But pretty much any man in a dark suit and sunglasses will look like either a Matrix agent or a Blues Brother, depending on build.

Now I wanna see a Matrix / Blues Brothers crossover movie. Just a bunch of guys in dark suits and sunglasses fighting. And Carrie Fisher with a flamethrower.

where she told me she was to go home after working for me, and she told the other department she was staying late for me.

that seems odd. Less odd than what I thought it was originally - telling each dept. she was working for the other. Still - odd?

They were lending her to me for an hour (and they were paying her), so when the hour was up I wanted to make sure she went back to them. She said, "I am going home after this, so I am just going to finish up your work". Then she left. Then her supervisor from the other department came and asked me where she was and when I told her she went home, other department supervisor said she had emailed her to tell her she was staying a little late here. I should probably talk to that supervisor before I make my decision, but I hate going down in that area because the student I fired works for them as well.

Perkins - I'm so sorry.

msbelle: congratulations!

Sophia - it sounds very odd to me too. What are the other candidates like? Or are they a complete unknown?

But unbuttoned shirts don't look like the Matrix agents to me, and without sunglasses, he's just a dressed down lawyer/sales guy.

Except Asian. Ergo dangerous. And unsexed.

I'd been reading up on PACs myself, so this Colbert/Stewart stuff is fucking fascinating. And absolutely terrifying. I'm so glad they're doing this, but I'm pretty sure no one who really really needs to know is paying attention.

Perkins, I'm so sorry.

He looks like a gangster and someone who'd fight Neo in The Matrix. What does that last one even mean? Sure, if he was wearing sunglasses, I could kind of get it, but...

Looks like average Asian dude in a suit to me.

OTOH, I know the guy who owns the Pinkberry franchises in Chicago and he is an MMA fighter.

What are the other candidates like? Or are they a complete unknown?

I like the other candidates, but they are all second semester seniors, so I would only have them for about 3 months and then I would have to go through this again.

Also, I got really good use out of the 'perfect or late' question-- although they answered it as students. But the one candidate who answered "It must be perfect-- I just always ask the professor for an extension" got herself eliminated.

Sorry about your cat, Perkins.

Black rice vermicelli seemed really neat in theory, but in practice it turned out an awful combination of slimy and too chewy. Add in that after boiling its translucent purple appearance becomes very reminiscent of earthworms, and it's a big plate of Do Not Want with pesto sauce and tiger shrimp on top.
