Happy birthday, Spidra!
So, it's reasonable if I'll apply for a student job in the library of my university to have at least of year of experience for my resume, even if it won't pay as much as other jobs I might be able to get?
Shir, it sounds very reasonable to me, at least in the long run. Unless you really need a higher-paying job right now, I'd say go for it! More Buffista librarians, yay!
Continued ~ma for all who need it: health~ma to Drew, bonny, and lisah's friend's brother, job~ma to Aims, and general good wishes all around.
Glamcookie, you've got one seriously adorable kidlet there! I *love* the blanket photo. Cute baby pictures: I likes them.
how do I convince my parents not to stay with me when they visit in two weeks??
ooh that's a tough one. Do either of them have pet allergies? You could have forgotten that you offered to pet sit for a friend during that time... but then you probably need to find a pet to borrow to keep up the facade.
Sign you are getting old: You do a search for safety glasses with magnification. Soldering tiny wires is not as easy as it used to be. :: sigh ::

Yep, I need bifocals. Currently I have to use a magnifying glass (with light) for soldering.
Are they scared of bed bugs? Maybe you could start scratching obviously and forwarding them articles about outbreaks.
I got an email today from the law firm that I want to hire me that they are down to considering me and one other person and will decide by late next week. I sort of feel like a legal beauty pageant contestant. I really, really want this job and it would be SO MUCH easier to leave my current psycho place if I had something well paying to move to.
Oh omnis, what soldering iron do you use or recommend?
Speaking of soldering (and audio effects) - I just got this kit today: MICrODEC
A Microcontroller and a Codec – A Reprogrammable Audio Processor
Omg, Stephanie, that's kind of evil of them!! Eek. Best of luck.
The bedbug thing is too likely to come true and backfire horribly on me! Karma and all that. And sadly, no pet allergies. I took a quick look at priceline, but even a $60 hotel room would end up being $350!
meara, could you just tell them, "It wouldn't be convenient for me to put you up, but I can give you a list of convenient hotels"? Or -- you said they don't want to spend the money, right? But even so, could you tell them that, because they've never stayed with you before, you assumed they wouldn't be staying this time, and it just wouldn't work if they did?
meara, can you offer to split the cost of a hotel with them? Or is that still too much?
