies and I DON'T CARE PEOPLE.
Who's number one in Computers and Internet???

Okay, I swear. I'll stop obsessing now.
OH! The LI IKEA is in a Mall with a movie theater and it is showing BU! Now if the parents' will take mac to Ratathoweveryouspellit.
meara, maybe you could work that into your cover letter, or if you manage to get someone from HR on the phone?
Yeah, I may try. And I'll try to explain (like ChiKat says) that working at a small company, I have more experience than my title warrants. But not sure how to say "if you don't like me for this, any chance you'd want to create a lower position just for me pretty please?" I don't want to start out with "I'm looking for a Senior (MyJob) position, or a (MyJob) Manager position", and make it sound like I didn't even read their posting...urgh.
Have I mentioned I hate job hunting??
And this shit is the sorta thing the recruiter is SUPPOSED to do, but he said no one there is calling him back. Sigh.
Okay, I swear. I'll stop obsessing now.
Dude, your first book is appearing on various good-selling lists. I'd be taking out ads in Variety yelling "So there!" in 50-point type.

Genius. I will say my parents and I liked Ratatouille, but didn't think kids would be into it, but apparently they are. Who knew?

I think may that's something you'd want to broach only after they tell you they don't think you're senior enough for the job they have? I dunno. I hate job searching, too.
Here's a word of the day some folks here may appreciate:
apatheism n. the attitude of not caring about religion or whether there is a God. [link]
Well, but if they don't think I'm senior enough, they probably won't call me and SAY that. They just won't call, y'know?
Yeah, I kind of thought of that, but then remembered all the times I got called in for an interview only to have them tell me they weren't considering me for the job I had applied for, but a lower one. Of course, that only happened when I was trying to move to New York, so the interview required 8 hours on the bus.
