But Peeta's also blond, isn't he? I was under the impression that they were all white, but that the poorer sections of the district tended toward more swarthy coloring, and Kat took after her father, whereas Prim took after her mother.
This is me. I also honestly wasn't thinking much about race as I was reading.
Timelies all!
Bleah. The muscles in my shoulder/upper back are sore, probably from pulling racks out the liquid nitrogen freezer.
I love how we all are reading the book in the same way, and yet there's some big crowd out there with a totally different reading.
So my contract is in place, but they waited until 4:30 on the Very. Last. Day. to award it.
WTF people.
I say leave work and go celebrate with a drink!
Wait, so does that mean you can stop applying for your own job now? Also, yay! (Right?)
Consuela, the 'wow' just never stops with them.

No, I think it still means she's contracted instead of just having the job outright.

What Hec said. Just means I can keep working while the wheels of the actual hiring process grind slowly away.
I went to my boss today and begged him to find out whether they were actually going to announce my position next Friday. Because if they do, I'm screwed.
Next Friday at 6AM I fly to Madrid, and I'm in Spain for 2 weeks (don't tell the local burglars). And two weeks is exactly the length of time the position will be announced for.
And I'm only bringing my Kindle Fire, which is a crappy interface for typing, so if I'm forced to update my resume on that! Yikes.
And yes, I will have to update my resume again in order to make sure it includes all the buzzwords in the position announcement, which I haven't seen.
GAH. But I'm kind of convinced that's what will happen, because this whole thing has been such a clusterfuck.
Oh, I hope it doesn't happen that way, Consuela. I like typing on the Kindle much more than my phone, but updating a resume on it would be pretty awful.
