Oy. A school where I sent an application months ago and never heard from again sent me an email to set up an interview. The first interview for these jobs is always a phone interview, so I said sure, and scheduled a time. I just got a confirmation email from them that makes it clear that they actually meant a campus interview. It's in Richmond, two hours from DC. I can take a Zipcar and go there, but it'll be pricey, and they haven't mentioned anything about reimbursing my travel expenses, which is pretty standard for campus interviews.

We have a friend who teaches at VSU and she LOVES it. We went to visit her there and it's a truly gorgeous, livable city.

Not anymore. I got rid of my last pair when we moved.

Our little girl has become a woman!

It's more like hooge vaj

That's totally what she said.

Not really - I traded to yoga pants and foldover jersey skirts. I do love a good jersey.

I would definitely clear that up before going down there.

Right now, I'm considering whether to go at all or to cancel. Zipcar is pricier than I'd thought, and I really don't want to deal with I-95 during weekday morning rush hour, and I really have a bunch of questions I want to ask about this job before committing essentially a full day to the interview.

Dude, SO much better than gauchos, you don't even understand.

Hil, I don't think it would hurt your chances to contact them and let them know you were under the impression it was a phone interview and do they reimburse for travel expenses.

Giggling at hooj vaj.

Budapest is also cosmopolitan enough that you don't have to eat Hungarian if you don't want to. In fact I didn't eat any when I was there, b/c I was on vacation from Moldova and got vey excited about the Tex Mex, vegetarian, and other options.

smonster, I feel bad for waking you up at 6:30 this morning! Too bad I couldn't tell you were sick *before* I dialed the phone.

No, don't feel bad! I needed to get up and walk Frankie and assess my level of sickness so I could call in on time. I'll need to do the same tomorrow, likely. Latest symptom - my skin hurts.

Went to see shrink, then stopped by bank, pet store, and grocery store! I can has cold meds, tissues, and ice cream! And Frankie can has new toys to shred.

...and he's already chewed the hemp rope in two. So much for that!

I think I may be ordering pizza in for dinner.
