Re: Kudos To You!!

Congratulations! I know how you feel about jobs and general malaise. I've been in and out of that state for the last ten years. It's all terribly trying. My advice is to try to live in the moment and practice mindfulness, as the Buddhists say. I need to start meditating again. It does wonders for that.

Congrats Alex! Don't bother with extension 222, though. I'm pretty sure that is made up.

My sister (Captain Bunny Killer) lives in Lynchburg, VA and we are thinking of making a trip out there after tax season is over to visit her on a weekend and then thought, hey there some people in VA and the Dc area right? Maybe we can all convene for a day or so in some central-ish location and hang out! So... Speak up if you like the idea and might be interested!

After a five month internship and five months of contract labor, I just accepted a full time, salaried, benefited position at my job. It makes me very, very happy.

Not only was it my last exam ever (I'm hoping to do postgrad but let's pretend I'm not for the time being), it went way better than I thought it would! :) I'm free! Kinda. It's great to be finally done after four years. Only trouble is being the first of my friends to finish, everyone else has exams or coursework until the 10th of May so I kinda don't know what to do with myself.
Yay! I like work way better than college, so I hope you do too.

Congratulations Alison! I know you have been wanting this for a long time and I am really happy for you.

I guess if someone has to preside over terrible, horrible, anti-freedom regulations that are ruining America, it might as well be an awesome person like you!

I don't mind spending the extra 6 bucks, but I do most of my reading on mass transit, and I do it on my tablet. If you can give me a Kindle specific link, I will buy it.
Amazon decided not to combine them both into one listing for some reason. Here's a link to the Kindle version.

Do you have the links for the archives? I meant to listen this morning but I was still asleep.
The first was not archived, but the second will go up eventually on this site:

My GM is getting transfered to another store. I'm first in line to take over the store I'm currently at as the GM.

I could stop it and say I don't want it, but that means training a GM to do the job I frankly probably should be doing and letting them collect the bonus money my store is primed to make. It's time to step up I guess.

Wow. Like I'll have real responsibility and crap!
:yay: Congrats Bea! Maybe you can buy me a present with all that extra money you'll have.

Books about music and alcohol?
Music about books and alcohol?
Or alcohol infused with books and music?
The latter, naturally.

"the government" was implied by agency.

Since I'm also a government lawyer (albeit it in a very different regime), I wanted to know more!!!

Très cool... how do you prepare for such a discussion?
In this case, I don't really intend to prepare much. I will just respond to whatever questions they ask me honestly. In my previous radio hits where I've had to talk about policy, I do lots of homework to make sure I have all the facts and numbers ready and I don't misspeak or get ambushed, but since this is about a movie, there's not really anything I need to know.

I'm going to the AAA (that's American Accounting Association for those of you who still immediately think of the auto company when you see that ;) ) Southeast Regional Conference in late April, and I guess I'll be presenting my second year paper (which at this point looks like it'll be gobbled up into one of the essays in my dissertation).

It's at the "kiddy table" presentations (Dialogue instead of Paper Session), so I was actually slightly disappointed yesterday, but I really can't complain. It was accepted, I'll get to network with folks, and at least I hopefully will get some valuable feedback on my paper nonetheless.

Baby steps, at least.
Can I submit a question about your paper to the conference?
