The job would require a fair bit of driving, and apparently normally the background check signature allows the DMV to release that, but WA State won't, and requires the person whose driving record it is go to the DMV. RIDICULOUS.
And we live to fight another day.

Even better. I just checked the WA State website. They can TOTALLY request it on their own, if I sign a form. He just doesn't want to wait, I think. It's a mail in request, and i can get it quicker if I go in person. Except that requires me to GO TO THE DMV, and I avoid that at all costs. Fucker.
I just emailed him and pointed him to the website and copied the relevant "prospective employer" section. And pointed out that since the phone interview is tomorrow, and I would still need an in-person interview, surely that would take some time.
GRRRRR.

Hey, speaking of earworms...
NPR is doing a story on them. "The songs you can't get out of your head" blah blah blah. And they're referencing the term "earworm" in the title of the piece.
...
Didn't we (meaning Buffistas) originate the term? I seem to recall watching it evolve long ago amongst this group. There was a "Wrath of Khan" reference...?
If so...we are made of Culturally Significant Awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, no, I don't think we can claim credit for this one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's derived from German (and not by us): [link]

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
it's so unsettling to realize how little we really know about the people we work with.
I was just having this conversation with someone recently. It is quite scary how little we tend to know about the people we work with.
Ahhhhhhhh, the earworm. Make it stop!

Huh.

Just me then. Carry on, nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.
