And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Ya know, I was thinking of lighting the firepit this Saturday evening, weather permitting. Get some wine, maybe hook up Anny's speakers to my iPad, and have a nice mellow celebration.

Sounds great!

I just has someone show up 45 minutes early for an interview. Um, go get a cuppa?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, points for being early, although 45 minutes is a bit much. Although, considering what commuting is like today (I-95 falling apart, Metro's usual snafus), they probably allowed time for the worst to happen.

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

they probably allowed time for the worst to happen.

Still, don't show yourself to the interviewer.

Still, don't show yourself to the interviewer.

This is what I don't get. Granted, we're interviewing for a tiny PT position, so maybe he thought this was no big deal, but I did explain when I called him up to ask him in that we are a small, close staff, so we do like to have candidates meet as many people as possible and that we planned on having him here about 2 hours.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I've killed a lot of time outside whatever meeting/interview I've had when I was early like that.... 15 minutes seems OK, but you should still expect to wait in the lobby those 15 minutes! People, man.

If I got somewhere 45 minutes early for an interview, I would go find a cup of tea and read the paper (or stress over my resume).

So Lindsey Lohan. She's always in the news, always violating something, I had forgotten the chronology.

Here is a helpful list in case you care. Perhaps even if you don't.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody. It helps take the sting out of grading on my birthday.

Happy birthday Calli! Yay birthday twins!
