We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So, I can ask her what they will want to hear?

Sure! It's in her interest for you to do as well as possible in the interview, so if she has prior experience with the company she may have valuable info about their culture, etc.

This is all going on what I've heard my BF say... do you want me to call and confirm with him?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nah, but thanks -- I met her in person last week, so I think we have a good rapport. I just don't want to do anything obviously wrong!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

that's the deal with headhunters -- they want everyone to look as good as they can, but the best ones will try and find a good fit. They want both the co and you to work with them again.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

ION, I am going to tattoo "Set nocount on" on my forehead. And then put a mirror on my desk to I can read it while working. I'd have to have the text backwards so I could read it in a mirror, like "Ambulance" on the front of an ambulance.

Have you tried a post-it note?

Yeah, what beth said. I know KBD got commissions on his placements, and I would assume that's common practice.

OMG, I am watching a CBC holiday special. Scott Thompson is one of the guests and he is killing me! He's talking about being on exchnage and eating dog for Xmas. I'm sure it's probably a you have to be there moment.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay! Just submitted grades for the semester. I am done.

Yay!!!!

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

The headhunters I dealt with all treated me like I'd never been on an interview before, and they all overprepared me, but I would definitely prefer that to the alternative. I certainly didn't have any questions left over to ask them about the interview.

They did expect me to memorise every little nuance about the interview to report back to them, which I sucked at.

Just got complimented again by the boss. Apparently feedback on me from the user team I work with continues to be positive. No merit increases or bonuses for me, but it all helps with the chances of me getting picked up when my contract expires, so it's good stuff.

They are doing carols again in the nearby conference room. Seems they might be rehearsing in there until Wednesday. Oyveh.

<3 Scott Thompson. More than Eric Bana, even.
