can I vent for a moment? I need to even though it will make no sense to anyone outside my brain probably.
Dearest friend, do not throw a fit when i suggest that the plan for tomorrow night could be you picking me up on the way to pick up friend rather than you coming back to pick me up after you pick up friend as was initially suggested. Depending on how fast i get post-work stuff completed you picking me up first could work. It's not that big of a change and now you've made me feel insensitive for suggesting it!
Intra-Google wars over shrift hireage! There'll be nerf-bat battles in the hallways.
Honestly, from the way they originally had me scheduled at the end of next week, it does seem like they're trying to scoop me up before another department gets to me.

That puts such a huge smile on my face!
Hmmm... if I go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant that has a policy about no doggie bags, yet I try to pocket some food, I wouldn't be too surprised if they called the cops. So I extend the principle to the distribution of Communion wafers.
I have my fingers and toes crossed. And I'm thinking about ritual vegetable sacrifice. And trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to wear.
How much are you paying the church for your communion wafers, Theo?
I'm so jealous of your Google interview, shrift! I hope you get the job. What type of job is it?

Something in the Google Death Ray department?
who is the victim?
I'd been thinking that the church was the victim. It's a fair point as to whether there was a theft and, therefore, a crime. And since it's been 20 years since I studied any criminal law that wasn't white collar, I'll let others argue the point.
As to cheapening the idea of a hate crime, I think of a "hate crime" as (1) a crime where (2) the motive is hatred of a group. Which means, if something is stolen from a Catholic church because it belongs to a Catholic church, the motive could be seen as religious bias.
So, any theft here would be at least arguably a hate crime. Which doesn't mean that a sensible D.A. would necessarily choose to prosecute anything that way.
