Oh, Aims. All kinds of ~ma for Joe's mom, and for you both.
Why does anyone need more than one dining room?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.

Well, you're certainly not going to let *those* people eat in the good dining room.

Toddson, no worries. I meant THE Elvis- at least to me. I just love his sarcastic, goofy-looking, rubber ankled, lyrical genius self.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The recruiter just called back -- they do want someone else, but they still don't want me; they strongly feel I wouldn't be a good match. I feel just sort of wretched and tainted and more and more like I'm going to end up exactly where I didn't want to be a few months ago, trapped into taking the high-paying data-manipulation-in-a-cave job on campus that I don't want but can't afford to not take, and there goes the next twenty years. Thank God there's no gin in the house.

JZ, I'm sorry they don't want you, but if they're saying you're not a good match then they know something (about themselves/the workplace) that you don't -- and probably don't want to find out. I don't think you should feel wretched, because it's about them, not you!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Aw, {{{{JZ}}}} I'm sorry, hon.

Oh, JZ. I'm sorry, babe. I'll keep vibing that the right job comes along, because I hate the idea of you taking a cave-job you'll hate.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

The status is NOT quo.
they do want someone else, but they still don't want me; they strongly feel I wouldn't be a good match.WTF?!? Are they smoking crack? Who wouldn't want you to work for them? {{{{{JZ}}}}
So I just got an email from my dad. Looks like he's going to be coming to SoCal with the Red Cross (he's a consistent volunteer--spent a few weeks in LA after Katrina and has continued to go to other disasters ever since). I don't know where they'll station him yet, but I'm hoping that maybe he could stay with us. It's a long shot, but it will make me feel a little bit better to have him near for at least part of each day.
