Happy birthday, Nora!
Sleep interrupted by Aunt Flo so I have another day of not getting up 'til noon. Going to make an effort to go on a walk with my dad, though.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Punishingly Intricate
probably make an appointment for Ben's bum foot at A.I. Dupont again. They're sliding scale, and he was there as a baby, so maybe that won't be too bad.
I was there as a baby too! (Born with hip displasia...just like an elderly german shepherd.) It's actually one of my first memories, being carried down the hall there.
Oh my god, I knew it
Wait...knew what? That she'd dispute the results?
In stupid work news, I have one developer for my project who I need for, seriously, like 125% of his time in the next month. And another project is saying they need him for 100% of his time this month too. NUTS! Who knows how this is supposed to work.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, and interview ~ma, smonster!
Sorry you found out here! Can't talk about it in office, natch.
Thank you, javachik and Vortex. It's an in-person interview (position starts here, then moves to NOLA) but I know I speak too fast sometimes anyway. I like that "metrics of success" thing, that is pretty key.
Damn, I should probably remove my green nail polish prior, huh? Interviewer is a bit of a Bubba, apparently. And I did such a good job on it, too. I wonder how dressed up I should get for a construction position? I have a black not-too-fancy suit I can wear.

Check this out. An online kerfuffle (dog fancy) leads to lawsuits.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, I misread and thought it was a phone interview! Go get 'em, Smonster!

Yup. Kinda expected that regardless of the margin, if she loses, she won't go gracefully.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have a feeling only the lawyers are gonna come out ahead on this one.

unfortunately, yes. You can be cool and funky after you sign on the dotted line. Now is the time to appear trustworthy. If the interviewer is a good ol' boy, play to that. Take off the green polish, wear heels, a light colored blouse (dare I say pink if you have it). Yes, I know it's a contruction position, but they still want you to be a "lady"

PA Homeland Security gave names of anti-drill activists to drilling company
Pennsylvania Homeland Security has been spying on anti-drilling activists, taking down names of attendees at meetings and even a screening of a documentary on drilling; these dossiers on peaceful protesters are then supplied to Marcellus Shale, a drilling company. The State Homeland Security Director James Powers justifies the snooping on meetings and information sessions because activists' "presence may spark something else. [I don't want to see public meetings] escalate to physical criminal acts."
I've read the PA Governor has apologized for this.
