Happy birthday, Ginger! Did you go to Waffle House for breakfast?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

Compassionately intolerant
From a selling it point of view, I would frame it that way. One of the first parts of the talking further would be, just how important direct, specific experience is to them at this time.
Whenever I work with people in career change, I strongly recommend avoiding the 'I've never done this before' statement UNLESS, as Windsparrow suggests, there is a resume requirement of X years experience doing Y specifics.
Usually, the truth is, the applicant HAS done things similar or contributing to whatever is required for success. Understanding an industry's quirks and needs can be learned. True management skill? That's usually inborn, in my experience.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Ginger!
And go Vortex on the great job lead, too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Ginger! Woot, Barb! Go with the job lead, Vortex! Everybody happy!
Except me. OMG. I have a cold, work is exploding with the stupid, and the cats won't shut up. I want to drug myself with Benadryl and go back to bed.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Ginger!!!!
In terms of qualifying for unemployment, this may vary by state, but there's an important distinction between being fired with cause (i.e., stealing stuff) and being laid off (i.e., reorg, downsizing, "just not working out" etc). You only qualify for unemployment if you're laid off.
This. Illinois says you have to be "unemployed through no fault of your own." So if you quit or are fired with cause, no employment.

Happy Birthday, Ginger!!!
Woo Hoo for the good review, Barb!!! I hope she who will not be named chokes on it.
I picked up the marriage license today and a nice bottle of scotch as a wedding present for TCG. I'm getting married in 11 days! Yes, this is just sinking in now.

So exciting!!!
We did a huge 30 Day Out task list for our wedding last night (actually 34 days out today). SO much to do. But also a lot has been done so there's that! I have a fitting of a mock up of my dress this week. That will be fun! I still don't know what I'm doing about shoes for me though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, Ginger!
