Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

On the FDA story, I remember reading a book called The Accidental Investment banker, and they had a reference to the Security Exchange Commission. I... Couldn't read more than ten pages after that. Not that everyone knows that's wrong, but that's your primary regulator! If you don't instantly know that's not the name, what kind of care did you take with this book?

your current Branch Chief comes in 2 hours later and says you should be hearing from HR within the week, and shakes your hand in a most positive fashion, that's good, right?

That sounds very promising!

I have consoled myself for my shitty HR position with the knowledge that there are consulting jobs available in the area. I'm not going to end up on the street begging for my dinner.

But maybe it'll all work out. Or maybe I should write a best-selling YA novel--it's feeling about as likely as getting this job, some days.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So, if you have a nice phone call with the Branch Chief at the office you've applied for a job at, and she says she'll call your current Branch Chief, and your current Branch Chief comes in 2 hours later and says you should be hearing from HR within the week, and shakes your hand in a most positive fashion, that's good, right?

This is the mr. flea job in Cincinnati he didn't initially make the interview pool cut.

Trying not to count my chickens before they're hatched, but - woot!

Good luck, Mr. flea!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Why, restaurants, why?

Why are restaurant websites so horrifically bad?
