Yeah, Worf was a late addition to the cast, and ended up doing most of the asskicking that was intended to be Tasha's.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Which came first- the popularity of the banana clip or Geordi's visor.
Banana clips -- they were EVERYfrickwhere when I was in high school, and TNG started my first year of college.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
they slap some silver spraypaint on a banana clip and call it a visor.
I always thought it looked more like a car's air filter.

Heh. Me too.
So I talked to the HR person, and she said 3 veterans are on the list ahead of me, claiming that they have the Really Very Specialized Experience that the job requires. And by "specialized" I mean, maybe half a dozen people in the country do this work.
I can't do anything at this point, just wait. They have a 90-day window to hire off this announcement, so either they re-calculate the scoring or they wait a month or two and ask those guys if they really want to be considered for the job (this would have been easier three years ago, before the economy tanked). Meanwhile, I stay in my contract position and hope I don't get sick, since I have health insurance but no doctor.

So, the veterans lie on the applications too!
I am having a hard week with the job uncertainty in our lives. I do not really deal with uncertainty well. At all. If things suck, but I know what they are, I can cope, but not knowing what's going to happen is killing me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Everybody lies. But you have to submit a resume, too, so if the resume doesn't substantiate your answers to the questions, you shouldn't score as well. Me, I'm worried that my last-minute edits to my resume (because there was only room for 3000 characters in the box) screwed me up.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the freeways are particularly accurate. How they don't have LA's 405 is beyond me.
They needed to have an area for "telephone on hold with Comcast"

They don't have 285 either. The map is notably lacking a place where people are packing and moving.
