Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Later tonight I have two dates...wish me luck that the timing doesn't go horribly wrong!

All I can picture is some Three's Company-esque scenario where Jack Tripper managed to make dates with 2 different women at the same time and so he had to run back and forth between tables at the Regal Beagle and try to keep them from finding out.

I hope your dates are less sitcom-y.

Skydiving and almost immediately two dates in one night? You are living on the edge, meara! Good luck to your sister.

Mmm, tile.

So taking your own hardware and software to interviews isn't weird?

Seems weird to me, but I don't know that I've had those sorts of interviews, actually. So.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It seems super weird to me.

I hope your dates are less sitcom-y.

I mean, for meara's sake, I hope that... but not for our sake!

I am secretly hoping for an Abed-style meara-meets-a-third-person-who-is-a-better-match situation, frankly.

First attempt at deviled eggs with my new disposable bags and fancy decorating tips a success! Pancetta got stuck in the tip, and I thought I had the largest one, so in the future I will try it with the coupler and no tip. This time, just cutting a slightly bigger hole and using just the bag, no tip, was fine. And I love the clear disposable bags.

That seems REALLY weird to me. Being asked for samples, sure. Bringing your own equipment and creating something for the interviewer? No, I've never run into that.

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

Timelies all!

Yay, meara!

So taking your own hardware and software to interviews isn't weird? How does it normally go down?

Seems weird to me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If I'm going to be asked to create something during the interview though, I'd probably prefer to use my own equipment. The time to learn the quirks of their set up is maybe not in the middle of an interview. Still, apart from basic software testing at agencies, I've also never run into needing to do a demonstration during an interview.

Yeah, they are great!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

No, just tiling the whole bathroom. We only have one bathroom, so redoing it is a logistical issue, plus lots of dough, probably.
