Well, I finally got notified that I did not get that job, the one I interviewed for in September.

Booooo.

All from the attitude in the office this morning. To say that I am vibrating with rage would not be wrong.

Ugh! It sounds like it probably is time for you to move on regardless.

Sorry, flea. And boooo, msbelle. They don't deserve you.

Also, was Feral Boy part of the Civic-Minded Five, or am I misremembering?

He certainly was!

I would die without my broiler! I use it all the time.

Sorry, flea. That is sucky news to have half a year to receive. Of course they are completely wrong and I personally would hire you for just about anything except chauffeur.

msbelle, I would like to grant you the power of laser eyes today so you can singe their eyebrows with your rage.

ION, we did an investor pitch last week and it looks like we're going to get money to try to finish our deal. Because we are out here starving while the bigass companies take their sweet time about doing what they do.

I'm sorry, flea. That sucks.

Thanks for the love for my kid's sign. It was DW's call to do that one. Here it is for those not on FB: [link]

I love how the major theme of the first two episodes of Yuri!!! on Ice is "OMG there are TWO people named YURI!"

Also, was Feral Boy part of the Civic-Minded Five, or am I misremembering?

He certainly was!

Awwww YEAH.

I am happy to report that the person they hired has a much better resume than mine - she was the librarian at the American Academy in Rome. I don't know her, and I have no idea why she wants to move to Cincinnati, but she's probably pretty good.

jeeeesus christ, just discovered that our bank's bill payment has been sending things a day or two late. As in, a day or two after the due date.

*headdesk*

I know I'm about the only person watching Emerald City, but there was a bit on the last episode I wanted to share. Glinda is very straitlaced, provides female advisors to the Wizard, said advisors quite nun-like. The Witch of the West runs a brothel, and her brand of magic is far more sensuous. Dorothy runs into the boy Tip, who is being held captive by a witch in the countryside, who insists he takes a potion every day. Dorothy helps Tip escape with his friend Jack, but when Tip goes longer than a day without the potion, he becomes a girl, and it turns out she was born a girl, and she has no idea why the witch wanted her to be a boy. She has spent all her life as a boy, and she's not at all happy at discovering how the world treats girls.

She meets Glinda and Mistress West, who offer her a choice: join Glinda's order, learn anything she wants to, never be touched by anyone, possibly become powerful, or go with West, experience pleasure and forgetfulness. Tip sneers at both of them: "So, you're saying that my only choices as a girl are to be a nun or a whore?" Glinda and West shift awkwardly. West then shrugs: "We get to sleep late?"

I'm watching Emerald City, though I haven't gotten to the most recent one yet.

That is not how a bill payment service is supposed to work, Dana's bank.

I guess that is some consolation, flea. I like the librarian superhero plan.

Love the sign, Glam!
