Oh, meara!
Lots of wishes for good luck and the best possible outcome of all this. Oof.

OMG, meara--what the fuck?!? At least you have some notice this time around, but best of luck with job hunting again!
IBeatleN, apparently, Paul McCartney is driving Route 66.
Then a murmur rippled through the museum. There was a Beatle in the house. The woman giving the looming demonstration asked, "Is that George Harrison?"
"I thought, 'Is there a gas leak in here?' " Biesen said when I phoned. What was wrong with everybody? A Beatle wouldn't be here, in Joliet, without fanfare or protection, in an old green Ford "pre-SUV," not to mention George Harrison is dead.
But then Biesen walked into the gift shop. And that guy looked up and said in that unmistakable English voice, "Well, hello."
"And it was Paul McCartney," she said. "I froze. It was like seeing Bigfoot."
Biesen didn't know then that a guy who looked like this one was spotted at a Springfield Circle K last weekend too. All she knew was that she felt she'd found a lost member of the family.
"The Beatles have been in our psyche forever," she said. "And when you're standing in front of someone who has been a part of your life forever, it's an overwhelming feeling. Warm. Like, 'Finally. Finally, I get to meet you.' "
She wanted to make the moment perfect.
"I really just wanted to be polite," she said.
"No. I really just wanted to lick him and say, 'I love you.' "

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh meara, I am so sorry.

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
"I really just wanted to be polite," she said.
"No. I really just wanted to lick him and say, 'I love you.' "
Pretty normal reaction, IMHO.

I seriously start to feel like thinking the other day "Oh, I should really change my tagline, that's just silly to keep it like that" was a BAD IDEA.
