Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In its defense, Gardens of Time has an actual story line and characters that are surprisingly well-written (considering the whole thing is in second-person dialogue). Also I find hidden object games to be kind of zen-inducing.
Yeah, I don't care so much about the story line. I just like finding things! Which sometimes fucks with my head, when I'm walking down the street and literally thinking, "Lamppost, graffiti, bike..."
Am having a super goddamned fancy salad for lunch with pickled beets AND a pickled egg.
Email is ok, especially if you can't put the handwritten ones in the mail today.
Email is especially handy if you met with people in groups -- you can send one note to the group and not have to come up with a hundred different ways to say "Thanks for meeting with me and I want the job."
I have many tasks of minor onerosity to accomplish today. Need to clear my desk, so to speak, so I can focus on the big things. And my writing has fallen off, which is making me unhappy, so I need to clear off time for that as well.
But kids are being great this am and giving me time to get stuff done. Yay for little victories, right?
I am ... weirdly opposed to interacting with strangers on the internet. That sounds completely idiotic, I know, but you guys aren't strangers. Everyone else ... is.
We're just strange.
Grins beatifically.
We're just strange.
Oh, yes. In a good way, though.
What is the best horror story you can come up with in two sentences. : AskReddit
My faves:
I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”
and:
I just saw my reflection blink.
Sent 11 emails out individually. Already received responses from three: Chief HR Officer, Vice President, and President of the company. VP said "[I] believe there are opportunities that you can bring your passion and expertise for our mutual benefit. I’m sure you will be hearing from T shortly with a possible next step." CHRO said they'll be in touch early next week.
I think this is a good sign? Oh please, please let it be a good sign.
Amy, I totally agree that everyone else = strangers. You all are...you.
