[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.
Apparently interview went well enough--they sounded kinda skeptical on the phone, but have said they'll interview me in person (along with other cantidates) probably in a week or so (here in Seattle). So, yay!
t ETA: CRAP. I just remembered that my interview suit was bought when I weighed 20 pounds less than I do now. Can I lose 20 pounds in a week? Um, no.
OK, travel poll time:
How many people leave a cash tip in their hotel room for the housekeepers?Yes.
How many people wear some form of stilletto or heels over 2.5 inches when flying? Or boots?Hell no. I don't wear heels ever. I usually wear flats (DUH!).
How many people buy a box of candy to take back to their office mates?Sometimes, but usually only when I'm going someplace special.
How many people get cravings for a food or drink only when they travel? (Like, ordering tomato juice or bloody mary mix on the plane, when you normally don't drink it)I am a tomato juice drinker on planes, too. I had no idea that was a "thing."
Jo update: She is very weak, but she has eaten twice and had some water. She seems really tired (prob hard to sleep at the vet and she was there for 3 nights). Poor Malkins!
I can't stand Ethiopian (texture issues), but my friends love Dukem Ethiopian Market on U Street. Oh, and take her to Bistrot du Coin (where we went with Suzi). Great atmosphere, and you can eat cheaply.
Neat! I'm on it.
Christ, the co-worker who died was younger than my fucking parents. 45! And I don't even know what it was. It sounds like he was sick, but I had no idea.
Do you then leave a note, or how do they know it is money for them and not money you left out?
See, this is something I've come across enough (leaving money out, finding it there when I return in the evening) that I've just defaulted to leaving it at the end.
Raq, how terrifying! I mean, I’m glad you know how to drive manual now, but no one should have to learn under those circumstances!
Oh, Kristin! How frustrating. I hope you have a new card soon!
Answers to Raq’s questions:
1) It depends (terrible answer, I know)
2) Hell no. Easy on and easy off. Usually my Danksos unless I’m traveling to the tropics…then it’s flipflops. And I know you didn’t ask about this, but I also have a pair of nice knit khaki pants that I pretty much only wear when I fly. They are so comfy and have pockets and actually look pretty nice. I’m all about the comfort when I fly.
3) Um, no. You’re supposed to do that?
4) Yes. Gingerale.
Kristin! Take care of yourself, girl.
Work was interesting tonight. But instead of bitching, I will share the very special picture one of my kids made for me: [link]
1) Like so many of us, I try to remember and feel terrible when I forget.
2) Doc Martens.
3) I rarely bring my office mates anything
4) I almost always have bloody marys on the plane but I will sometimes order them other places, like a sports bar on Sunday.

Younger than me too.
Older than me, but still young.

And, seriously, if I leave money out and it's gone when I come back, I'm probably not going to be happy. And I'm guessing most hotel staff are super careful about that kind of thing anyway. Not a situation where you want to assume, you know?
