I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I swear to god.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I can learn about the Freemasons in my lunch hour.

How long did it take before the Illuminati came up?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was TeeVee and not net!learning, so it was linear. No Illuminati. History International falling down on the job?

Okay, like three more hours work and then pain relief. Too silly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo, Allyson!

Boo, Esquire.

Secret handshake to the Freemasons. I've got an active Oddfellow hall down the street from me and I think they may have to be my favorite secret society. Or not secret. Whatever. It's such a fine name, Oddfellows.

here's Esquire's list of 75 Skills Every Man Should Master.

I can't take such a list seriously if it's missing "Walk in 3-inch heels."

(Seriously, it's simultaneously cool and really annoying to have a BF who walks better in heels -- and in *higher* heels -- than I do.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Everything I've seen quoted here from that list sounds like skills women should master.

ION, I just got to call people for interviews, and one of them was Super Excited. She said, "You just made my day!" I kind of wanted to give her the job just for that.

So brown-nosing works?

Hardly any of my applicants really seem like they want this job, so, kind of. They all seem like they want a job, and many of them seem like they would be fine at this job but hardly anyone made a case for this job.

Heh. It occurs to me, everyt ime I've scheduled an interview, there've been children engaging in war in the background.

Admittedly, not many interviews, but still...
