Burrell's right about what it means, I suspect.

I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Flea, I interviewed with the library at the University of C-U IL about 18 months ago. They flew me in for a face-to-face and general tour. Didn't get it, obviously, but the people seemed nice. They were pretty straightforward about ongoing consolidation at the time, but only when I reached the f2f stage. Another thing to keep in mind is that, while they have a defined benefit pension option, it is nigh criminally underfunded. That could change over the next 20-30 years, but it's still a gamble. Also, they kept mentioning that there was a train that could take you to Chicago for $15, and I kinda wondered why a ticket out of town would be considered such a strong selling point. A friend of mine from IL said that C-U is a delightful, lefty liberal town(s), but she's been in NC for 20 years now. I would have taken the job in a hot minute if offered, fwiw.

I knew about the state budget situation. But the thing is, with my spouse employed in a good federal job and my kids in good schools and my homeownership, this was going to have to be a really good offer to convince me to move. And I HATE being lied to. I think I will write to ask for clarification before withdrawing my candidacy, but they'd have to have a pretty good tap-dance to convince me not to do so at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I would think you'd want to have that clarified before even going there, given everything.

Is WGN basic cable, or broadcast?
I'm gonna say Cable.
While lying in bed not quite willing to disturb the cat to get up even though I should have some minutes before, I took one of those quizzes, this one to tell me if I was Type A or B. It said I was definitely Type A. I find this hilarious. And laughing about it disturbed the cat so I could get up.

Thanks for the encouragement and advice everyone.
Sorry about the news Dana.
My new coasters for my oddly nice work desk arrived, so there's that.
