Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Apples and hummus sounds yum!

I had my interview this morning. Three hours! Well, an hour to prepare a presentation based on a scenario. 5 minutes to present. An interview that lasted just over an hour, and then an hour to compose a memo based on another scenario given to me. I am wiped, and I need a drink.

Wow, Sue, that sounds draining.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag, Sue, I'd need a drink, too! How do you think it went?

It was. I especially hate impromptu presentations, so I was shaking by the time the hour of prep was over. And when the presentation was over, I couldn't believe I still had to do an interview after that. I think I did okay, though. Now I have to figure out if the position is a good move for me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

jesse - received - thanks

it seems most people in my office think something is going on with the co-workers I described. It is a m/f situation, both have spouses, but apparently (I hadn't noticed), their last 2 days off coincided. Lots of raised eyebrows today when people realized they were both out. I don't think so. Both are otherwise attached. But how are you gonna behave in such a way that over half the office thinks something is going on.

Yeah, that sounds potentially shady.... I have a coworker here who has been out of the office at the same time as me (one week vacation, one couple of days out), but we're not even friends, so it was just a funny joke that we were somewhere together.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm afraid my Jo is too weak and possibly too old for that (at 13).

Just back from meetings too clustered around the middle of the day.

Jo isn't necessarily too old -- Teddy will be 14 next month. Lack of health problems (obviously, other than kidney disease) is necessary.

Several places do the transplants, including California (which I assume means Berkeley) and N.C. State.

All this hummus talk makes me wonder who is ascending.

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

I feel like descending... into nappy time....

So that's how attacking with hummus works.

Eta: good luck with the figuring out, Sue!
