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.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, god, it's going down to 5 degrees F tonight. And it's quite windy; I had to run out and rescue my trash bin from flapping its contents all over the drive.
Gonna turn up the heat in advance. Maybe the house won't get too cold. Heat pumps are not the most efficient method of heating.

UGH. Stupid post office. So, they sell either random boxes made by a random company, or "flat rate" USPS boxes. I though those came with tear off sticky strips like, say, most UPS boxes, but no. And when I got to the front of the line (because of course there was a long line) they said they didn't provide tape for their own boxes (I knew they didn't for the random other boxes, but not for their own flat rate ones??) and I could buy some for $3.50. Fuck that noise--I scribbled out the address I'd already written on the box and walked out. I"ll go to UPS--even if it's more than the $16 (!!) USPS wanted, it'll still be easier and probably a lot less of a wait in line.
