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

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.

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.

Because books.
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.

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.

Oh JZ, that's just horrid. Still, it means you are available for the Perfect Job, which is just about to cross your path.
Flipping baby!
Oh, and it totally first-world problems, my neighborhood has become a traffic mess because of the World Bank meeting.
Yeah, my DH worked all weekend for this, but has managed to not complain (or get hit with a brick) about the Foggy Bottom walk.
I just got back from an excellent seminar on Virtual Worlds (WoW, Second Life, etc). Holy crap were those folks smart. I haven't been in a room with that kind of brain power since...maybe ever. Certainly college.
