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!!
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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?

I say yes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sounds reasonable to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
According to my co-worker, no one can say, "Intriguing," without her thinking of me. I have co-opted the word.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm really tired of the swine flu panic. It's been on the front page of the paper and it's the lead item in every news cast. One guy wrote in to the paper saying he'd been reading about the flu epidemic of 1918 and thinks people are too complacent about it ... so he went out and bought supplies of masks, medicines, and food ... for six months. argh
Maybe I'm just ignoring the problem, but how much of this is an actual problem and how much of it is the media needing something to make a fuss about?

From what I gather, its a POTENTIAL problem. We're taking steps now (school closings, tracking the virus, developing a vaccine) to prevent the virus from running amok and mutating into something wildly virulent and deadly. Right now, its just the regular amount of virulent and deadly.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! My sweetie and I took the day off and are heading out for b'fast at Hugo's and then to LACMA for the Pompeii exhibit. I feel bad celebrating when my friends more than likely have lost everything. They don't know for sure, but it seems highly likely. I want to do something but there's really nothing to do at this point.
