I'm watching 12 Angry Men for a homework assignment. You guys, I know it's a classic, but there are too many middle-aged white dudes in this film.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The people here at work are being super nice to me this last week. It is such a huge difference between everyone else and the boss. Today and the next two days people are taking me to lunch. Today after work a group are taking me to happy hour.
And the new office I am going to, which is much much smaller (only 5 people), two people from there have emailed to say how excited they are to have me coming.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My lunch was a chef's salad (Chef Salad? Is there standardization on that name?)made with Char Sui and leftover leg of lamb. I feel pretty fancy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That all sounds so good, msbelle!
The guy I had a half-hour phone interview with a couple of weeks ago now wants me to come in for a 45 minute "first round" interview. This process could take literally forever!

Heh. I watched it for a grad school class, and was almost unbearably distracted by the Voice of Piglet.

All I can remember is how young Jack Klugman was. Baby Quincy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am epically frustrated by people today, and I need to pee, get lunch, and learn javascript in the next half hour.
DER. I did not realise people were mocking Charles Ramsey. I thought they were mocking the operator. Shitheads. Anyway, this is for Good Stuff, if it's not in queue yet: [link] Christ, man.
Okay--lunchpee.

Gah, I know the feeling. Now I'm all worried that I priced myself out of the job I interviewed for last week, although I did say that any decision I made wasn't going to be based solely on salary.
... Is a week too soon to ask how their discussions are going?

I don't think a week is too soon, although be prepared for the answer to be "we haven't had a chance to talk about it yet."
At least I didn't underprice myself! In the phone interview, he asked what I wanted, and I said "I wouldn't consider leaving here for less than $X," and he said, "We're thinking about $X+Y." So that's good.
