Welp, I didn’t get the job I interviewed for two weeks ago. Which is a bit of a bummer. I know there are plenty of people having a worse Wednesday, but I’m still a tad down about it.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

that sucks, calli. well, maybe the next one. I went to a disability webinar looking for a speaker for PDA, but I don't think she's quite it. Maybe if we get really stuck sometime.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Dylan (who is almost 19) attended a Seder in Boston with my brother's family, and since my nieces are 4 and 2 he wound up reading the 4 questions as the youngest literate person at the table.
I'm still usually the one who does the four questions at my family seder -- none of the cousins who have kids live close enough to come to the seder, so I'm the youngest at 45. I'm also the one leading the seder, which makes the whole thing not really make any sense.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aw Calli, I'm sorry.
When this ends it will end all the way. You'll pay off the credit cards you're now using and all of these bad feelings will disappear into the past.
