Yeah, remember on Friday I was all about emigrating to Berlin? Today, mr. flea got a rejection email about that job, and an email inviting him on a second interview in Dublin with IBM (which presumably knows how to move people internationally, at least). I hate the job-search rollercoaster.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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, yay second interview, flea? Dublin would have the advantage also of being able to speak the language (at least mostly)! :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think the new VW Beetle could easily be made to look like the red Angry Bird.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Also: WHO WANTS TO EAT BABY TOES? Or, whole babies?
So disturbing, but SO FUNNY! Like an Anne Geddes nightmare.
So in I-am-vaguely-competent news, I powered through a bunch of paperwork today. And in I-am-vaguely-INcompetent news, I flubbed the box cupcakes and had to dump them back in the bowl and add more ingredients. D'oh!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those babies are super creepy.
I just realized why I can't get anything done, when I went to finish something (ANYTHING): all of my projects need one thing from someone else who is either not in the office or just not getting back to me. @@

I have been light on work recently and have been asking all sorts of folks for both short term and long term work. A few different things came through today, so I should be busy, right? Nope. Each one of them has a missing piece of information that is critical enough that I can't do anything without it.
I need answers people. Now, please. NOW.

Dublin's cooler unless you're into heroin, industrial music and S&M.
