it was a great night.
Baptism and all?
Susan, that's very cool move on your bosses' part.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Go, JZ!
crossing fingers for jz's essential awesomeness to be instantly recognized by interviewers
Go JZ! Go JZ! I am certain the interview will go splendidly.
Susan - that is really wonderful.
JZ - go you!
I'm having difficulties making good decisions about buying things now that we've got our little bonus. Part of me wants to SPEND IT ALL!! And then the other part of me is very, very worried about SPENDING it all. Mostly because I have so many things that I want and so many things that I need and I can't do all of either.
Southern California has RATS in TREES?
Yep.
Now you understand my fear of walking around the backyard after dark, doncha?
Thanks for the ~ma, but I feel like puking, my face badly wants to break out and my pits are stinky. At this point all I'm aiming for is the ability to speak in complete sentences.
Now you understand my fear of walking around the backyard after dark, doncha?
Uh, YEAH.
Seriously. People need to warn you of these things. All our NYC rats are in places like piles of garbage and subway tracks. They might run out and scare you, but there is no death from above.
OMG, I'm never going to California AGAIN without a giant hat. With a big brim. Made of something sturdy... like tinfoil.
I've lived in SoCal for 21 years (good Lord I'm old) and I've never seen a rat in a tree. Thank God.
You'll do great, JZ. Remember that no job interview can be as bad as a rat leaping on you from a tree.
The rats I fought for so long in this house were roof rats. Good old i Rattus rattus, the rats that brought us the Plague. They end up in attics so often because they jump onto roofs looking for food and then spot a gap they can crawl through. My exterminator, The Happy Trapper, contends that most of the time people think they have squirrels in their attics, they really have roof rats.
I hate them.
