A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I've done phone interviews, but not video. Thank god; potential employers do NOT need to see my working desk!

Phone is fine; you can look stuff up if you're sneaky; I always am ready at LEAST a half-hour ahead of time, though, and I brush my hair and put on a clean shirt and bra. I know! But it switches my mindset to "professional" not schlub.

I admit, though, as a freelancer, I am a bit more lax. I have talked to clients...BRALESS. *gasp*

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

Would you use this payment tool? It...it almost feels like stealing. Buying should be at least a little hard. Or you'll just keep doing it and doing it.

I think I would, but I hope I would be careful about where I set it up. The inherent problems are also the attractions.

Good luck Jen!

I was pretty old before I realized that freezing was not the only possible reaction to bees. I was never overly afraid of them, but somehow got convinced that I would accidentally flail into one's way, and that's when I would get stung. So, freeze.

Last time there were bees in the garden, I gave one a pat. Just once, very lightly. He was too busy doing his bee thing with the flowers to care. He was soft and fuzzy!!!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Would you use this payment tool?

No. But I used Square to sell concert tickets from my Android phone and that side of it worked like a dream.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's pretty much a given for medical shows, isn't it? I mean, they're never going to get it right, and eventually they're going to hit something close to home.

I stopped watching Keith Olberman's Countdown when he started talking about his father's slow death. It had been a year since I'd watched my own father die, and I just wasn't up to reliving the experience along with my nightly news.

I love the pieces in today's Daily Art Fixx.

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

Why? I haven't seen any objections to it that stood up to examination.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Wow, I forgot how fast this thread moves. Anyhow, since I can't stop the boys in the government from playing with their toys... Well, my MLIS program is for two years. After it, nothing that keeps me here.

I love this place. It's home, for better or worse. But almost nothing but insanity, hatred and fear are driving it.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I use the Square card reader to take credit cards at the flea market, but that auto-pay service does not appeal.

I spent the morning texting back and forth with Mr. Flowersocks. Apparently he used to dress like a Teddy boy. I may have to encourage him to start again.
