I guess staying home from the office today was a good idea. I just slept all day. And I feel better now, so I probably slept off whatever was making me sick yesterday.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

[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.

My geek neighbors have been discussing cheese for the last half hour. Apparently one of them is a serious cheese aficionado. He said, sadly, "I can't get my wife to try interesting cheese. She likes cheese, but she doesn't love cheese." Someone else: "Well, there's a cheese for everyone."
It sounded like it was almost a dealbreaker, the like, not love, of cheese.

If you were here I'd march over there and give it to him in person.

Want me to do it by proxy? I'll eventually be going home tonight.

OK, there is one university whose hiring process I really do not understand. I applied there. I got an interview. I didn't do very well at that interview, but I don't really think anybody would think they did well, interviewing with that guy. During the interview, he said that they hadn't even opened the application packets yet -- they were just interviewing everybody who'd requested an interview through the computer system. But I talked to someone else who'd requested an interview and not gotten one. Now, I just got an email from their department secretary that's obviously a form letter (it starts with "Dear Sir/Madam"), asking me about my citizen ship status. It says it won't affect the decision about my application, but they need to know so that my application will be complete.
I'm confused for several reasons. First, they seem to be doing all this in the wrong order. Second, the only places that have asked about citizenship status are the places where the job is funded through a grant from a government agency, and this one is not.

It's probably a data thing. They aren't thinking about you, per se, just their aggregate numbers for HR.

Couldn't they have asked about that on the application?

I would think so. Also, I sent that application in November. Interviewing and then reading the applications seems just weird. (The interview obviously knew absolutely nothing about me when I sat down at that interview. The first thing he did was ask for my CV, and then he clearly was just glancing down at it and asking about whatever his eyes happened to land on.)
