Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well, I'm leaving on Wednesday. Not ideal timing for getting friends to help!

I feel Emily's pain. Sadly, I am on the opposite side of the country from her, but I am moving on Tuesday. (Not to Virginia.) I feel that I deserve an infinite time-expanding device, as well as some steroids.

Not to mix two conversations excessively.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, since this company has dicked me around, and since I'm now having a job interview in a Starbucks by the airport, can I wear dress pants instead of a skirt?

I'd say so. Man, that might make me leery.

Pants should be fine, Dana.

It is a nice Starbucks. Ironically, I've had a job interview there before.

I suspect the reason is because the person interviewing me is out at a client site, and many of those big companies are located out by the airport.

But I still really want to wear pants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wear pants.

I know what's wrong with my toner question. I don't use toner. It's two cleansers, one soap, one dabbed with a cotton ball. Mask between those two, or after?

Pants are fine. Also, dude, you have to do interviews at Starbucks? That just shouldn't be allowed unless you're applying to Starbucks, man.

And I just had a call with another recruiter, whose accent was so thick I could barely understand him. I hate that. It always makes me feel like an idiot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The status is NOT quo.

Happy Birthday, Kat. May this year bring unexpected joys and new hope.
