Dawg.
(I just looked up on Google which is used more often in that phrase, "dog"or "dawg." I am now replete with street cred.)
Went home for The Interview, as you will remember from last week's Installment. I think it went pretty well, though I'm not sure HOW well. They asked me some questions that are hard for me to answer, like "How do you handle facts and figures in a proposal?" I think I did well with three out of the four interviewers, at least, and I really liked the director of development communications, whom I met with separately (the fourth of the aforementioned four). I think she'd be great to work with.
NOW I have to write a proposal for them, which is only an issue because I only have till Wednesday, which is only an issue because I lost Saturday to driving and driving recuperation and committed myself to copyediting Communiqué today. Leaving me very little time to do it. But I will begin shortly, and then we'll see what kind of crap I can produce. (Probably the craptastic kind.) Oh, and the Bills play the Pats tonight too. (I'm saving Pass 2 through Communiqué for then.)
Woke up today really not happy to be in Ithaca. Felt a lot better later when I went outside with Rogue for a little bit, before the temperature dropped. I had to begin the day with a trip to Wegmans, which I just hated but ... there it is.
Note to friends who want to keep me here: FIND ME MY MR. RIGHT. That's really the only way to cement this thing, and even then ... well. Having him doesn't fix spending time with my parents while they're still healthy, and that's one of the top things this whole shebang comes down to.
So, in conclusion: I think it would be great to work for UB. Whether or not this will be the right time or right job, if they even offer it to me, well. Good question.

Ithaca is not especially "gorges" in November or December or January or February or March, so I get that reasoning. And being near aging 'rents - get that too. But a good one like you comes along, like I've seen so many times in my 15 (ouch!) years here, and leaves. I'll keep looking for that guy you think you need and maybe you'll stay a little longer. And don't knock Weggies - it's the best place on earth - even better than Disney! :)
Oh I love Wegmans; I just despise grocery shopping most of the time, and especially when I have other things I desperately want/need to do but can't till I acquire sustenance.
This is precisely why Wegmans needs a specific and clearly-labeled "Aisle of Sustenance."
build it near the pretzels if you must.
