'First Date'
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
The news is telling me that Boston felt the quake, but I certainly didn't!
Also, I mean, unless I'm missing something, it sounds very much like you will never actually be considered for this job.
Well, if they cancel & reannounce with "selective placement factors", which are specific requirements necessary for the position (beyond a degree or x years of experience), then they will be able to hire me. But it's going to be tricky defining them.
