Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Yeah, id go with pdf for a resume.

Is there a word for when you have to change your password and then keep putting the old one in because you are so used to it? There should be.

I forgot to check the bottle of ibuprofen I packed, and just discovered it's almost empty. The 24 pill bottle I just bought at an airport kiosk was $12.

This happened to me at Midway recently and at two separate kiosks they had no painkillers at all that weren't nighttime version. I ended up taking an alka seltzer I had in the bottom of my bag.

Oy. And nobody sells contact lens solution at O'Hare so the best you can get is eye drops for $9.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My apartment is being re-wired, which doesn't seem to be overly intrusive? I guess it's because my mother was also doing work in her kitchen, but her whole place was a disaster for a month. ANYWAY, I've met the lead electrician guy, and I thought he was American, but now I think maybe I just don't remember his accent, because what he's left in my kitchen are tea bags and evaporated milk. That's not an American, right??

My reliably amusing co-workers are being incensed at each other at the combination of chicken and mayo on sandwiches. "It's a sandwich! It's not like I'm eating it with a fork, or something!" "Still! Dude!"

{{{tommyrot}}} It's good to see you, sorry about the job situation.

Is there a word for when you have to change your password and then keep putting the old one in because you are so used to it? There should be.

Oh, I need that word. Not clever enough today.

Some places specify Word .docs in their application process, but I don't know how prevalent that is. I'm remembering that it was places that would let you upload a resume but then ask you to fill in basically all the same information in their required form, so I hope that all of that is less common than it was.

Or, you know, American sandwiches. They usually have mayo!

All the fast food chicken sandwiches, right?
