The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Nora said--focus on wanting to follow up, and still be interested in the job, discussing it more, etc.

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

I concur with the idea of finding out if there's any more information you can provide for them to help them reach a decision.

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

We visited our friends Lisa and Michael this weekend. JZ's known Lisa since high school, and Lisa lived in L.A. for years working with a small theater company.

Anyway, Lisa has friends down there still in the movie biz and one of them was temping at a plastic surgeon's office. She related a fabulously decadent tale of Courtney Love receiving her regular "Sculptene" injections (apparently something like cheekbones-in-a-syringe), replete with designer pill cocktails, blinged out gangsta dealers in the waiting room, outfit changes between the car and the parking lot and Courtney's doped up, erratic behavior which was fully cosseted by Assistants 1 and 2.

Also, Jessica Alba apparently receives a monthly $7,000 full body "skin tightening" (?) treatment. Something with frickin' lasers.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Okay. E-mail sent off. I did not say "please call me because I want to keep working at home, not go work for stupid engineers."

That was politic of you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so, funny story...

I hadn't mailed in my taxes yet - tax guy emails me, says send them overnight. I go to fedex and realize I only have a PO Box for him, so I drop him an email, but then also try google thinking I can find it there. Turns out, my tax guy, arraigned on tax evasion and grand larcery charges last Oct.

I am trying to find out now what happened if there was a court date. really glad I did not mail those off yet.

So, hivemind - what online tax programs do you like?

Now tagless for your comfort.

We like Turbo Tax, msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I use TaxCut, but haven't actually looked at anything else.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I use TaxCut, but haven't actually looked at anything else.

This is me.

I'm not sure if my taxes were more complicated this year or if they've changed some of the language around, but I found it more difficult to navigate this year than last.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, msbelle, craziness! I've used both TurboTax and TaxCut (the online versions of each) and like TsxCut better. When my taxes got slightly complicated, TaxCut handled the weird stuff better and I had an easier time figuring out what was going on where TurboTax took the same information and gave me a different outcome and I couldn't figure out why. So, short version, I like TaxCut.

Though I haven't even looked at it for this year. I should really do that.
