Like what? All I've seen this morning were about a million rickrolls.

I haven't been rickrolled at all!

I am probably just being massively oversensitive, so I'm not going to point fingers.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Completely randomly, just a note for future F2F events: I'm fairly certain that some year we will need a meara vs. Hil cupcake bake-off.

Vibing job-vibes at Kat and Vortex and Aimée. My own situation is starting to look mildly less grim: Having heard nothing back from Job A in over a week, I went ahead and interviewed for less-desirable but more-available Job B yesterday (insert here long-winded Brian Krakow metaphor about wallpaper here); came home to an email from Job A Woman asking me to call her at my earliest convenience.

Called her; she said that for reasons having nothing to do with me they're hiring someone else for Job A, but that I'm a great candidate and they don't want to lose me, so she wants to bring me in later this week to interview for Jobs C and D, which haven't even been officially posted on the HR website yet. So now I have one interview scheduled for early Thursday evening and I'm waiting to hear about the other. If my unemployment check would just finally come through, I might even start to breathe again.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I promised the kids I'd help them make cookies today. THey want sugar cookies, so I better go make the dough now so it has time to chill.

My boss just emailed me asking if I could make a budget meeting scheduled at 4pm on 3/28.

I replied, "Yes, if you have invented the time machine that will let us travel back to last Thursday."

It's a good thing she likes me. (She was away for a week and just got back.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH just gave me the final say in whether we buy that Tivo deal. I'm eager to dump the new cable company's DVR but am worried about getting it all hooked up with our current system. I suppose those technical issues are probably pretty small.

Go JZ! The right job for you is coming soon.

I was just bad and ordered a pair of sandals and a bathing suit (on clearance!) online. I was suckered in by $3 Lands End shipping. But I only own 1 pair of sandals and I needed a new swimming suit, so it's okay, right? (I hope it fits.)

flea, I just got some Clark sandals from Zappos. Man, they have FAST delivery! I'm trying not to get sucked into LE for the kids' summer clothes.

ACK! It's nearly time for the preschool run.
