Are you living in New York? Do you really hate it?

Yes. And yes – sort of. I wrote a response that was entirely too TMI and angry, but I think it boils down to this article in the Onion that is 100% accurate:

New Yorkers Aren’t Rude. You Are.

johnskylar:

And I mean that title with the utmost of respect.

I’ve been a denizen of this fair[ly crappy] city my entire life, in one way or another.  I spent some time in LA during college, but don’t worry, I got over it.  The one thing, though, that I’ve consistently heard from around the US is that New York is a rude city.

This is, I feel, based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what this place is.

I would augment this to be more like, “New Yorkers Are Rude. But You Are Also Rude. Oh My God Walk Faster You Fucking Asshole.” But all the interior points stand.

Big fan of /report and been catching up on the 2013 season after failing out and forgetting to come back after the hiatus. I’m on 308 and wanted to pause and rec 2 things re: “we will never see girl!Bond in our lifetimes.” Both on AO3 – Variables and Controls by 8611 (girl!Q/girl!Bond) and Divergence (canon!Q/girl!Bond – this one’s part 2 of a 5+1 au setup) by rosekay.

Heads up for the girl!Bond recs!

Hello, I hope you don’t mind me asking a question about the job hunt thing that you reblogged/posted — if that is ok? More specifically about the follow up letter. I go for professional positions atm (in museums) where there’s typically only one interview and they let the candidates know either that or the next day. In this scenario… I only think about follow up letters if the wait to hear is longer, is that okay do you think? Job hunting is weird, and I’m rarely interviewed by HR at all….

Hey there! Totally okay to ask follow-ups – I basically view job hunting as one massive exercise in paying it forward, so if my advice is useful at all, I’m happy to give it.

I think even if there’s only one interview (lucky you!), and you are likely to hear back the next day, it’s worth sending an email shortly after you leave the interview just letting the interviewer know that you appreciated their time and their consideration. Another potential opportunity in this email is to reiterate why you’re the best candidate for this job, ie: “Thanks so much again for your time today; I enjoyed speaking with you enormously and am extremely excited about the opportunity with your institutions. I believe my extensive experience with x, y, and z would help me to excel in the position, and I look forward to speaking with you again soon. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions, or if I can provide any further information. Many thanks, YOU.”

It’s one more good opportunity to make them remember why you’re the best person for the gig, and you should take it for sure!

I feel like Buffy Summers and Dean Winchester would be best friends.

Dean: So you’re Chosen too, huh?
Buffy: Yep. A bunch of old men played God a zillion years ago, and here I am.
Dean: I know that feel.
Buffy: Oh well. It could be worse. I kind of enjoy killing things.
Dean: It’s really good stress relief. If only we could just stick with killing monsters, right?
Buffy: I know. One day it’s “kill vampires”, the next you’re sacrificing yourself for your younger sibling.
Dean: And then they bring you back from the dead!
Buffy: You too, huh?
Dean: Crawled my way out of a grave.
Buffy: Sucks, doesn’t it?
Dean: And then I got back to find out that the person closest to me was doing sketchy, addicting things to become more powerful, all in the name of the greater good.
Buffy: Let me guess, he tried to start an apocalypse?
Dean: Not TRIED to start so much as– wait, how’d you know?
Buffy: Been there, done that. Man, next thing you’ll tell me someone close to you lost their soul and tried to kill people you loved.
Dean: Dude. This is eerie. Next thing you’ll be telling me you have a red-headed computer-hacking lesbian unofficial sister.
Buffy: …um….
Dean: …..Are you my alternate universe parallel?
Buffy: No, the only alternate universe I’ve been in, they told me my life was all fiction. And not even good fiction.
Dean: …We should hang out.
Buffy: Definitely.
Dean: Decapitate some vampires.
Buffy: Sounds good.
Dean: Are you seeing anyone?
Buffy: No, but I’m not over this guy in a big coat who I hated for a while and was an enemy but then came over to our side because he fell in love with me, and then later he betrayed me and it was awful, but then he really did feel bad about it and tried and make up for it and he died saving the world but then came back only he never calls me.
Dean: …..
Buffy: …..
