You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Suela, I think most of the fannish grapevine regarding Crash Bandicoot comes from Tumblr. Are you active there?

Are you active there?

No, I am not. Which explains my ignorance. Tumblr, like FB, is blocked at my workplace, and I don't have time at home to fully explore a new ecosystem. So I have bookmarked a few Tumblrs (Coach Taylor Encourages Your Academics, Fannish Flamingo, Women Warriors), and I follow links once in a while, but that's it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And the recruiter says this morning that the Houston people are not going to make an offer. Despite saying they would make an offer Monday.

Fuck.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Fuckers!

Really, that's just grossly unprofessional. If you don't have authority to make an offer, don't say you will. If the decision isn't final, don't say you're going to make an offer. How hard is that to understand?

I am a bad daughter: I overruled my dad, and told the med staff to give my mother Haldol this morning. I would like for my dad to have one morning not full of rage and abuse.

Consuela, depends on your definition of what BAD is.

I suspect your mother has reached the point where it's not "drugging her to keep her compliant" but "drugging her so that she's not emotionally wrought." She needs a break from it as much as anyone around her.

Crap, Dana. I don't understand why they'd say they would and then not.

That doesn't sound like bad daughtering to me, 'Suela.

They just said he "wasn't a fit" because they're very picky about their "culture."

So basically, we have no idea why, and we'll never know.

Your dad needs lots more overruling. He is a huge part of the problem, it seems like.
