And how could I forget? P-C, that's great! I'm excited for you.
Urgh, how do I do this without setting off alarm bells at work? I'm using the doctor's appointment excuse because they're going to want a reason.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
By the way, 'I've wanted to ask you out since we first met a long time ago' is _super_ romantic. I do believe I sighed reading that.
She had a boyfriend then, as I immediately discovered after adding her on Facebook that night. An action I partially took to determine whether or not she had a boyfriend.
NH company wants me to come up on the 22nd. The 22nd-24th are going to be tough because someone is out on vacation, and I won't get the time off approved. Argh. Potential company is looking at other days, but I don't want to come off as difficult.
Oof. I hope you can work something out. I think they'll understand, and you can also frame it as being dedicated and committed to covering your co-worker in their absence.

Or you could do that.

Our wings are not tired.
Stick to your guns, Maria. They'll get over it - After You Are Gone to the new shiny job!
Teppy, there would be something amiss if you weren't freaking out!
((Bonny)) I hope you get some relief. It is hard to baby it when it has been doing good.

Because books.
Teppy, do you want to see more Mediabistro job listings? Or is that not helpful right now?
Also, what Laura and everyone else said. A freakout is definitely warranted.
All luck with the interview, Maria!

Yippee! Things are really coming together, Maria. It is a joy to watch.

Yay Maria!
And yay for P C.
My interview went well. The interviewed said he wanted to hire me but the head mgr is out sick today so I couldn't do a second interview. He's going to try and set one up for tomorrow or Friday.

I believe some people here read The Bloggess. A while back she posted about a guy who sent her a taxidermied bat in a "secret compartment" in a copy of her book. A taxidermied bat with a bat erection. Well, last night I ended up sharing that picture with some of the ARP parents (we were hanging at a bar after a meeting and the conversation had turned to squirrel penis's, as conversations do). I think I horrified a few of them. Not just that the picture existed but I was able to pull it up on my phone so quickly. Yes, there was whiskey involved.
eta - Go askye!!
