So they want programers, not sound engineers? That doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, they are lumping sound under programming, and you don't even really want a sound engineer, you really do want a designer. Many sound designers kinda suck at the technical end of things, but if they are brilliant artists, then they are what you want.

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

Yeah but they're TOTALLY WRONG. C'mon now, you taught Jane Austen to your husband. You're qualified to speak about the early development of the novel.

Well, thank you, and yeah, I've taught courses on the development of the novel. Sigh. I miss teaching literature sometimes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and I do not have words for how negative a psychological reaction I'm having.

Oof. Your brain is problematic.

Oh shit ita, that's no good. Is there any way you can shield yourself from your own reactions? I don't know what exactly, a warm bath, quiet dark room maybe?

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

I am not sure how best to hide from myself.

Maybe a phone call to somebody?

I wish you had some Legos right now. Building a Legos set can be very distracting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Coloring books can be soothing as well. There's something primal and happy and waxy and gripping about it.

Coloring books can be soothing as well.

My college housemates and I had a stack of coloring books that we'd get out when we were fighting with each other and needed to have some sort of discussion. We'd color away while we said our piece, and listened to the rest. We're all still friends, so it seems to have worked out.
