Mal ,'The Train Job'
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.
At my sister's house today. Took her for her 2nd shot today. Not as easy as my side. We were there hours. But done!
I'm sorry, Hil. It is so much harder at a distance.
Sending ~ma for all things to turn Matilda's way.
Many wishes for happiness in your new digs, JenP!
Congratulations on your new place, JenP!
I am a little ascared to try and make Mayo! But maybe tomorrow with my stick blender.
Hil, I hope your local group can help. It seems so hard to be so far away.
Thanks, all!
Sophia, I've made it successfully with a stick blender before. You can do it!
You can get good results making mayo with a stick blender and not being super careful with the traditionally fiddly bits - you don't necessarily have dribble in a thin stream of oil while you blend, , for example, but can basically put everything in a jar and blend it up and still get mayonnaise. Google "easy homemade mayo" and enjoy!
Hec, I have my fingers crossed that something comes through for Matilda.
She's got a Zoom job interview at 5:20 PST! Wish her some -ma, Buffistas! She needs a lift.
I'm so sorry, Hil. How incredibly difficult. The distance and being cut off from the rituals that sustain you make the loss so much harder.
25 minutes to the interview! Matilda spent some time fiddling with the lighting to get it just right.
Interview~ma!
Good luck, Matilda!!
The interview went pretty well.
She was stumped on the first question - "What are your assets?" - because she's naturally very modest and hates to brag about herself.
I told her I would teach her some ways to address this question in the future without sounding braggy.
But she did much better when they asked about specific scenarios. (She has, after all, done a lot of camps, and dealt with a fair amount of kids both in babysitting and CIT training.)
They said she could send them an email if she had anything further to say.
And after we talked about it we thought there were three things she would like to address which didn't come up in the interview. So I told her how to do a follow-up email, and we made sure she wrote everything in her own voice, and she sent that in.
I also taught her how to do a subject header that would allow somebody in their department to properly route her response.
