two people from there have emailed to say how excited they are to have me coming.

Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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

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

Good lord. It's all sunny and gorgeous out and I disappear into the server room for 20 minutes. I come out and it is dark and WHOA THUNDER.
Was not expecting that.

Good luck on the jobs front, you guys!
Aw man, looking at the map, it looks like they aren't stopping any time soon. Big rotation centered over WVa. Swim outlook poor.

We've had a couple quick showers. I just popped out and checked under the Shademaker 2000 and it's quite acceptably dry there, both table and seat, so I might yet get to sit and read out in the yard today.

Art Crawl!!!
I can't believe that people were mocking Charles Ramsey - asshats.
ION - I had to order a new power cord for my laptop and I did - on April 20th. I somehow forgot to give them my new address but I have a forwarding address in play so it should be okay except that Dell says that the package was delivered to my old place. . . the USPS says that it could take up to 30 days for something to get to me.
Which do I believe? Is is sitting at my old address? Or is it in Post Office limbo?
