Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

my sister is in biotech -- 1st interview - -8 hour day 5 or 6 people.
My version of HELL.
Actually, now that I think about it, interviews have always been so scary for me because a) I never had any experience (too many career changes) and b) I desperately wanted to please. Teaching may have taken the edge off both of those. Yay teaching!

my sister is in biotech -- 1st interview - -8 hour day 5 or 6 people.
I had one of these for a position where I'd have been supporting a group of neurosurgeons. And it was down to me and one other candidate and I didn't get the job and the hiring person just left an answering machine message for me (at my friends' house where I was staying) after I had to call him about it. It was over 10 years ago and I'm still pissed about it. FUCK YOU Univ of MD neurosurgeon assholes!
anyway, fuck you also cancer. And good luck vw!
Sorry the interview didn't go well, meara. At least you know that the big boss might be someone you'd have issues with down the road if they did hire you anyway. I mean, who wouldn't like you?! That's insane.
I think that insomnia fairy got my dog last night. He was up for an hour and a half pacing and needing to go out and having accidents inside anyway. And I feel terrible because my boyfriend is here now and his sleep was affected too. although he was a total sweetheart about it. anyway, getting old sucks. the dog I mean. Although I'm feeling all my years pretty hard today too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
FUCK YOU Univ of MD neurosurgeon assholes!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
SO I feel like total Donna Downer lately and wouldn't blame anyone at all if they were to roll their eyes and "Pfft", but I'm a bit freaked out.
Last week, I got a blood draw to check my hormone levels. I think I remember my doctor saying something about checking my thyroid levels too, but I don't know. Anywhoodle, I called them this morning to get the results and my hormones are fine, but my thyroid levels are very low.
In my mind, I know that it's probably just hypothyroidism which would explain the cold and exhaustion, but irrationally, I'm scared as hell. So many things running through my mind.
Buh-lah.

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
Also, is everyone in Hollywood friends with porn stars? I think there's been someone with a porn star friend in every celebrity reality show I've ever seen.
Putting "friends with porn stars" under "special skills" on your realtity show application is probably a smart move.

Lengthy first world problem:
We have a line of credit for remodeling our house that we opened about two years ago. We used some of it to remodel a bathroom last year. We have almost paid that off (we pay way over the minimum payment each month). The bank sent us a letter a few months ago saying they were reviewing all accounts and our account was suspended pending review. We decided that we want to remodel our other bathroom since we'll be here at least another year and it has to be done should we want to sell or rent this place out in the future. So we call the bank to find out the status of our account. Are told that we can use it to do remodeling but we have to provide an invoice of what we plan to do. Call today to say we have the invoice/floor plan. Are told that they will not fund it, even though they have a record of our conversation with the person who said we could if we send an invoice. WTF man? Now we've had this contractor putting in work and travel time to our house for nothing. We have excellent credit, pay more than the minimum on the account each month (balance is pretty low now), and are both employed. Banks are the problem with the economy!!!! Pissed.
