3 interviews down, 3 to go (that we know of, Ive got 25 more resumes to go through.) I think they all are great candidates, but each had a minor downside. One might not be a long termer(grad school hopeful); one hit all the right buttons, but cannot start until June,; one is perfect on paper and highly self motivated and loves data mgmt, but was clearly nervous & harder to draw out. We'll see. Boss was impressed with our picks.

I put two job offers in motion today! Thank god, because I need to get those people on the team. Two men, which is weird for me -- there hasn't been a man on my team in a long time, and I've never actually hired a man ever!

Of course!

Did you see Great Family Cook-Off, where Nadia's one of the hosts?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I think I needs Ghost Radar app, because that sounds delightfully ridiculous.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Nothing paranormal has happened on any of the ghost tours I've been on (hey, I frequently vacation in Eureka Springs and the haunted hotels are the ones with the most character there!), but they're a fun way to spend an evening. I think the closest I've come is feeling a chill when exiting the Seance Room at the Winchester Mystery House, and that might have just been a microclimate thing due to the darkened attic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There were many stories about ghosts at the Bonstelle Theatre in Detroit, but I only had one instance that felt...different. There is a room in the dome where a few very rarely needed things are stored. I had been in there before, but one time I went in the light wouldn't turn on (which doesn't phase me if I know where things are) and I suddenly had a very strong, distinct impression that I did NOT belong there. It was so strange because I had totally been on task and TCOB until that instant. The next time I went in there everything was fine.

Still, I feel like when Mordor sends us Orcs, they aren't sending their best.

I've never understood this idea. Mordor isn't sending them, for one. And I would think the Orcs trying to find a better life outside of Mordor would actually be the go-getters.
