Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay Hil! on the interview!

Yay for the interview, Hil!

You know, reading this thread is a constant reminder to how different is the work culture in the U.S. than here. Thank you notes for interviews sounds like outer-space fiction to me.

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?

Interesting...not doing them sounds like fiction to me. After an interview, do you do any sort of follow-up?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Hardly at all. Mostly, they'll call you if you got the job. If not, they won't.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Nora, you have my phone number still? And can you call me or send me yours? What time does your flight get in?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds great, Hil. I'm glad you did better on the interview. Even if you don't move on, you'll have a little more confidence going forward. But hopefully you will move on! Because you're awesome and academia needs you!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Our play is in the Chronicle!

Holy crap, it's on the cover of the 96 Hours section. I need to go buy a copy. Where do people buy newspapers in this day and age?
