'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
so, someone hacked the AP twitter account and tweeted that 2 explosions rocked the White House and that Barack Obama was injured.
WTFF??
Between the two kids, at least one of them will wake up in the middle of the night. On a good night, Kid A will climb into bed with Kid B instead of with us, but that's not something I can count on. sigh. I do love the snuggly mornings, but I NEED the sleep-filled nights.
I don't know if it was ever linked her, but this was another hack ... with, I think, fewer repercussions.
I sent it to Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire) with the subject line, "When will you rise? In Montana, yesterday" and she responded with "This? is AWESOME"
I was, as the Brits say, chuffed.
Always geodesic dome!
Cuffed jeans are making a comeback, -t?
Nah, I'll just keep stepping on the hems.
Waaaah, the movers finally took my chair. Now I'm sitting on the floor, talking to Comcast. Comcast still sucks, by the way.
oh Dana, over soon enough.
It has dropped to 40 degrees here today. Not ON, spring.
So, if a job application asks if you would relocate for the job without financial assistance to do so, what's the best strategic answer?
If I say, "Yes", am I committed to that? If I say, "No", will they cut me from consideration?
If I say, "No", will they cut me from consideration?
Very possibly.
If there is room, I would say something like "for the right postion". But yes is the safe answer. I wouldn't consider myself bound by that, though it certainly suggests that asking for relo is unlikely to work.
ETA, I wish companies would be more upfront with this stuff. If there is no budget for relo, why not just say so?
If there is no budget for relo, why not just say so?
Seems unlikely there's no budget. It's a senior position with a great deal of travel, for a pretty specialized international firm. I find it hard to believe they don't have the funds for a relo, although it's clearly an issue if they found it necessary to ask about it.
More drama at the theatre today! We were cleaning up and getting the stage set up for tech rehearsal when a barefoot woman wandered onto the stage and started placing water bottles with the theatre logo onto the furniture. After several exchanges of "who is that?" amongst us a stage manager engaged her in conversation while a production manager called security. Everything was calm until the security guard told her she needed to leave. At that point she raced for the upstage exit and was caught by a couple of stagehands right next to some very expensive projection equipment. It took 3-4 guys to carry her through the wings and hold her in the stairwell until the police arrived. It seems she had been wandering the building most of the morning.
