I see that Barb has checked in on FB; are all other Seattleistas accounted for?
Seattleistas: West Seattle is nowhere near the train, right?
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Nowhere near. It derailed an hour south of Seattle.
I did have a friend who was driving seattle to Portland this morning but luckily she left early enough that she was not there.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but I haven't seen my nieces on FB yet today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, I had to google the news. That's terrible.

I'm beginning to think a joint hiring campaign was not the best idea. Because every sane applicant is indicating interest in all open positions. And we're hiring entry level me & other mgrs are everything from entry to software engineers to career PhD. So I have to sift through a lot of overqualified/inapplicable submissions. And this is the first I'm the hiring mgr. I'm so out of my depth. And I disappear in 2 more days.
And I have a shitton of things to at least stabilize at work, and so many fucking people want to meet with me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My best candidate just withdrew from my hiring pool. BOOOOOO.
In other news about my job, I get forwarded semi-serious emails about Winkelvii and bitcoins.

I'm way too generous reading resumes. I need to lock down my hard criteria.
(Also, fastest swim in 6 weeks. Wee bit stressed.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I do have a tire pressure gauge in my pocket, though. So I have that going for me.
It's good to be prepared.
The photos of that derailment are terrifying. The stories I've read so far mention a controversy over switching to that route, including safety concerns, but I haven't seen anything saying what the specific concerns were.
I have been far too amused with the performance reports for ACC this year. One child has decided the show is all about him and keeps doing new things in his scenes. He has been talked to, his father has been talked to, a 2nd YP supervisor was added... nothing seems to help. This weekend the SM added a category to the performance report with this child's name.
In other ACC news, our Tiny Tim (different child) is adorable. [link] [link]
