Yes. Some people will check references for multiple candidates, but those people are dicks.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
If the people hiring for a job are calling my references to ask about me, that's a good sign, right?
Yes! Good sign.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Lucy figured it out pretty quick but reacted the other way - the slightest shake of a pill bottle and she came running.
Dogs, man... Gotta love what they will do for a nice nom.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, just got a call -- the school that's probably my first choice right now, the one that was checking my references this morning, wants me to come for a campus interview.

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! Good luck, Hil.

Yeah, I did a phone interview. (I didn't think the phone interview went very well -- I'd gotten almost no sleep the previous night.) It's about an hour and a half drive away, with no good public transportation, so I guess I'll reserve a Zipcar for that day.
