Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So, I got the job. Start date is September 21, after I come back from vacation.
I'm kind of numb, actually...

It is not earth logic as we know it, but apparently if something is Serious Business, we should not laugh at any aspect of it. At least one commenter saw making fun of government employees who used their work e-mails as part of Republican efforts to bash government.
Wow, some people have really weird points of view.
Congrats, Consuela! I hope this is a good development for you.
Yay consuela!!!
