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.

Work emails: I just got this from our copywriter who is truly awesome.

If you’re receiving this email, it’s because I work with you and/or work on projects for you fairly regularly. Or maybe I just like the cut of your jib. Either way, I’m going to be on my honeymoon starting two weeks from today, and I’ll be out for around two weeks. Less vaguely, that’s date – date. If you think you may have need for some sweet, sweet copy during that time, please let me know as soon as possible so I can try and take care of it before I leave. I’ll be in deepest Africa with no connection to work email, most likely riding lions and such.

I’ll also be out Friday, since it’s the day before my wedding and I allegedly have to rehearse walking 10 feet down an aisle and standing reasonably still for 15 minutes.

In my absence, please direct any requests for copy to His Boss and any social media requests to My Boss. Because both of them seemed like they needed more work.
