I love each and every one of you. Just in case you didn't know....
I shall ponder.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Ponder away, Maria. I know that personally, I'm still avoiding a lot of media that I know makes me cry (Big Fish, Lilo and Stitch, Mirrormask), because I was crying at everything, and didn't need additional triggers.

And because I felt it should be in a separate post: the HR guy emailed me today and said the initial feedback has been good! And to please send them samples of my technical writing. Ohshitohshitohshit. Because I have LOTS of editing samples, but tech writing samples? Um.
Thankfully I was able to download the two big docs I was responsible for during the hell job, and sent him those. Now I freak out.

That's not breaching confidentiality? I would have a very hard time coming up with a writing sample--everything I"ve written is confidential to the company I wrote it for.

For Connie and any other beader - wow ... just wow.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'd also have a hard time coming up with a writing sample, but for different reasons. I've authored some documents that have been published, but only after so much review that you can't really call it my writing any more.

Nope, they're publicly-available documents. Thank goodness. Next I have to go start up Pugsley the Windows netbook and see if I've got other samples on there.

Jilli, just tell the HR guy you're a Published Arthur and he can RTFM.

Yeaaah, the crossover between the GCS writing and tech writing? Not so strong. (But everyone I interviewed with yesterday made sure to tell me how much they liked the site, and one guy, in the last 10 minutes of our interview, said, "Okay, this is my burning question: what is the difference between Goth and Steampunk? I don't get it." )

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Duh. Black and silver vs. brown and brass!
