Our love will never be legalized. Not so long as PETA has any say in the matter.

I don't care, I am still going to wear you as a woman suit.

I think dudes can already get married in WA? I don't know, I'm anti-marriage of all kinds.

Weren't you going to go through your 10th marriage or something like that until she got an offer you couldn't make her refuse and not be a total dickball an had to break it off?

I went to bed around 1:30. Was tired and it looked like Obama was going to win.

I've only been divorced the one time, mang.

Cotigo · « **Reply #732 on:** November 08, 2012, 08:11:04 AM »

Multiple divorces with the same woman don't count as one divorce.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #733 on:** November 08, 2012, 08:47:49 AM »

It also doesn't count as getting remarried if you plow in the dumpster behind the courthouse where you got divorced.

Cotigo · « **Reply #734 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:45:30 PM »

Dang I really need to bone up on my marriage law then.

JOBBITY JOB JOB

So despite the doomsday "Romney is not president, fuck all there will be no jobs for anyone anymore ever" shit I've seen flying around, I have way too many good responses.

I always keep an eye out for interesting things, but lately I've put my resume forward a few times. So yesterday I got THREE responses. I wasn't expecting any because I'm applying for jobs that would be, at a guess, a two-step promotion. Go figs, eh?

So I have three interviews to prep for next week. Which is also my birthday week. Hoorays.

Also, had a third-party independently verify that I was underpaid at least 20% at my previous job. Lawl. At least the experience did what I suffered it for: gave me the avenue for a big promotion in my next job.

Yay LD! I'm glad you're getting some interviews, I know you were miserable at that last job.

Yay! Although didn't you mention the corporate world made you miserable? What are those new venues offering you?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #739 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:07:37 PM »

Presumably at least 20% more monetary compensation?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #740 on:** November 10, 2012, 11:27:08 PM »

That may not be enough for her considering how miserable corporate life made her in the former job!

Lady Door · « **Reply #741 on:** November 11, 2012, 12:14:23 AM »

Money's not my biggest concern, or I wouldn't've quit my former job without a new one lined up.

These jobs have a lot more creative leeway. The top contender for my interest right now, for example, involves managing trade shows -- coordinating arrangements, directing the creative work, showing up to set up and see the show done right, etc. So it has some cool things for me: authority, travel, events. (I had originally applied for the position managing the Game Developers' Conference which would have been -awesome-, but it looks like they've already found someone. Oh well.)

Not to say that the money isn't nice, too, of course. But I can't work just for good money. I don't have enough work ethic for that.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #742 on:** November 11, 2012, 12:17:09 AM »

What company is the trade show thing with?

Lady Door · « **Reply #743 on:** November 11, 2012, 03:08:40 AM »

The company that does GDC - UBM TechWeb. They also have Gamasutra. The division I'd work with is online marketing.

ETA:

I'd bought a Groupon for $40 in tea and tea accessories for a shop in SF's Chinatown, and finally got around to using it today. Their big draw is the ability to try almost any tea they have there before you buy anything. Andrew and I sat down and tried a couple varieties of puerh, some lychee black, mint red, jasmine, genmaicha, a couple varieties of fruity green tea, and a rose tea. Ended up with a 1/4 pound of Woodbridge puerh and 1/4 pound of lychee black, and also picked up a single-service tea set for each of us (the kind with a ceramic strainer fit for the mug).

Will have to go back again sometime soon and try with a little more forethought. Maybe if we get the guy to like us enough he'll let us try some iron goddess.

The overpriced Yankee Candle called "Treehouse Memories" is by far the best smelling candle out of the bunch. It closely burns true to the oils. It is great. It is also apparently good for people with SAD (me) that also use SAD lights in New England's depressive fucking night-noons.

Edit* Oh, and beyond an egocentric post: Veteran's Day. Know any? Acknowledge them. Don't? Acknowledge them. It can be hard to attach yourself to individuals you don't have established relationships with, but their occupation certainly paved the way for some national security easily taken for granted.

More about ME ME ME

Another potential job offer, this one through a friend of a friend. Networking actually does something for you, which irritates me to no end even though I'm happy enough to take advantage of it when it comes up.

This one's more up the alley of what I wanted to do for a career in the first place: editor. So hopefully this one goes somewhere good.

Also I got my hairs did today. I love my hairdresser because she, too, is a nerd, and we have great conversations. This is nice when you need to be somewhere with someone for 2.5 hours.

Yay! Also, I may need some help from you with pulling up cover letters out of my ass. I never needed one in Brazil, may need one for foreign endeavors.

Just send Djinn a few 8x10 glossies I am sure he will let you give him a job.

Prostitution isn't a regulated profession in the US as far as I can tell.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #749 on:** November 16, 2012, 06:22:03 AM »

He said job, not profession. Clearly it's under-the-table stuff.
