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.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.

This was, from all accounts, one of the Not All Departments.
There are others, too! I know a lot of people there. I'm really not great at selling myself the way they want people to sell themselves, though. Their questions you needed to write up a response to were a big basket of WTF.
I mean, I recognize that a large part of my problem is that I have yet to be able to figure out how to market myself and bitterly resent that it's necessary, but those were still BS questions to choose from.

Sorry. Job hunting sucks.
Here's an interview question I got once.
Let's say you have 8 pennies and 1 penny is lighter than the others. If you have a balance scale what is the minimum number of measures do you need to take with it to find the light penny?

Is the answer 4?
I hate job hunting and interviews, and dates, and auditions, and self-evals, and annual reviews. A trend maybe?
