Does anyone happen to know what "skill in managing program services" might be a euphemism for in a job listing?
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Debet, in the non-profit world, that would be code for managing decreasing resources and increasing service demands - basically finding a way to maintain or expand programs without sufficient funding. It may mean something different in the corporate or academic world.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Social services context? That sounds like any of my supervisors, from individual location managers to regional managers - supervising and training direct care staff, writing reports on the needs and progress of the persons served, coordinating meetings for the interdisciplinary teams of persons served, writing outcomes/objectives/programs for persons served, etc.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I thought it might be something like lcat was saying, as this is a non-supervisory position. So I wrote a bit about determining essential services for a given individual.

Good news about the interview, Strix! Fingers crossed! And the image of you running around naked and dripping and screaming into the phone at your husband while a realtor peeks through the window on the front door just cracks me up!

Daaaaaily goth check-in from Denmark! I go home tomorrow, which will be good. I've been having a great time here, but I miss that curmudgeon I'm married to, my cats, and the rest of my wardrobe.

jilli- I had bread and chocolate for dinner last night in your honor.
Well, inspired by you.

My husband (who is Belgian, obviously), eats bread and chocolate for breakfast several times a week. My mind boggles. I just cannot bring myself to embrace such weird foreign behavior. ;)

Our wings are not tired.
This bread and chocolate thing for breakfast could work. Although I have neither in the house. Oatmeal again then.
I really don't want to go to the office, but I have worked at home all week and really should. Sigh.

I have lost 10 lbs in the past two weeks. Now I have another 40 to go, but still. Like most things in my life I hate doing it, but I like having done it.
