Like all teasing some funny, some not so much, but I don't mind if it's meant affectionately.

I suspect the difference is that you like your co-workers.

Huh. I'm bored and looking up stuff to do near the college that wants to interview me. Why did I never know that there are a zillion places to get vegan food in Columbus, Ohio? I found a list of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants there, and it's at least as good as DC, if not better. I must revise my notion of midwestern food.

Oh Kristin, I know that situation too well.

Did I tell you that I got "fan mail" from some guy who I passed on the street? He was one of those survey takers/people with clipboards who's job it is to stop passersby? I was walking by, he shouted "I know you!" I smiled at him and kept walking. He said "No, really. You're the Gothic Charm School lady from YouTube!" I smiled, waved, and kept walking, because I had Stuff To Do.

That night, I got cranky email from him, informing me that he was no longer a fan of mine because I was horribly rude to him and slighted him by not stopping to talk.

Thanks, gang!

I interviewed with a total of 6 people in a bit over 4 hours. I thought it went extremely well and I'm really hopeful. I like the company, as far as I know they are as financially sound as anybody these days, it's doing exactly the sort of work I had hoped for when we moved out here and it's a place that seems to like to hire internally and I'm certain there will be growth opportunities. If there are negatives, I haven't clued in yet as to what they might be. Looks like I might have to get used to riding the bus B^) More time to play on my DS I guess.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Misguided- you and Barb are my role models for up and moving to the other side of the country!

In that vein, Tom was called by one of the NO companies he's applied for and will have a phone interview next Thursday! So exciting!

Man, I am SO abusing exclamation points these days.

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Sounds good! Vibing for Misguided and Tom. May you have positive results soon.

Don't push yourself, Connie. Take it easy for a time.

Mind boggling, Hil.

EEEEEEE!!! I'll join you in abusing the exclamation points, Nora! That's excellent news for Tom! Vibing hard.

Hee, I wonder if La Bodega has wifi, cause I could totes take my laptop and Skype people!

Hmm. That might actually be kinda fun...Geeky, but fun. I don't know how practical it would be, though. Hmm. Maybe, especially since Dan won't be able to have many people there, we could also Skype his son. That would make him feel included.

Will have to consider pros and cons.

Skyping your Dan's son sounds like a great thing to do, Erin.

Good to hear from you, Connie. Keep getting better.

Ok, so I got a nice little old judge to marry us next Friday at 3pm. My mom, dad, sister and 3 friends will be there, and then we will go to a nice tapas bar and have sangria and tasty things, and a few close friends can stop by after work.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee
