Wrinkle Removers:
These are good people who’ve accomplished a lot, who had good jobs that, for one reason or another, ended.
They’ve come to ask me for work, and they interview terribly. Not just badly. Rotten.

Dear Separator: If you think you can manage to raise this issue in a polite manner with the trainer directly, do so. If you are not comfortable with that, do speak to the manager and ask if s/he could tell the employee that some of his references make you uncomfortable. If you can have either conversation and manage to leave out the completely irrelevant fact that the membership costs a bundle, then praised be your name.-- O!Connor
Every day, somebody else writes or says something else like this:
Oh my God, things are getting worse. Obama'd better do something really great. The sky is falling. How do you fill the time between the election and the inauguration, when the sky is falling?
There are so many voices out there. So many newspapers, newscasts, blogs. So much time to fill before January 20. No way can we shut up and wait.
The other day I heard somebody say we should wipe out this ridiculous waiting period between the decision and the implementation. We're the only country that fiddles around for two and a half months.
Maybe so. It's hard to be patient when the sky is falling.
