Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No offers yet, but people are interested in me & my skills! Yay!

Of course they are! Yay!

Excellent news, Consuela! Sounds like you'll have opportunities.

Hoping things are going well for msbelle.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sweet, Gud!

Yay, avocado!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats Gud!

Yay Consuela!

Suela that's awesome! I hope it all works out in the best of ways.

Now I wish I had avocado. Instead I ate some of the stew-thing my roommate made last night with barley and carrots and leeks and kale. Super healthy. ...not delicious. So I whipped out the Sriracha sauce, and started to shake it up. Note to self: This is a better plan if you make sure the top is closed on the sauce before you start shaking!!

... and the plot thickens. On Tuesday I replied to an official job posting on Big Firm's web page, prior to having lunch on Wednesday with my friend who works there.

This morning, friend calls me & says that the job opening I replied to wasn't actually open, but two senior managers want to talk to me anyway. I say sure, we plan to have lunch next Friday.

Ten minutes ago, a recruiter from Big Firm calls me about my application, and clearly has no idea about the other communications. And I didn't realize she didn't understand it, until I was already off the phone with her. Does this job exist or not? So confused.

Because books.

That is odd, Consuela, but the good news is that she was interested in you, too?

All this talk of avocado and I have no guacamole.

Now I want avocado too! I would say this is evidence that I'm too suggestible, but the truth is, I pretty much always want avocado.

'Suela, that... is odd! But still a positive for you, right? Can you doublecheck with your friend about whether or not the job is open?
