Buffistas

Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

I have spent the last three hours dealing with university bureaucratic hell

To wit: I sent an email with my resume a few weeks ago. The director called to set up a phone interview. Had the hour-long phone interview this morning, and he offered me the job at the end of the call. Whee! I took a shower, had some cereal and got dressed, intending to head over to Panera for coffee and grading.

Then I got a voicemail and an email from the director asking if I had "formally applied" through JHUJobs (the university's online job bank). Um, no. Didn't know that even existed. I had to spend the next hour filling out boxes on their stupid online form that essentially replicated what was already on my resume but that asked me to find all kinds of obscure information (my supervisor's name/phone number from an internship in 1997? Really?).

The best part was at the end of the ap when they asked if I would also like to attach my resume. ARGH.

So I sent off the application and emailed the director back. His reply?

Kristin, Thanks. Now I can tell Human Resources to hire you.

Seriously. This bureaucracy has got to stop.

I bet she (the woman from Tom's link) has called MM's place ... at least once. Possibly several times, just to make sure ....

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I just emailed the instructor of a Japanese swordsmanship class at my local community college this summer to ask if I need to get in better shape before starting the class, and if not, is it a problem that I'll have to miss one week because I'll be out of town.

t gulp Unless he says, "Go away, you flabby person who can't be there eight out of eight weeks," I'm actually going to do this. I'm askeert of looking all clumsy and flabby and stupid, but...swords! Which might give me the motivation to actually exercise more, because...SWORDS!
