Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My reading of it leans significantly towards candidate B. What am I missing? Why is candidate A still so strongly in the running? Maybe that will help.

Because I am so backed up with work, I need someone to unbury me, and I feel like she will need little direction-- I can just hand her my mess and she will fix it for me. In my experience, only exceptional sophomores can figure out a job within parameters, but without specific instruction.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And is the *definite* short term part of it worth it? I mean, knowing you'll have to redo the process in a few months?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

On the other hand, an investment in training time for the sophomore will give you longer term help without having to go through the hiring process again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Dita made herself known! We are now hiding in the bathroom. I'm glad I didn't completely lose my shit because she totally did.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am actually realizing through this conversation that "B" would probably not be in the running if she didn't work for the research department.

Every time I have tried to go logical, it has backfired-- my job isn't really very fun, and I am the only person and they are the only student worker. Whereas in research, the work can be more fun, and even if it is boring work, there are always 5 or 6 people working in a big room and they talk and have fun.

Because books.

Phew! I'm just catching up now that I can see again. I'm glad you found Dita, Lee. Can you put her in a carrier until everything's settled down?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Lee, the cat's hiding hole that took me weeks to find was inside a swivel rocker. There was a hole in the bottom of the chair.

Oh, good! (That you found her and that you didn't lose your shit...)

I'm not sure I could get her into a carrier right now without physical damAge to one or both of us. The plan is to go help/ watch the movers unload and then come back for her. Hopefully by then she will be calmer
