Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Glad to here today was better.
So sorry to get your hopes up, merea. But maybe she'll feel the vibe and know that a Beth should be near you.
Weird day. And I have stuff to do that now I am home

Oh, my goodness. I felt so much better today (mentally and physically) it's not even funny. I didn't really realize how miserable the sleep dep was making me feel until I didn't feel that way any more.
Edit: I'm still feeling a bit more tired than feels "right" for me at this time of night, but I don't feel crushingly tired and kind of insane.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Heh, I was all just explaining LinkedIn to my bf and being all "If nothing else, it makes me FEEL more proactive!" and Gud sends me a link.
Thanks, Gud.
Also? While I KNEW what most all long-time Ffistas do career-wise? Seeing it all laid out on a screen is all "Holy shit! I know some really kick-ass people! GO TEAM SMARTIES!"

Onion tarte is fantastically yum. My friend Tracey married a Frenchman and he would make one for every party.
So. Good.
Plus you can also get one at the Grand Cafe in SF.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now, I've never had an Onion Tart, and it doesn't really sound good to me judging by just the name, but I went and looked at some of the recipes and it sounds kind of like French Onion Soup with the broth removed. Is that anywhere close to right? Because that sounds pretty yum.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The usual thing in math is to apply to about 100 different schools for jobs. In order to simplify this, there's a new electronic application system. The only problem is, only some of the schools are using the system. So, I can't just set up a sort of paper application assembly line like people who applied a few years ago did. I also can't just go through everything electronically like people will be able to do once this system is totally in place. I need to figure out at least two different kinds of applications -- possibly three, since some want everything emailed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to figure out at least two different kinds of applications -- possibly three, since some want everything emailed.
You're lucky in comparison to what I went through and the number of sites that I signed up with and entered my resume on, often manually. There are the big recruiting sites, the small recruiting sites, and an insane number of companies with their own resume submission and signup procedure--and I mean forms where you have to enter your resume in sections, not just upload the Word document.
And do they read them? I don't think so. Or I would have gotten different call backs. The number of development and insurance sales positions I got called back for was much higher than the number of project manager or business analyst positions, despite me only applying for the latter. And leading off my resume and cover letter with those terms.
Job searching sucks. I hope everyone, Hil, Laga, Erin, has an easier time of it than I did.
