I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I feel like I'm in a bad mood and don't know why. Sort of like that Friends episode where Phoebe is mad at Ross because of something she doesn't remember, and it turns out he did something bad in her dream.

Grump.

I have been shortlisted for a job in the The Hague. Next step written exam to further cull the herd of candidates. Cue excited flailing alternating with panicked flailing.

Also, my bra is too high cut for the dress I am wearing. I am not used to having male coworkers in such close quarters so there's been a lot of awkward clothing adjustment. I still think I've already flashed them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that sounds cool, Sue! Someone from the archives here recently went (home) to the UK for some EU job -- could there be any connection?

It's a with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. They're a UN organization. (A lot of the EU jobs are restricted to residents of EU countries.)

Oh, wow.

Yeah. I really don't know much about them...I probably should do some reading up.

Um, they just won the Nobel Peace Prize?

And for some reason that just triggered me to figure out what song was playing in the Royal Farms on Saturday night. Somehow related to one of the cashiers having a whole little dance routine to it.

....I don't understand my brain sometimes.

Ooh, that would be pretty awesome!

I do not want to fly to Denver in a middle seat. I also am not sure how I'm supposed to get everything I need done on time. And I don't get back from this visit until late Friday night...and have to leave again Sunday. Boo. But I am looking forward to next Thursday when I go on vacation for a couple days. Can't come soon enough.

That much I know.
