Seska has mentioned hers with affection, I believe. Get yourself one, ita !, that's what bonuses are for!
Go, Sue, preventive care ftw!
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
More weather weirdness:
How hot is it? It is so hot that the low temperature for the normally frigid International Falls only hit 60°F yesterday, which tied the previous record high for the date! meteorologist Dr. Jeff Masters wrote he’s never seen that happen station with a century-long data record. Monday was “the seventh consecutive day that International Falls broke or tied a daily record.”

10 Coolest Sidekicks in Science Fiction and Fantasy
Fun.
The last sentence of this one cracked me up:
2) Spock
It sometimes seems like the 1960s were the era for cool sidekicks. And Spock is the coolest cat of the mod era. You know how in like every other Star Trek episode, Kirk is stuck down on the planet by himself, getting deeper and deeper in shit — he's been mind-daggered, he's been android-duplicated, he's been wink-of-an-eye'd — and then in the last 10 minutes, Spock finally arrives. The moment you see Spock turn up and greet Kirk, you know things are going to be fine, because the team is back together and they're going to blow up the computer together. Spock is going to help Kirk sort out all the wrong shit, with logic and one raised eyebrow. Because the many need to get their asses kicked by the one.

Hey, is it still expected that if you're going to a job interview, you need to bring along a hard copy of your resume for each person you talk to?

hip deep in pie
I have never done that Jilli, but most of my interviews have been for gov't.

Jillian, I always do that just in case. I rarely need it but look better if I can say "don't worry I have one right here" as needed

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it was Seska, ita !.
For some reason, it seems like an anti-British thing to do. Like making a fuss, where none is warranted. Because, genetically and culturally, you know precisely how to make the perfect cup. Cuppa. You know.
I make a pot with two tea bags in a stainless steel carafe
I'd need something with a basket for good flow for loose leaves, though.
I think I'll just spend the stupid money. The stupid AWESOME money. Goddamnit.
Man, I just acted all casual on a call with the people we're supposed to be dressed up for. Why didn't anyone tell me they were there? Sheesh. I feel like Garcia on Criminal Minds.
you need to bring along a hard copy of your resume for each person you talk to?
I've usually brought them just in case, but rarely used them. I think it's useful to have them printed out, especially if you're not changing your resume with each application.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jilli,
you also might want to have a link to it (like a bit.ly link - easy for you to remember) so that if you run out of hard copies, you can refer them to a weblink.

Yes, spend the bonus on the awesome teapot. I bet they use them in Japan. They love the gadgetry there.

People, never attempt to text my phone. Just....don't. I will not get your text in a timely manner because either:
a) I have turned off the ringer and barely think to check it when it is in front of my face which is approximately 15 seconds a day when I am grabbing or hanging up my keys
or
b) I have left the ringer on, but keep wondering what that random beep is and then forget about it
or all the more likely:
c) it has been freed from its mooring (the charger) by some furry 4 footed creatures, abused enough that the ringer was off (which I KNOW was on because I'd turned it on Saturday night after using it to retrieve a phone #,) batted under the couch sometime in the wee smalls monday morning and I didn't notice its absence from the usual spot because I was cleaning up all the books that were also knocked over and it wasn't right there in front of my face.
I don't know anyone who has met me who knows how much I do NOT use my cell. It's a running joke/irritation about me.
Signed, yeah I really DIDN'T know you were in the hospital having your kid and the cats needed feeding. SORRY!
At least another friend went over to do some tidying up for them yesterday.
