Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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?

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 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.

True, true, Jesse.

Of course, this job is in Seattle, so we'll see. In any case, the first step would be a phone interview.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, and some crazy chick is demanding pictures, too.

pfft.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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

Better than Def Leppard's "Armageddon It"

....

I hate you all, and will now spork out my eardrums in an attempt to drown out the competing earworms.

I'd be taking out ads in Variety yelling "So there!" in 50-point type.

starts PayPal fund to do just that

I took the El home. It did not catch fire or derail. There were firefighters on my block as I walked home, but I swear that had nothing to do with me, seriously.

Oh my god, I'm a walking destructo ray today.

'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"

One thing that the job search people suggested is that you can provide a point-by-point comparison of your experience and the requested skill set -- you can even make it up as a table. Note that a good cover letter shows off your verbal skills and selling ability, too.

I'm home, eating dinner. I've given the keys to my neighbor, have laid out a selection of clothes to pack and have a pile of electronics and their chargers sitting next to me. It's going to be weird carrying a purse with all this crap in it. Usually, I just have books and the cdplayer and batteries. This time, I have no need for AAs.

After dinner, I'll do my nails and maybe finish up the packing. Tomorrow is trash and vacuums and leaving.
