Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats Kate and family!

Through persistence, I finally got through to a leasing office and got the number of a leasing agent. I'm going to contact her and we shall see if any of these 1-bedrooms are still available in a couple of days (ha ha, they probably won't be):

I left a message at the leasing office here:

AND I talked to a guy about a move estimate.

Edit: Now I'm going to fuck off into this good night and go shoe shopping.

The status is NOT quo.

CONGRATS to Kate P and family! Welcome to the world, Jane!

And tommyrot, I’m very happy for you.

Thanks, Nora! That's a good spot. Would have been convenient for us when H was working at the end of the Causeway.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Hooray Kate and baby Jane and M. and Rose!!! YAY.

I had my first job interview in 16 years today. I think it went well. Or, at least, I'm going to try and keep myself from obsessing over whether it went well.

Question: post-interview follow-up notes, yea or nay? The Internet says yea, but I've been interviewing a lot of people lately, so speaking as someone on the other side of the table, IDGAF whether any of the candidates I've interviewed sends me a note or not. But I guess I should err on the side of, "It can't hurt."

Punishingly Intricate

Congratulations, Kate P!!! I also love the name Jane!

Good luck with all the move stuff, Shrift! I wonder what my old place, a 4-bedroom flat with garage space, in the Mission goes for now?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations Kate and family!

Good luck, amyth! I've never sent post-interview notes.
