Also, I mean, unless I'm missing something, it sounds very much like you will never actually be considered for this job. (It is entirely possible I'm missing something, because the whole thing sounds like ridiculous bureaucratic crazycakes nonsense to me.)
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
When moving into my place in CO, my mom wanted me to hang a pretty picture over my bed. I couldn't do it. I know I'm not in CA anymore, but the idea of it still gives me the shivers.
Nicole's hubby has a very pretty sword mounted on the wall over the stairs to the basement - you have to pass under it as your use the stairs. Always makes me think twice. Too many years in CA.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is Allyson on twitter? I want to retweet her story but can't find her on my phone.
I do, @allysonbeatrice
I think maybe I don't know how to use Twitter correctly. I forgot about this hashtag business. I'll have to retweet it correctly. Still, I don't know if GM or anyone else is going to give a shit. I can't make them care. I just wish I was still BNF enough to raise an army to fuck with them for a few days, just to feel slightly better.
msbelle, I did email consumerist.

Because books.
Allyson, tweeted and FB'd. I hope GM responds. With their tail between their legs and a shiny new gas pedal, if not a brand-new car.
Consuela, I'm so sorry. The whole thing sounds nightmarish, and really stressful for you.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Dear newspeople:
North Anna nuclear plant has not declared an "emergency." It has declared a "notice of unusual event," the lowest level of emergency declaration. NUEs are declared based on specific criteria from the NRC. An NUE can be declared for everything from an approaching tornado to a piece of equipment that's going to be out of service for a day longer than tech specs. Nuclear plants nationwide declare a couple a month. The vast majority of NUEs are declared because of mishandling of medical nuclear sources and people stealing glow-in-the-dark signs.
Once again, chill.

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

Looking around my house, I think there might have been an earthquake after all. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

We must have a goddamn earthquake every day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, that's not quite as wrongheaded as I first thought, Consuela, but obviously a much huger hassle for you than it ought to be, in a just world.

I'm imagining everything that could fall off. It's....well, guess I'll go home and see.
