So, I'm doing the job application thing. And I had my first interview in years yesterday. Although it's for a job I don't really want, it was nice to be called for an interview, if only to prove that, in fact, there is no subliminal message encrypted in my resume saying "This woman will spend all her time photocopying her ass if you let her in to your workplace."

So. I found a job opening at the University, which is great. It involves editing, social services, and a salary that is twice anything I've ever received. I have the qualifications they want. I want this job very badly. I think I deserve it. I know I'd be good at it. I'm really hoping that the employment gods will finally, finally smile on me and give me a cool job that will allow us to pay off our credit cards and afford kids, or at least a dog. Anyone reading this, please cross your fingers for me.

If you suspect that that particular subliminal message is not encrypted in your resume, you can just bring some coffee to your interview (a few minutes late, if possible), and interrupt the interviewer by producing your flask and saying "sorry, just let me irish up this coffee a little." cuz just smelling like whiskey might not be enough [to overcome your overall AWESOMENESS!]. you need to show that you are prepared for any crisis that might arise.

i read today (in the back of one of those fitness/lifestyle magazines) that photocopy machine manufacturers have increased the thickness of the glass by 1mm on account of ass-copying.

just so you know.
