See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The interview~ma, it is indeed powerful. I walked into the office and found that my interviewer was (a) a lifelong Bay Area resident who was (b) the mother of a 10-year-old and (c) stepmother to a 20-year-old who had hated her and believed the new baby would ruin his life but who fell in love within 10 seconds of holding the little baby. And who also (d) went to high school with my current boss's two sons and remembers them and their sister fondly (I'm doing this job search with current boss's blessing, so no danger of awkwardness there). It could only have gone better if her husband were a music writer and Tom Waits fan.

So, I have to make some revisions to my resume and send it to her, and then I'm at the top of her list for exec asst positions for local biotech firms.

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

Good news, JZ.

I really wish they would give me my car back. I'm watching Oprah and reading Us. I tried reading O, but damn.

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

YAY JZ

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Congrats, JZ! I'll be ~maing for you.

The status is NOT quo.

Woot! JZ, that's great news!

And lo! The car is returning to me and I'm only $164 poorer. If they've done a halfway decent job with my bumper, I may need to marry someone.

It was just a nice, fun interview. And I was all wrapped in ~ma and wearing a sassy ensemble and it felt effortless and good. So, yay!

When we were talking about kids and stepkids, the interviewer said of her son, "His whole world just fell apart when his big brother went off to college." Which is exactly what Hec and I have been guessing will happen to Matilda when Emmett goes. Poor little snoodle. At least we've got another 7 years to go before that particular sorrow hits.

$164 for a decent bumper repair is totally reasonable (marriage-worthy, I'm less certain, but then I don't know how bad your bumper was to start out with). Ours is presently epoxied in place, and so it will stay because a replacement would cost more than the entire car is worth at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay for a good interview, JZ!

Yay for decent car dealings, ita!

Yay for International Lefthanders Day! I just noticed today that a coworker is a lefty.
