Oh, tommy. Is there a point where they'll say "Yes. We have him in a bed in hospital X" so you can know where you're aiming for? Or maybe you could just drive around doing good deeds and then leaving town until everything is settled.

Either way, best of health to your father, man.

I need some advice with interview wear. Well, I need to find out what I fit in first, butI only have one vaguely traditional suit (least likely to fit). Two of my outfits are vintage dresses, empire cut, with jackets in contrasting colours--one has a lining that matches the skirt portion of the dress, for instance). Am I doing myself a disservice not wearing a matching jacket and skirt? The third outfit is that, but Cake ("short skirt, long jacket").

One of my recruiters last time round asked me not to wear one of the dresses to an interview. And I got the job. Not sure if related...

Bear - do bears regularly walk around like this?

I'm not sure why all the comments about the video format when it's a video of a bear walking on it's hindlegs MORE than on all fours!

I hope your Dad is OK, tommyrot, and that he ends up in a deterministic location.

I have no dress advice for ita.

Kale, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are all the same species of plant.

They're wrong. Cauliflower is a species of plant cross-bred with Satan.

How short is the skirt, ita?

And can you post pix? That would make it easier to decide.

B.org is in the Joss bio? Weird!

Strix, here they are (obviously ironing needs to happen, look better on, etc).

Dresses:

ita, I think the second dress would be good for an interview.

Thanks, sj. Of course, the third is my favourite...but it's the one that needs the most ironing.

I like the black-and-white dress, ita. I might hire you just for wearing that.

Bear - do bears regularly walk around like this?

Until now, I would have said positively that bears don't walk on their hind legs for more than a few steps unless they've been trained and encouraged to do so, like in a circus. So, yeah. A Bear Named Sasquatch.

Yeah, I'm with zen and sj, the others aren't really interview wear, it looks like. (I mean, hard to say in some cases when on a hanger vs on a body, but).
