Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm a big fan of bite-sized pies.

Askye, you're being more than reasonable. Recovery~ma to your mother.

Sue, I'm glad you're safe.

Sheryl, I'm glad you have a short term plan and hope you can find a long term solution.

Referring back to an earlier conversation, my stomach tolerated Starbucks coldbrew fairly well but Dunkin Donuts coldbrew not at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A bite-sized pecan pie sounds perfect.

Applied for a job somewhat on a whim a couple weeks ago. Could be interesting but not sure I'd want it. Willing to find out more. They just called (yay) and informed me the first step is for me to record a video answering some questions. Wtf. Is this really the new way? Not just a telephone interview? Ugh.

Oh hell no.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tartlet.

Has the word lost all meaning, Tom?

Just spoke with a recruiter today about a job that sounds pretty interesting. She said she'd get back to me about Next Steps. If this is one, I'm not sure how interested I am.

Our wings are not tired.

Hmmm, tartlets!

and informed me the first step is for me to record a video answering some questions. Wtf. Is this really the new way?

One of the agencies that my son is working with had him do a video interview to show the prospective employers. My first reaction, and what I told him, was that that way the employers can see if he is white. My first impression still stands.

brillig

Will your cinematography be judged? The background? Will they be judging on whether someone is attractive enough to work there, without the hassle of having to see them in real life?
