I just interviewed two people, and remembered one of my issues as an interviewer: When I like the person, I'm done in 20 minutes. Which doesn't really seem fair to the person who came all this way...
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

I have interviewed student workers that I liked in 5 minutes! It is very embarrassing. I think they think they are not hired, but I often hire them. Of course, my requirement for student workers is mostly that I like them!

Because books.
Jesse, you love crosswords, yes?

I do! (Although I haven't done one in an age.)

I am glad I'm not alone. This was two finalists for an entry-level position, so seriously I was mostly looking for vibe, since they were both qualified. And both white women. I seriously cannot hire one more white woman, and yet? Might have to.

Do you want "Cunning Crosswords: 75 Challenging Puzzles," which is a NY Times thing, edited by Will Shortz? I didn't notice the "challenging" part when I bought it, and they're all too frustrating for me, since I tend to do them at night when I'm tired. There are maybe two in the whole book with a few words completed.

Okay! I just ran over to Garrett's and picked up a gallon of cheese popcorn for my dad, so I think all of my Christmas shopping is now sorted. My out of office message is on. My train leaves in 80 minutes.
I'm pretty sure I have presents, my eyeglasses, and my drugs. I'm so exhausted from being out every night this week that both of my eyes are twitching from the tired.
