This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Have scheduled interview for Thursday afternoon. Will make up some reason to leave early.

What should I do to prepare?!

Happy Birthday, CaBil!

I used to sleepwalk, but it was apparently to do completely ordinary things like go to the bathroom or come sit in the den and "watch" TV for a bit with my dad. No weird dreams or speaking, and if my parents told me to go back to bed I would.

My 5 year old had a sleepwalking episode about a week ago. He wandered over to the bathroom, wandered around the hallway and then peed on the floor. It was the only time he's done something like that.

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

Maybe you need to clean his litterbox?

Which is what I was thinking, because I read very quickly and didn't realize "5 year old" referred to a child.

Once you're all done giggling, and once I'm done giggling, serious answers would be good.

...no, still giggling.

Okay, did the guy give you any hints when you talked on the phone? Does the position sound like something you're fairly current on? Do you need to research software or anything?

Do you have an answer prepared for "Why do you want to leave your current job?"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yeah. That was a set up if I've ever read one.

I have only rarely talked in my sleep, and usually just before waking up. Mr. Jane, however, will carry on conversations-even disagreeing with me. He's also hit me twice in his sleep, thinking someone was chasing him.

What should I do to prepare?!

I'm with Dana and the snickering. Also, another good one thing to prepare are questions about the position they have open.
