Huh, we haven't had that big a warning here in Utah. I guess the clouds that are coasting by currently are waiting to hit the true Rockies before letting go.
edit: We're still looking at a 30-40 degree drop in temperature, though.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Suzi,
good luck with Jack Frost.
(breathes sigh of relief)
Otherwise? I was going to run screaming from my office and make a flight reservation to San Diego or something.

I have a PT appt tomorrow and was planning on getting my car looked at too. I've been trying to call my PT office to reschedule, but the "Press one to speak to your office" thing keeps hanging up on me. Don't have an appt for the car, just need to get it in sometime soon.

you have got to see this campaign video for the mayor of San Francisco. It actually made my day.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
After working here for ten months I decided to go to the (semi-notorious) group of food trucks down the street. Tossed the gross bahn mi/spring rolls out after a few bites. Another ten months, I guess.

Yeah, so, I got a reply back from a resume I submitted. They say they do a credit screen on their candidates before a face-to-face interview, though a bad score has no bearing on whether they'll hire you (orly? Then why do it).
Does this seem right to you? Not to me. They have it "set up" so you can do get a free credit report, and you send them the confirmation number.
This screams scam to me, as in devious ways to get your personal info. Amirite?

Because books.
I think some employers -- banks, notably, and some others -- do credit checks. I think they did one on me to work at H&M. And if anyone's credit said "ready to steal!", it was probably me.
I should add, though, that that was after I was offered the job, and two interviews. Credit and background check.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is that 2011 or 2012, brenda?

Yeah, that's what I'm used to. It's not the credit check itself, it's doing it prior to even an interview, much less a job offer, that seems fishy to me.
