Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Morning, Bitches!

And I'm feeling less than enthused about tomorrow's interview. But what if I'm deluded and today's actually sucked? Or what if it actually was good but just not quite good enough, and there's someone else out there who's even more perfect?

I am so feeling you, jacqueline!! I have two more interviews. ONE melted my brain, i don't want two more! (But I do want a job. Um.)

Now I need to write thank you notes to a bunch of people. Argh. I sent a handwritten one to the two important people, but want to email everyone else. Do I need to go super formal, or can it be more brief/informal??

Juliana does look super badass on her bike! Whoot!

And I have to get on another plane in a few hours.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Mine is the fun corner! If only I could stay there.

I have at least made some breakfast and have put some laundry in the wash. Now to rearrange stuff, a la Monty Python. Putting things on top of other things!

Thanks Cashmere! I know I've read all of the respective ages the last time they were posted, but I still have a hard time keeping it in my head. Sorry Owen went walkabout. My brother used to do that a lot. My brother also used to appear conscious and hold a conversation while actually still asleep. Man, the fights he had with my parents...

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

d, she turned 3 in April. She is just a few days older than Owen is.

Yep, her birthday is 4/6.

Owen went walkabout half the night last night and I found him sleeping in the hall outside our bedroom at 6:30 a.m. He's (not surprisingly) still asleep.

One Saturday recently I woke up to discover Annabel had awakened in the night and made it as far as our doorway before falling asleep again. I wish we'd taken pictures.

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

Do you get in tomorrow morning just pre-interview, meara, or are you here already? Have any post-interview/pre-flight local plans been made yet?

I whipped out my thank you notes for yesterday's interview last night -- it turns out that if you actually enjoyed the interview and really want the job, thank you notes are easy to do. I therefore anticipate some pain tonight.

I've got no idea at all about what/who's appropriate for email vs. handwritten. Susan? Robin? Others?

I fly out in a few hours, JZ! As of yet I have no plans, but I figure I don't get in until dinnertime, so I may just sack out at the hotel tonight and study for the interview.

I expect tomorrow night, however, I will need a beer.

Punishingly Intricate

It's a weird and wacky situation, and it makes me want to cry and throw things.

ugh I'm so sorry, Karl. I hope something great (that won't eat your brain) comes along very soon!

Does anybody know what I should wear on Sunday (aka my birthday that i'm spending at a rollerderby bout where I will see my new super-intense crush, for the first time since crush started. Oh and his girlfriend? What is the right outfit for that???)

I've never been there, actually. I just resent so much that it's called "Cupcake" and does not sell, you know, cupcakes!!! But maybe I'll take a walk over today.

Compassionately intolerant

Go you Cashmere with the speed demoning! Congrats on your 15:36 mile.

My hambugered feet from last Saturday's debacle screamed and wailed when I put my sneaks on for the first time this morning. For the 10 miler on Saturday, it's going to be duct tape and moleskin for me babee. I'm going to learn to be a taping machine between now and then.
