I think it is fucking insane for them to email you about what to do for a job talk less than 2 days before you are going to do it.
I swear to God, academic drives me batshit sometimes.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They fail at job interviewing. Troubling if that's an indicator of the demands they expect from staff.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I'm not really too impressed with that, either.

Meanwhile, yesterday Biyi and I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. (Seven of the best years of my life.) We had dinner at a rather nice Japanese restaurant in Southbank, with balcony views of the city across the river. Very pleasant, relaxing evening. (Of course, Ryan has his own opinions as to the desirability of Mummy and Daddy spending evenings without the pleasure of his company.)
On Thursday, we'll be out again. We're attending a show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Fun week.

News from Hubby:
The cancers are shrinking nicely. I'm guessing the upsurge in symptoms is the various symptoms reacting. And maybe chemo side effects in and of themselves.
So the positive train is still the proper trip to be on.

The next roommate needs to not work from home, too, I think. Current roomie is on calls a lot, and when he isn't, I still feel like I can't turn on the TV or do homework. He makes me SO self conscious.
I hate that I'm complaining about him, because he really is a nice guy, and he's only here for a few more weeks, and he pays his rent (a bigger deal than I would have imagined a year ago), but I really can't wait for him to go.
I wish I could afford this (or any) place by myself. I dislike living with most people.
I miss my roommate Harry.

Great news Connie. Hope things get better soon, Sean.
