He says, "YOU???"

I'm sure that he didn't mean it in a "you couldn't do it" way, more like a "why the hell would someone as cool as you want to do that" way.

OH!!!

The same "YOU??" I get when I tell people I'm an accountant!!!

Ok. Now I get it!

I used to get that same "YOU?" when I told people (our customers!) that I was the director of research for our company.

My boss told me it was because I didn't look like a researcher geek. And then he added, "If they got to know you, they'd see it fits."

In other words, I don't look like a geek, but I sure act like one.

Clearly too cool to be an accountant.

I should've done the interview prep reading this weekend...just got a call from my recruiter and am getting a call from someone in half an hour. It's the HR person, not the actual manager for the position, but....eep?

In local news, it's 95 here, and officially Too Damn Hot. Where's my Donald O'Connor and Marilyn to sing it to me?

Wrong thread.

Should I make a tomato salad with cheese or a cheese salad with tomatoes?

am I a bad person? My Aunt was slated to visit starting Thursday. My house is a wreck. My head is a wreck. I wasn't really looking forward to hosting (even tho she was getting a hotel). As my fathers side of the family goes away on vaca with no clue of what they want to do while there, and leaves to the locals to find "something interesting" for them to do.

I got a note that hotel availability in my area was so small that the prices were too high, and that she's going to cancel the visit. I did a small happy dance. I'm such a bad nephew!!! :: head->desk ::

ION, lovely So Cal Edison decided it would be a good idea to turn off my power for just a minute to upgrade my meter during a "snooze" section of my morning. So my alarm never came back on. o ya, makes for a lovely morning. ::head->desk (again...harder)::

Oh god, I have a new timesuck on the interwebs: [link]

It's a social networking site based around people posting photos of their outfits. They have a section for gothic. They have a section for steampunk.

Jilli, what is steampunk clothing? I'm only just barely beginning to understand the concept of steampunk and cyberpunk in terms of literature.
