Yay Aimee's grades! Yay Kristin's dad! Awesome news.
Yes, this!
Happy Birthday, Glamcookie! I hope you have a great year!
GC, I'm so glad your friends are okay, although it must be horrible to lose so much.
Two personnel matters today are going to make my head explode. One because I will have to suck it up and give someone an answer they don't want to hear (and I don't want to represent) and one because the person just doesn't get it despite the fact that it has been explained by me and the BigBoss more than once.
Happy GlamCookie Day! A good day to wear cute flats and get sassy haircuts.
GC - Happy Birthday, lovely!
Norah - I'm wishing you cupcakes and interesting beers, love. Sorry you're having to deal with this.
Tommyrot - Can't say I'd given much thought to either of the folks you link to one way or another, but I find myself thoroughly unsurprised in each case.
Oh - and, Empress, belated mad props on your grades!
Thanks for all the kudos for the grades. I worked hard for them. I graduated from high school with the minimum GPA allowable and flunked out of college the first time around. Feels good to be coming around to the fact that by jove, I ARE SMRTE PNTS!!
U R SMARRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
question for the hivemind: I'm applying for this job as the director of an international scholarship fund. They want five references, which I think is a lot. I have four solid work references, would it be horrible to add a personal reference? The job has an international focus, and this person can speak to my international experience, plus is the director of another non-profit. We've never worked together, though. What do you think?
According to my co-worker, no one can say, "Intriguing," without her thinking of me. I have co-opted the word.
Good luck, Vortex (yeah, I think the personal international experience should count for a reference)!
Happy Birthday, GC! Also, {{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}} so you have plenty of extra for your friends.
vw, can you ask for an assistant, or at least someone to spell you for a couple of breaks or something? Either way, here's hoping tomorrow will be better.
Nora, you are still in my thoughts. Words really don't help, do they?
