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!
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

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
Holy shit, it's happening. July 25th I will be in Manchester NH for an interview.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yay! They accommodated you and everything! Rock their socks off, Maria.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay, Maria!
Laura - Jul 10, 2013 7:49:39 am PDT #1754 of 30002
Our wings are not tired.
Yippee! Things are really coming together, Maria. It is a joy to watch.

Thrive to spite them
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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

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!!
Laura - Jul 10, 2013 8:10:55 am PDT #1757 of 30002
Our wings are not tired.
I would have been impressed, SuziQ. Even more so with whiskey.
Yay askye! I love the job~ma around this place.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Best of luck and ~ma on your second interviews, askye and Maria!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
quester, helluva 4th story!
More money, more travel, working out of the house, better benefits, more vacation. And respect. Almost forgot what that is like.
Sounds awesome - though that last sentence really ticks me off on your behalf. Ever so much continued ~ma!
Woot, P-C! Sounds like you're off to a nice start. Wishing you continued yay-ness.
I see P-C and P-G (Phosphate Girl, she needs a name) more as superheros who will fight crime. And interpretive dance. Together.
I think maybe there are things more dastardly than interpretive dance they could be fighting. But I don't judge!
Steph, I won't tell you to get over it (because I'm not an asshole), but I wish you ~ma for getting through it. And that the get-over-it people will keep their distance (and keep their traps shut). As stated above, there's a helluva lot on your plate now. You'd be a weirdo if you weren't feeling whelmed by it all.
bonny, mucho ~ma for you as well. I hope your day gets better and better.
