One interview down, 2 to go. Guys, I've been 'on' for strangers for the majority of the past 4 days (I don't count breakfast with my friend in Durham or the drive) and I've got 2 more. I'm hosting the interviewees, so that means that after the interview(padding built in for questions, shuttles to other site, etc) & before lunch, show them around & chitchat. Unlike some of my colleagues, I don't just park them in the room with couches (which I'm appalled by, but not uncommon practice), I bring 'em back to my office and don't talk work, just normal stuff you'd do with a newly met stranger.I think I'm doing a really good job of it, but it's exhausting. But I feel it is only fair. Especially for this position, which is entry level, so nerves in abundance.

Also, this person is gonna be my minion. I gotta like you.

msbelle wants to move into my basement, but I need more distance than that. Not worried about her becoming housebound. You'll find a neighborhood that fits your need for interaction (even if it contains me, perfectly content to not speak to humans for days.)

(I mean, I am! But my neighborhood means I talk to at least one neighbor a day, if not six, even just casually. My cats won't have time to eat me before folks investigate if I dropped dead.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am most likely either moving to B'more or the greater LA area, likely the suburbs south of LA.

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

The move should be happening either fall/winter 2019 or early 2020.

Hm. I plan to be looking for a new job in earnest in 2019 and that might be facilitated by relocating. Something to think about.

-t, I'm so sorry about your friend.

I'm so excited about the Cohen warrants! And it's making Trump lose his shit completely. Which is good (because he's guilty as hell, who knows what all evidence Cohen has), but also bad, because he's going to bomb Syria or start another war or fire Sessions/Rosenstein/Mueller and precipitate a constitutional crisis.

I would really like for the crises to slow down and the indictments to step up.
