yeah, that's what i'm hoping. but still, i'm assuming that the competition for the chicago position is most intense. they're trying to identify a "final round" of interviewees that would include 3 people vying for each of the 5 positions. the other cities are atlanta, louisville, memphis and new orleans. i made it to the initial first round of 25 people, but now i'm trying to squeeze into that final 3 for Chicago.

"Dear Zach,

The Libertarian party?

Oh - I didn't read Z S's post. Good job, dog. There's a Three Philosophers on me waiting for you when you come here.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 16 December 2011 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
by the time i get there it's a possibility that my blood may actually contain more than 50% three philosophers! but in case i'm somehow walking and breathing, i'd take you up on that! :)

Sorry, we only serve Malort to out of town guests. But let us know when you're coming and we'll have your shot and your Blagojevich wig waiting.
― wore glasses and said things (thejenny), Friday, 16 December 2011 22:37 (twelve years ago) link
OMG yes. What was I thinking.
Z S, do you know what Malort is?
It's what puts the "puke" in Party Till You Puke.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 16 December 2011 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
holy shit, i don't need to go near that stuff!
"yeah, i had finally nailed down that interview, bought a suit, everything was going fine until the night before in chicago, had some a few Malort Gimlets and before i knew what was going on i was in milwaukee and it was 4pm the next day
― Z S, Friday, 16 December 2011 22:43 (twelve years ago) link

No no. It's not overly strong. It's just very flavorful.

The lawyers invited me to go out for drinks after court, location TBD. The court order of closure came through a while ago, which means court is well over and now I'm getting a little bit

Oh god, speaking of, we're having some interminable department holiday lunch next week and one of my coworkers is going to be on vacation. Since she would miss the big shindig, her boss said that he would take her out to lunch today. At about 1:00 pm, he packed up his stuff, wished everyone a good weekend, and left without mentioning their lunch plans.

They contacted me and i joined them and now there are 2 (welve) Bergopff beers in my gut pouch.
There were a lot of man hugs. The partner of Jackassery, Ltd. who i usually really revile hugged me most and most frequently. He sucks but he did OK today.
I'm not drunk tho and you can tell bc I'm on the Clark bus and not a cab.

It really is lovely snow!
I've been waiting to enjoy this day in my new apartment for a long time!
Though does anyone have advice about how to keep storm windows from steaming up? They are almost completely steamed over and it's impeding my full enjoyment of this snow.

I am a little freaked out by the crawling sloths and the bucket o'sloths, I have to say. I don't want to drown them, necessarily, but I don't think I want to go work at the sloth village, either.

Cmon they are ADORABLE. The music is a bit quaint, but they (the sloths) are exemplary.

All ages show and Protomen were the second band, I should say. We'd still be there if we stayed for the headline. But instead we came home to watch STAR TREK.
THAT'S RIGHT.
