'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Fingers crossed, Maria! Remember, you're interviewing them as well -- are they good enough for =you to work for them=?

(I saw a friend go through three jobs in 18 months because she took the first offer each time, for places that were, frankly, skeevy -- two of them went bankrupt,and the other she was harassed out the door. Perhaps the law of averages wasn't working on her behalf, but I think she was lacking in picking up warning signals....)

Yay Maria!!!

I just went for a short hike (about 90 minutes) on a island in the harbour. I was nice, but I am really out of shape.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Here's a guest pass link to see kitty pics: [link]

Go Maria! Good luck!

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

Yay, Maria, that sounds very positive!

I failed at being social, but succeeded at buying groceries, so half-credit for the day, I guess.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Baby Kitty! I love the one with Frankie and the kitty-- he has a friend!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It is positive. It would be contract to perm for various reasons (which I'm OK with), but if it happens, now I have to turn down a job I've already accepted and which I'm scheduled to start after Labor Day. It's not the perfect job by any stretch--little career growth, no longer in management capacity--but it will keep a roof over our heads and food on the table.

The company I'd rather work for knows about this accepted position, and they also know that it's not what I ultimately want to be doing. I figured honesty was the best policy here.

What is the current slang term for marijuana? I just heard Craig Ferguson say "doobie", which makes me laugh. I feel like I would say pot, or maybe weed, but is there a new one?

I think of a doobie specifically as a joint. As far as I know, "pot" and "weed" are still acceptable slang terms.

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

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

It's perfectly acceptable to eat onion rings for dinner, yes?

I am just not in the mood for anything resembling cooking.
