(Alternative Title of Blog Entry: Why not to date people you met while being interviewed.)
According to Interview Guy I was asked at my job interview about my hobbies. While I don't remember any of this personally, I apparently told them I was taking a popping hip-hop class, and they asked me to demonstrate."Dance, Monkey Laura! Dance!" the interviewers demanded.
Being an interview, I showcased my sophisticated and professional character by replying, "Of course! Anything you like!"
And then I did a dancing demonstration for my interviewers.Hmm, not something I want to be reminded about... considering I didn't even get the offer. (Er... didn't get the job offer.)

Newly discovered benefit of working from home: mid-afternoon margaritas!Today's margarita has a splash of triple sec, for added citrus flavor. Tomorrow, I'm thinking mint, or maybe tangerine. Mmm, tangerine... delicious.

Anecdote of the day: Steve Jobs cut in front of me in the cafeteria.
That's right, I was waiting my turn to order my soba noodles just like everyone else in the Apple cafeteria, when the dude just cut me off and ordered his food first. Given the slow service, I waited an extra 10 minutes to get my lunch because of this -- time I could have used for something useful and important, like making more margarita or writing new fart jokes.
Who does the guy think he is?
He thinks he's Steve Jobs, apparently. He may be right.
Dating... go!

In recent past, I've gone on a bunch of dates with a bunch of guys. To name a few...- The hottie I picked up in a hot tub in Tahoe, who turned out to be Mr Wealthy and Successful, workaholic Stanford/Google man, whom my parents would probably marry themselves if they could. Ew!
- The foreign and therefore incredibly interesting man who I agreed to date because he lives on the beach. (hmm, me living on the beach w/o paying a dime? Sign me up!) Unfortunately, after I told him I'd moved recently, he said "life is such a journey, and you are having a new beginning." Wrong answer. Next!
- Of course, the guy I totally fall for and irrationally invest in excessively for like 3 weeks. Only to discover that he's a disastrous wreck in relationships, which results in ample frustration & disappointment on my part, and leads to me putting Peetie (bless her heart) through a multi-hour listening session where I complain about my life. Sigh.

If I hope to have a stable, regular, happy life full of love and commitment and companionship, I am seriously & repeatedly failing. BUT, if I name my goal as being still single at 40 and becoming a cougar who takes advantage of hot young thangs... then I am making great progress.

Unbelievable: There was one guy who didn't pay for me! The nerve! (No date 2 for Mr Stingy)
