My snap judgment is that Fernet is a steam punk beverage.

I'd interested to hear why you have this conclusion. I think I agree with it....

I took a shot of Fernet and it all cleared up.

See!! It really is fantastic (it just tastes... strong).

purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Fernet.

Am home and have TWO, count them TWO, open bottles of Fernet. Don't ask. Or blame juliana. Or something.

Fernet chased with champagne sounds AWESOME...but using Veuve seems like a waste, really!

I am SO rolling my eyes at the HR guy at the second Seattle company. He was *totally* clueless when he did my preliminary interview. Which, OK, he said he was new to the industry, and it is kinda technical, fine. But he didn't seem to have any idea what he was talking about--this wasn't even just "reading down a list of requirements, have you done them?" kinda thing. It was "So, um, did you work on any drugs? like, things that are pills? or injections?" But OK, you're new to the industry...but sending me an email to set up travel and saying "Does Raleigh have an airport"?? Dude. (A) You have my resume. I'm not in North Carolina. And (B) Raleigh has an airport. It is not especially new, or small. WTF?

(Fernet & champagne **in the same night** is in the List of Things Juliana Is Not Allowed To Drink, along with tequila (on its own self). And something else, but I forget what.)

The forgetting of an alcoholic beverage that you should Never Ever drink again is soooo a v. bad thing.

Why do I keep thinking today is Thursday? And why the hell isn't it? Tomorrow should totally be Friday. Can someone please get to work on making that happen?

Nicole - I am once again trying to negotiate a job in your neck of the woods. I want to stay here but work for them there - with the potential of relocating after next June. I doubt they will go for it, but I'm asking anyway.

We're not mixing, we're sipping the Veuve Cliquot. I think we're done with Fernet for the eveniing.

Why steampunk? The flavor to me tastes antique and complex at the same time. It's a combination of flavors I never would have come up with but I'm finding the meld quite pleasant. STRONG but pleasant.

Tequila is the drink that most of my friends should never drink.

Ooooh! You have no idea how much even the smallest possibility of that happening makes me grin like a total fool.

I doubt they will go for it, but I'm asking anyway.

::fingers crossed::

I killed the thread? With *that*?

See? See why I don't post very often? I killed the thread. I'm too dangerous to the board.

I made it to Cape Canerveral and I am now having yummy Greek food for dinner.

Back to the airline thing I'm with Meara travelling Southwest alone blows goat. At the airports I deal with you have to online check in at least twelve hours early or you are in group B and then you need to camp out at the gate two hours ahead. I also have miserable experiences with their flights being packed tightly together so that there are three planes worth of people waiting at a gate that doesn't have enough seating for one plane worth of people.
