'War Stories'
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.
Good luck on BOTH your houses!
The LA real estate market is as crazy as NYC, so I feel your pain. (On the plus side, it meant we got over a dozen offers for the coop we were selling. On the down side, we were competing with dozens of other offers for every house we liked in the Hudson Valley.)
If only we had a house to sell. It's so totally a sellers market right now. So far both of our counters have wanted us to do things like waive the appraisal contingency or waive the finance approval contingency. There is a lot of pressure to move all of the risk over to the buyer.
A plague of success on both your houses, ND!
-t Mac is fine by himself, but it means he would have to get better about feeding himself. In fact, he should really be working part time, but he will not get off his ass and apply.
I would like to only add 8-12 hours of part time work, but realize it could end up more than that.
That sounds like a pretty reasonable plan to me, then.
I just applied at Kohls.
One of my coworkers has apparently worked there part-time (or maybe full-time in addition to working here?) for quite a while. I haven't talked to her about it, but it must be bearable as she keeps doing it.

Can't say it any better than this.
Ridiculous work whining: how much do I hate installing multi-step authentication and company portal software on my phone? So, so much.
Cover-letter writing question - if I'm applying for a job that, on paper, is below my current seniority level and not in my field of expertise, is it better to gloss over that or call it out? ("I'm amazing, interview me" vs "I know my resume isn't what you were expecting, but here's why I'm amazing, interview me.")
