Just had an actual phone interview. Looks like I'll be going in for an in-person interview on Monday, and I'll be interviewing with another place next week, too.
Gimme some milk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ita's still lying low, Sophia.
I was hoping Eureka being back and Avengers would have brought her back. Oh well, I just hope she's getting relief.
And so I've thought about nailing that rule to Polgara's door, like a scrabble lutheran.
SCRABBLE SCHISM!!!
There's a "go eat worms" joke in this discussion somewhere.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If you nail it to one of the corners, you get a triple word score.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Tom!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Luther only came up with 95 theses because 95 was his highest word score in Scrabble.

I miss ita.
Me too. Whoever's in touch with her, please let her know that we're thinking of her and sending her good vibes.
Good luck Tom!
Since December, one of my coworkers retired, they announced and hired and filled his position. And I'm still waiting for "my" spot to be announced. WTF. My boss says it's because that other job is in a different division, with a competent HR person, but our HR person isn't. He'd asked to switch HR reps, and been refused.

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

Because books.
Yes, much luck, Tom!
Jesus, Consuela. I don't understand how your workplace gets anything done, ever.
In horrible bosses news, S. was in a meeting yesterday with his department. They were talking about offering an incentive to readers -- a gift basket you could win -- and the possibility of putting Phillies tickets in it.
The boss immediately shot it down and said the tickets would be too expensive for the value of the basket. One of S.'s coworkers (a young, really nice guy) offered to buy the tickets himself out of frustration.
The boss? In the middle of the meeting, with everyone there, looked at him and scoffed, "You? You can't even pay your bills."
Unreal. I think I would have clocked her. Or at least imagined it in great detail.
