All of my interviews were like the worst of "Mad Men". "so, honey, how fast can you type?" (Except no pinching--that would have made the news, I think.) I've never had one that's remotely successful...your ADA at work. Or, you know, not. Something about seeing their face drop when they see you just makes all my informed-sounding questions go to shit.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Woo hoo, Nora!!
The ~ma is working, I have proof! My roommate got called back and starts tomorrow! And my 2nd round interview is scheduled for Thursday afternoon!! AND I got my dental insurance card in the mail and a corrected bill from the COBRA peeps.
I know what I want to ask for ($3K more than I made at UNC) and about as low as I want to go (what I made at BoH). I just need to run numbers and see what all that would look like based on what I actually spend and things I'd like to do (hai, trip to France in October).
Also, next door neighbor is fixing up bikes for a nonprofit and if I help clean them, I can have one. SCORE.
Now to figure out why I have more money than I expected in my accounts. Hmm. I hope it's because I've been hardcore saving money (but still enjoying NOLA, thanks to Nora and other generous friends). To celebrate the interview and having $$, I bought... a crockpot. Living large!!
I am, like, Tigger-level bouncy. I kind of hope StW wants to go out to eat, though I will totally understand if he wants to get takeout and crash after his marathon day. Half an hour left!
!!!11!1111!!! (I felt like my post needed just a *few* more exclamation marks.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay smonster, I am so happy for you. I will be crossing fingers for you.
I spent the morning cleaning up Franny's room with her. Got her to get rid of a bunch of stuff. We went through about half the room and will finish it tomorrow. phew! Then on to Isaac's room. I doubt he'll be quite as helpful, but oh well, it must be done.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I am creating another experimental bean salad tonight but the last one won me a boyfriend so I'm feeling pretty good about it.
