So if there's a Jewish cabal running the world, and raking in the money, howcome Hil's worried about paying for a cab?

She *has* to say that. That's a cabal rule.

...or possibly she's a hologram, in which case the hologram is reciting what it was programmed to recite. I'm not too clear on that.

It's not actually that she's worried about "paying for a cab" - it's "paying for a cab...al.

But that is why Hil and I keep departing from the script of the Cabal. They forgot to send us our checks. We will take our part in the conspiracy as soon as send us the millions in back pay they owe us.

A member of the Cabal would deny he was a member of the Cabal.

Damn, that's why they won't send me checks. I keep breaking the first rule of fight club Cabal club.

Raq: HA!

Happy Birthday Ellie!!

So, y'all don't hang out with Larry David and the Emanuel brothers and plot world domination? Bummer. And George Soros is still late with my Daily Kos check, too.(The right-wingers have the big Orange all wrong...it's more like roller derby than some country club. You can do it if you learn to be proud of the bruises on your ass.) And learn to write about things in sufficient length that nobody says "This is not a diary...take it down, newbie."

Thank you for the distraction and humor. I am trying to fix a problem for a bad tempered doctor. He doesn't seem to get that I am going to fix the problem at the same rate of speed if he is pissy or pleasant. Or maybe I might have to take a distraction break to be able to properly assist him.

Maybe I should catch up on Natter.

"Could you just die, Bob? Could you just do that?" Inner Ari Gold offered that as a suggestion, Laura.

Still no word from the school where I interviewed last week. They said to contact them anytime with questions, and that they'd answer any questions about my status in the hiring honestly, because the hiring and deadlines and everything are confusing enough as it is without getting inaccurate information, so, since they said they'd let me know late this week, and I hadn't heard anything yet, I emailed this morning, but haven't heard back yet.

In the past week, three schools have emailed to ask if I'm still interested. One of them is a definite yes (highly-regarded liberal arts school in New England with Birkenstock-type reputation), one is a maybe (medium-sized medium-ranked school in a medium-sized city in Virginia, with a math department that seems even less organized than I'm used to), and one I think is a no (school I've never really heard of in Illinois, really rural, not a great academic reputation.)
