How you gonna post for pages about how useless applicants are and then forget an interview yourself? Say it ain't so.

I can’t deny it. It happened. I can offer no real excuses. I forgot about it.

It actually went great tho. She just moved here from Seattle. Her husband’s a lawyer. Twin boys in elementary school. I think she’s bammer’s wife.

I think I just failed up. Is this the gravy train I've heard so much about?

[wease]

Burt’s on a gravy train with biscuit wheels

[lennytheweedwhacker]

When I think gravy I think Burt.

Sweet. Congrats man

We’ve had a few big projects this year, hell this fall, and I and some colleagues have hit the goals every time. I’m actually opening a new center in January as well. I’ve got two employees that only make $1-2 less than I do and my boss knows that shit ain’t gonna fly much longer. All that to say I’d better be getting a damn good raise this year.

[Peeps]

had my review and hit a 9% raise and a 9% bonus

yay me

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
