[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh Connie, that's so terrible.
I actually just read an article about this in the New Yorker. There's something called life stage marketing where they use data mining to identify when people are going through major life changes and market directly to them. It came to light because a man received a flyer in the mail from Office Max addressed to his name/daughter died in car accident/or occupant. It's horrible. [link]

Just got asked for another interview. I seem to be popular with the Catholic universities this year.

A little stent-ma for my father would be appreciated, as he is in hospital for that surgery today.

The first one. CUA hasn't posted any ads for math people this year, that I've seen. But I've gotten two interviews from Jesuit universities, and now one from a Catholic one that's not Jesuit.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Jesuits can be cool. Very respectful of learning and science. If I recall correctly, it was actually a Jesuit priest who first postulated the Big Bang.
They also tend to have good booze.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yeah, the Jesuits of my acquaintance have been scary smart and love their booze.

Continued job~ma, Hil. I really hope you find something you love in an area that has more amenities than your current location has.
Grr. My medical equipment supplier is saying they haven't been reimbursed by my insurance company in nearly 2 years. My insurance company is saying that is not true. And meanwhile I just need my medical supplies and soon.

Just got an email that one of the schools that I already did a phone interview with wants me to do an on-campus interview now!
