Timelies all!
Yay, meara!
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I love the clear disposable bags.
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.

Why can't the world go to a nighttime existence in the height of summer? Does anyone really need to be out under the sizzling orb? An existence where I say it's "only" 93 degrees is not a happy one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ugh. I just spent 3½ hours cleaning, I’m exhausted, and yet my apartment? Still not clean. More of the same tomorrow.

I picked up my vegetables this morning and put everything away, including kitten-proofing the sweet corn on the counter. I went back out to get a haircut with a new stylist, which turned out fine. I walked 5 miles. I made corn, tomato, and cucumber salad. Now I'm decluttering my bedroom to make it easier to DUST ALL THE THINGS later on.
I need to figure out what I'm making for dinner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But my laptop is a Mac! Normally I wouldn't even have Office on it, just a clone, and I think it's weird to expect people to have a work-ready laptop. My home work machine is my desktop. I don't even know if they'll have the right cabling to set it up for display, that's how out of touch I am.
I'd rather a standard work PC rather than battling with OS X Office (still haven't found Save As, for the record). Odd, oddliness.
I have created a new login so I don't have to tidy up my normal stuff, but still...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My landlord is replacing the external, metal stairs in a neighboring apartment. It's great that he's up on repairs, but it's super noisy. So I spent most of today out and about: brunch, a coffee house, a winery, a produce stand (fresh corn for dinner!).
I've never had to bring a laptop to an interview.
