I think the email was a standard form one and was intended for an in-person interview. I have to see if they can do a skype interview.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So now I have an interview with the UK National Archives on the day before my birthday.

Isn't that near Kew Gardens? Neat! Anyway, a job offer would be a great way to celebrate the week after your birthday. Good luck with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds cool, Sue!

I got 7 Yos right, but I feel I could have done better. The CEO came and walked behind me in the middle of it so I was thrown off.

Gud, does your wife get any mental health support? I mean, I'm a big fan of watching tv all weekend, but I think it's a little different with other people in your household and work to get done.

I got 7, too. I'm annoyed with myself for missing the Washington one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I missed both of the yos from Right hand man, I think! I am annoyed, too. Also, the first one I got right and I didn't even hear it!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oooh. I hope that is a fun experience, Sue! It's exciting from here.

Still do not need an alibi, work is still a flaming mess. So we'll see how that goes. Oh, hey, while I wasn't hitting post a thing got resolved! One out of I've-lost-count, but still.

I only got 6 yos!

This is hard to parse out of context.

That sounds exciting, Sue.

Do you guys think someone should be a Dean of something or for something? All of our Deans have titles like "Dean for Student Affairs" and I think it should be "Dean of Student Affairs". We also use "to" for Administrative Assistants. So I am Administrative Assistant to the XXXXXXXX Program. I think it is weird and off-putting. My boss is the Director of Program XXXXXXX. and our Dean is the Dean for XXXXXXXX.

"Dean of..." sounds better, but I don't think "Dean for..." would throw me if I heard it without someone pointing it out.

I'm thinking Dean is equivalent to Vice-President, so I like the "of" option. Admin works with "to", because you're an assistant to someone. If a Dean is a Dean "for" something, what is the action of Deaning?
