Do I bring my leftover candy into the office or do I put it in my freezer? It's all chocolate if that makes a difference.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Good luck, Sue! I want this for you. You deserve adventures in foreign lands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mind says office, but my heart says freezer. Actually, my heart says belleh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
We had a lot of leftover candy -- we always buy too much, and light rain kept the numbers down a bit this year. (We seemed especially low on teenagers without costume.) Hubs cleaned out one of the veggie bins in the refrigerator for it. I think he has dreams of saving the leftovers for next year.
In other news, it's 9:15 in DC and still almost dark.

I've divided it in two: half to the office, half in the freezer.
ETA: time change is this weekend, right? I'm not entirely minding going to work in the dark, but several more months of it is going to get tiresome.

Yep, fall back! I can't wait.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Good luck, Sue!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I suck at flash photography. I would rather use natural light and push my camera way past its limits than try to figure out the proper way to light a scene.
This time of year, natural light isn't actually available at the time I want to take most of my pictures. And especially not when the time changes. I hate that.
But I have four lamps. I don't have to choose between natural light and flash, although those lights are hot as fuck and smell.
You need a very fast shutter/very sensitive light-catcher-thing, though, or subjects that stay very very still.
Fast lens kinda implies prime, and that takes a lot of choices away, or a lot of money. Also, it's hard to convince babies to stay still, but a little off camera flash can be not too traumatic for them.

Thanks you guys!
I survived! They asked seven fairly complex questions and I had two hours to answer. I swear I could have taken two hours to answer any one of them, so it felt like I just scratched the surface, but I managed to answer all of them. I only had about 5 minutes to read it all over, so I hope there aren't any embarrassing typos.
The HR guy said I would know the results in a few weeks. t /breath out

Punishingly Intricate
Sounds intense, Sue! Good luck!!!
We had a ton of bat people last night. Also, princesses. And a bunch of well-done creepy little zombies! Loads of kids between 530 & 730 & fun times drinking beer with the neighbors.
