Um. So I lied and actually submitted one application today. And they called me 5 minutes later, and now I have an interview.

Except they just sent me this e-mail: "please arrive 10 minutes early to complete some paperwork including an Hourly Employment Agreement, W4 tax forms and an I - 9 which you will need a valid US Passport OR a Drivers License AND Social Security Card."

Um. I've never, EVER had to provide this unless I was being hired.

I am confused. And wary.

Kristin's been talking about I-9 forms over in bitches. I personally have no idea what it is.

Is that from the migraine or the medication? At least it's almost time to go home.

A little of both. And I am not walking in this heat, like I did yesterday. But then, a hot bus will be just as miserable.

I'm not happy with this. They want me in a full suit and to fill out paperwork that I shouldn't have to fill out.

I love Strictly Ballroom, Ouise-- I am an unabashed Baz Luhrmann fangirl and am tapping my foot impatiently for November to arrive so I can go see Australia.

And that version of Time After Time is one of the prettiest interpretations of it, I think.

~ma on the migraine, Sue. I still get them on occasion although nowhere near as bad as I used to before I had kids, oddly enough.

Happy birthday sarameg!

ma~~~ to the lucy dog

I-9 is the form that proves you're legal to work in the US. Usually you provide a passport OR a DL and Soc Sec card.

Shrift, that sounds an awful lot like a temp agency.

Edited cos I know the difference between your and you're.

this.

I'm inquiring as to why I need to fill out the forms, because I thought I was just coming in to meet with a recruiter. I never agreed to work for them.

I was thinking of going more obviously auburn again, but I think that'll wait until after RWA National, because I don't think auburn will look as good with my gown.

That's not shallow, that's SENSIBLE.
