I just watched the highlights, and holy shit, what a game. I'm kind of glad I didn't have to live through it as a fan. The Saints' NFC championship game was stressful enough for a long time.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The author re-submitted the reference list, totally different from the first, and she accepted the new list without updating the cites and then alphabetized it. Might as well have thrown them at a wall. I ended up not even knowing which list was the right one to follow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
she rearranged a list of references without changing the corresponding citations. So now the references are all mixed up. She claims she didn't know they were linked.
I physically recoiled when I read this. What. The. Shit, assistant???

Seriously! How do you get through college without doing a paper with references in it? This is the kind of thing that blindsides me, I wouldn't have even thought to tell her not to do that, because who would do that?? She does learn from her mistakes, though, at least.

Welp, rejected for the most recent job I applied/phone screened for, damn it.
I'm so sorry, Plei. If it's the company I think it is (from your FB posts), I made it through 3 phone screens and they flew me to Seattle for a brutal all-day interview and then did not hire me even though I was perfect for the job. They called me again for the same damned position months later and blew me off after the first phone screen. Screw them. Plus I hear the work/life balance there is awful. So here's to finding something great!

I fell asleep watching the game. Very happy to see all the Cubs fans celebrating today.
I had a horrible dream about being laid off. There is supposed to be a large round of layoffs today/tomorrow and I hadn't realized how on pins and needles I am about this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Plus I hear the work/life balance there is awful.
Anyone who had the opportunity to hire Plei or Glam and failed to do so is clearly out of their freaking minds, but I still have to put in a kneejerk Not All Departments on behalf of the mothership here.
