Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Gah. Why am I so scared about this interview? I already know everyone. The stakes are just so high.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That's so cool, tommy.

Allyson, just be yourself. I know it's a cliche, but in this case it will only work for you. You're going to nail it and be happily employed there very soon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kennedy and Humphrey wanted to speak at a local firetruck factory, but rules prohibited them speaking there. So they asked around for the name of a "prominent farmer" they could visit, and my dad and gramp's farm came up.
So my dad is in his barn clothes that are pretty messy, and he gets a call, "Is it OK if Kennedy and Humphry and photographers from Life and about 20 reporters show up in 20 minutes to talk to you and take pictures?"
Oh, my mom and dad were dating at the time. The first time my mom's parents saw a picture of my dad was on the front page of their local paper - it was a wire service photo of my dad with gramps and JFK and Humphrey.

Not javachik
I'm loving the morning topic on one of my rare days of reading Natter.
I got up early today (5:45) to come in to work early, but I lay down for a few minutes at 7:15 because my eyes were so tired... then didn't wake up until 9:30, when I should have been turning onto the freeway. Argh.
It takes me, like, 2 to 3 hours to get out the door in the AM. I'm amazed at how fast most people get out the door.
Do most people go to sleep 8 hours before they wake up? So you 6 AM risers, you go to bed at 10?

Because it matter to you so, Allyson. And interviews are scary. At least to me. But it'll be fine and you'll do well and they know and unless they are stupid, they love you. You've got a good shot.
And then you'll bank some vacation up and come visit and see my current source of terror.
(I find it funny, in a you've gotta be fucking kidding me, that my one big nightmare? Ceilings falling in due to water? HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Though not on my tab. BUT FUCKING STILL. I've had nightmares about that scenario long before I even was serious about a house.)
