Ooh, like at Kristin/Drew's wedding when Nanita said she always thought of me as a kind and gentle person and everyone who'd known me from WX/TT just burst out laughing. GOOD TIMES. (No seriously, it was hilarious. Maybe not mallomar-level hilarious, but definitely on my list of Top In Person Buffista Moments.)

Oh, that was funny, yes. Dang, good times.

I am floundering because I don't have enoug work at the moment but don't want to ask for more because they wouldn't give it to me until a time when I would then be TOO busy. Ugh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have still not cleaned the bathroom. Go on, act surprised.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hire me instead?

Sadly, I walked into these two finalists and was told to pick one. I am hiring another position, but that one needs fundraising experience.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, that interview went pretty well, I think. At the end, they said that they'll get back to me by the end of January, and that if I'm offered another job before then, that I should let them know, which seems like a good sign. It's still a big university in a rural area, but much closer to actual cities than where I am now.

I cleaned the bathroom! And I cleaned the TV stand and put away dishes. I should figure out what I'm going to clean next.

Uncle update - it was cardiac arrest. They have warmed him up and taken him off sedation. He has not woken up (as of this morning)but he's stable.

Yikes, -t. I hope he recovers quickly.

Quick hivemind question! In a job application, If you are supposed to put in the address of a previous employer, and you know that office has since closed, what do you list? Corporate headquarters, even though that's at the other end of the state, or across the country?

I would probably put the address I actually worked at, even if it's not the office any more. Because I hate that kind of application.

I really hate these applications where you have to cut and paste all the stuff from your resume into it, and it loses all your formatting. Argh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I guess I shouldn't complain about the rapid temperature drop here, since it's dry and most of the snow we got washed away with the rain. Still don't like it....
