'Shindig'
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.
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.
Ah, gotcha... that at least makes a little more sense than I thought at first!
One wooden thing fell off the shelf (and it does that when I walk by sometimes) and a couple picture frames fell over. Can't tell if the hanging frames are crooked, they may have started out that way. Off to pool.
Skipping to check in, all is well in this part of Virginia, around Charlottesville. My first earthquake!
Have now received no fewer than six emails/voicemails regarding the status of our DC HQ. Something tells me the reverse doesn't happen when the LA office undergoes an earthquake. @@.
Calistas, how earthquake-proofed is your home? I don't have anything framed hanging over anywhere I sleep, but nothing is tacked to the wall. I do have a tall bookshelf near my bed, and a tall lingerie chest of drawers, but because of the angles they can't fall on me, although they can dump their contents onto me.
The sleep cave is very earthquake-safe. Tall bookshelves are bracketed to the wall and I always make sure my kitchen cabinets are firmly closed. Otherwise, no. But I am happy I no longer work in a liquefaction zone.
There are five cars parked outside my house and people I've never seen before just hanging out in the street talking. It's a bit odd.
And by five I now mean all the way around the corner. I am perplexed. We never had this many cars on our street when we lived across from drug dealers!
I'm going to have to accept the inevitable, aren't I?

I dunno, some of the folks on your FB post had some good ideas. I do think that going the non-official route might get you better results.
In DC, Metro trains are running at 15 mph and they're checking tracks for damage.
Three people who left the office more than two hours ago are still trying to get home (although they did get on trains). yay?
