sraunMonday I agreed to temporarily work the graveyard shift. This is Tuesday through Saturday, 10pm to 8:30am, except Wednesday I start at 12:00am Thursday. This is until he gets more head-count, so he can hire people who want a graveyard shift. This could be anywhere between a couple of weeks, and around late May.
I'll have to get a new watch - I'll need one has day-of-the-week on it. I know this from past experience - graveyard shift rapidly destroys all my sense of what day it is, and it will take me years to recover - it took somewhere between 10 and 15 years last time.
Wednesday was gaming - we rescued a bunch of IB's, but not all of them, and two of the three big bad guys got away. Along with a number of their nefarious experiments.
Thursday we went to Thanksgiving at Don & Margo's (WANOLJ). Also in attendance were![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fmsv, cowfan, jolest, Jeanne, Gin, Julie, and Deanna (WAANOLJ).
Friday we made Turkey with 4+ Heads of Garlic. A 13 lb. bird, put about 2/3rds of the garlic inside and the rest outside, rubbed down with olive oil, sprinkled with thyme, kosher salt, and fresh-ground black pepper. Baked until it was falling-off-the-bones. We ate 2/3rds of a baguette, cut in about 1/4" slices, liberally smeared with the roasted garlic; and the drumsticks and thighs. The rest went into the refrigerator or freezer to be left-over turkey or stock-starter.
Then we went toambartil's birthday party, where much fun was had by all. (Hey, ambartil - you promised to update your bio!)

However, if anyone leaves our department in Seattle, that head-count gets moved here - all department new-hires will be here until we've achieved parity. And there's the question of what the acquisition will do.
Which is all the long way of saying I don't expect to see him interviewing anyone until mid-March at the earliest.
