vw! Hi!

We're three weeks away from the wedding, and we went away for the weekend for our engagement pictures.

So awesome! I squee for you!

I brilliantly decided I would take this opportunity to leave my phone and computer at home to take a complete break.

That trick never works! At least not for me, I go into withdrawal. It ain't pretty.

In my very reserved cowboy town, the Celtic fiddle band got a double standing ovation.

Liese, that's tremendous! They must have been over the moon.

As promoters we still basically suck

Doubtful, considering the above, but anyway, learning, right? It'll get better.

Happy Easter to all the Easter bunny and Jesus fans!

Happy Easter Jesus fans! And pagans celebrating the return of spring. Today I almost wish I were still pagan, because it's a gorgeous day for a little ritualistic fornicating in the fields.

"Daddy, did you make this?"

Well? What did you tell her?

Interview~ma, le n!

I'm in an unaccountably good mood today.

Well? What did you tell her?

"Do I look like the Easter Bunny?"

Glad to hear you are in a good mood. Ya got such a great smile!

Aw, thanks, omnis! I'm smiling right now AIFG.

The posting got revised AGAIN. Here it is - [link].

Er... just the fact that the posting keeps getting revised makes me think that these folks don't have it together- and the fact that they want up to 16 hours of your day, six days a week, no flexibility and not a lot of pay... that's not cool. I think that you have been hanging out with Mr. Crazy Doctor Hours too long to even be considering this job!

I would imagine no one lasts longer than a couple of months, because I don't think that people can work like that for longer without physical/mental repercussions.

So, it might be a good source of income on a temporary basis till something more... normal comes down the pike?

omnis,

thank you!

I also need to keep my emotions in check. I'm usually half-Vulcan so this is a new one.

Interview ~ma to you, le nubian. I am, however, having trouble with the idea that anyone could not be impressed with you.

oh thank you. I'm going through waves of self-doubt bullshit. my mentor is like "you need to be excited about this" and I'm like: how do I really know they like me? they say they like me, but I'm stunned they like me?

are they trying to fool me? am I lunch?

They like you. They really like you.

Seriously, if your mentor knows you well and says you should be excited, they are interested in you. If they're looking for someone who's smart, thoughtful and articulate, you're a shoo-in.

(Because I'm obsessive, I had to check my spelling of shoo-in, which I had spelled shoe. Apparently it comes from horse-racing slang for the winner of a fixed race.)

Just remember, the lurkers support you in email. :)

Good luck!
