She's sharp as a tack, I don't care if I ever go back
Two job interviews yesterday. The first was with a woman who looked a lot like Molly Shannon. This made it difficult to take her seriously, so I did not utilize my mad interview skills as well as I normally do. But I was undaunted, even after flubbing three of her questions and sweating through most of my shirt, and on my way out I flung my hands in the air and announced "Superadmin!" At least I didn't make the mistake of turning a slightly funny five minute sketch into a two hour movie, eh, Molly?
The next place I interviewed at gave me spelling, grammar, typing, and pattern recognition tests before beginning the actual interview. I successfully pounded all the red circles into the blue circular holes and was allowed to progress to first grade, although gainful employment might be a tougher step. No one at this place resembled anyone from SNL, so I was able to employ my patented "ingenue who will make your office happier and more wholesome" persona to good effect. I think I'm in there, but only Monday will say for sure.
And today I have an appointment with my school advisor for the first time since ever. For is it not written, "If you do things, they get done"? Three days away from the office and I am productive like a Malaysian factory worker.

Mmmmm.... Malaysian factory.
I bought a package of enticing, and miraculously vegan, red-bean steam buns at Berkeley Bowl this week. I'd be grammatical and call them steamED buns, but since they're frozen they're clearly not very steamed at the moment. So I'll go with steam buns, i.e., buns that are intended to be combined with steam. It's like cheese and cheese crackers; put steam on them and you will get a tasty treat.
Anyway, they were made in a Malaysian factory. God, they're delicious.

I want to go bowling.
I had something to say in regards to your entry but now bowling sounds good.

malaysian workers? not that productive i think. (approx 1 million come into singapore to work every day.)
steam buns? so good! i ate so many pork steam buns (not for you, dianna) in singapore. now i eat nothing.
i am a barrel of useless information.

Guess who I saw walking up Hearst this morning? Certainly not Molly Shannon. But our very own Dido The Foot!

whoa. did you see me get hollered at by the scrub in the truck? because that was a high point of hearst this morning.

Yipe! A hollerin' a'happenin'!
Sadly, I saw no scrubbing. I glaned out the opposite window and did a double-take. But the bus roared up the hill, leaving you choking in its greasy gray fumes with no scrubs in sight.
