I mean, isn't that email sort of a job offer in and of itself?
It's sorta' like, "I will announce my candidacy for President tomorrow."

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Mr. flea!! I think usually it's not that explicit -- for this job, the exec asst set up the call with the CEO with me, which, why else would she need to talk to me, but the asst didn't say, "She wants to offer you a job."
It's sorta' like, "I will announce my candidacy for President tomorrow."
Or, "We're getting engaged in six months."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wouldn't vote for him...
To quote HR lady's email: "I'm pleased to be contacting you to arrange a time to discuss the offer of a post-doctoral position ..."

Well, theoretically they could only discuss it, so maybe it's not an official offer yet....
ION, I don't know what this says Megapost #12 y 2 Años de VdeVaca so I shall describe it as "The Princess with Three Hands." (cover picture of a romance novel, apparently)

Oh, juliana. I'm not sure that even Geeway's pants lacking structural integrity is enough to cheer me up.

Is the job in Singapore, flea? (or whatever cool Asian country he had a lead in )

Nope, that one is still in play. This is Athens GA. Which is, let's face it, a leeetle bit more realistic.

OK, here's a question: Why does the U2 song go, "Early morning, April 4"? Wasn't it at night?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
From U2FAQs.com:
5. Why does Bono sing 'Early morning, April Four' in "Pride", when MLK was shot in the early evening?
Bono says he screwed up. He sometimes sings 'Early evening, April 4.' The song's origins came during the War Tour in a sound check in Hawaii. The original lyrics were anti-Reagan with 'What more in the name of love' also being a featured lyric according to The Edge. The song evolved into one about martyrs and those who create them. [GM]
