Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now we know why they bounce.

Does the position sound like something you're fairly current on? Do you need to research software or anything?

From what he mentioned on the phone, it's very similar to the work I used to do for my old job. Some software research might be warranted, though.

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

We already discussed that a bit. Unstable industry! Not challenging enough!

Also, another good one thing to prepare are questions about the position they have open.

That is a good idea. And I need to stop making porn jokes in my head so I can think of some.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The revirginization thing strikes me as nonsense, although I do know that cosmetic labial surgery is a thing in this country. Because... getting naked with somebody doesn't mean the intimacy of funnylooking privates? I mean, if you are going to be funnylooking any place on your body, your privates is the best place for it! They're privates!

Indeed, Marina’s second “wedding” night was a rather painful experience for her. On the contrary, her boyfriend enjoyed every minute if it.

What kind of sick fuck enjoys that? And how best may we identify them, so as to warn all our friends?

Good luck with that. For sure none of us are succeeding!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Who here got spanked by their parents?

Never. When i did something wrong they would sit me down between them and take turns talking at me endlessly about how it was wrong and why. I remember begging my mother to please just spank me and get it over with, which just prolonged the lecture by adding another 45 minutes of why physical violence is never the best way to solve anything.

In retrospect i have to admire that kind of stamina. Who has that sort of time?

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to make it through the interview, honestly.

I think I'm going to need you all to make porn jokes here in my honor for two hours this Thursday.

If anyone can do it, Shrift, its us.

I mean, if you are going to be funnylooking any place on your body, your privates is the best place for it! They're privates!

But maybe your privates wants to be corporals?

I'm sorry, I really don't know why my mind went that way.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We're proud to take up that challenge, shrift.

This has been a rotten day. A thing that I expected to take 20 minutes took five freakin' hours because everything possible was wrong, and as a result I am five hours behinder than I was behind before.

Not to mention, but I will, the one person here who is completely clueless about her computer - she knows the steps to take to do what she needs to do, she does not understand why they work and thus cannot extrapolate - is even more lost now with the new system, and it seems I'm the only one who has the patience to help her. Helping her is not easy, because when told anything she doesn't immediately understand (like, "highlight that word and copy it"), she begins to whine loudly (no, really, whine, like, oooohhnnnOOOOoooo!) I have a headache and 30 papers to complete by Wednesday morning. This is not happening.

Okay, I'm done. Off to the gym.
