Did not get the job that I had 3 interviews for. On to the next one I have interview for next week.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Ugh, meara & msbelle, total empathy for both of you. On to better things (and/or people)!

Thrive to spite them
Well that sucks msbelle but I hope you get the right job soon.

Well, at least no 1.25 hr commute. And you made it a long way in.

Punishingly Intricate
Ugh, yeah, that commute would grow tiresome quickly.

Sigh. Person responded all "um, so is this a date? I'm not in a place to date right now sorry" like yeah, we made out but you weren't sure if this was a date???!?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm sorry, msbelle.
I'm sorry, meara, and I share your frustration. "Luckily" in I'm a grad school + work combo that barely lets me get sleep so dating cannot happen, but yeah, it is so frustrating.

I saw Jagged Little Pill last night. I think if you like Alainis you'll like it. The music is good. The performances are really good. There are some very cool things they do in the story-telling. My one gripe is that the following things are addressed in the show:
Climate change, gender identity, sexuality, rape, white privilege, inter-racial adoption, male privilege, opioid abuse, family dynamics/gender roles, class issues, academic pressure on youth, mental health stigma
It is a lot. Some is more organic and not stressed so much, but I think as big plot points, maybe they went one too many.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, meara. I'm sorry. You are awesome and deserve better.
Continuing job~ma, msbelle.
I locked my keys in the trunk of the car after getting groceries today and had to wait a half hour outside in the cold because my coat was also locked in the car. I'm so sick of my inability to do anything right lately.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
... I was going to say, "But what about....????" and couldn't come up with anything.
Edit: that was in response to msbelle, of course.
sj, be gentle with yourself.
