Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

It's wrong of me to think of any job interview that doesn't end with an on-the-spot job offer to be a failure, right?
I mean, I know how things work in the real world, where there's HR and boss managers have to meet you first and stuff, but really, that's what my heart wants.

Unless you are interviewing with people who you've worked with before, I'm pretty sure that's very unlikely to happen. If there's an HR department involved, then I'd say it never happens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought of this just now for no good reason, but: When I was at the band retreat the other weekend, the bathrooms were all-gender. There were a couple of stalls, a couple of showers, and a urinal kind of tucked next to the stalls. I was surprised that men would just go use the urinal when I was (for example) brushing my teeth! We were facing away from each other and I wouldn't have seen anything anyway, but I just thought it was interesting. And not something I bet a woman would do if there were an equivalent situation.
Men, what say you?

Our wings are not tired.
I can say from the marathons I did that men weren't shy about public urination on the sides of the route.

I don't like using the facilities when other men are in the room, but as Jeff Goldblum says, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, potential interview with company that hires for big bank, which would have a downtown commute. Poor poor me, but sigh. Fucking capitalism.

I have an interview coming up Monday. I like where I'm working so I'm going in conflicted. They are IoT so I have specialized skills they could use and it could be more money. It's scheduled to be four hours long and it's a three hour drive to get there (where I'd actually be working would be closer than my current workplace though) so I'll be putting in ten hours to do it.

Question! I hear that IoT as a phrase is "out." But I don't know what's replaced it! Is that true??
Anyway, good luck with discernment for both of those job opportunities.
