Let’s get together and have some fun this week.
Truth: What is your food guilty pleasure? Not what you think is amazingly delicious and oh-so-fancy, but what you think is amazingly delicious, and which other people maybe think is bad for you or somehow gross. I love McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches. I only ever have them when hungover or on a road trip, but I think they are divine.
Dare: Enjoy a dance party at the store. You know, like when you’re shopping and they play your jam. Do a little dance!

Question: January 18th I applied to a job, never heard of it again, not even a “Okay we have it”. Now the job’s still open. Should I a) re-send the old packet or b) do some adjustments, play dumb and send it? Because it sounds like a really nice job, darn it!
Can you call? I’ve done some clever internet searching and found out who the hiring person was and called to ask if my resume was received. They usually don’t have a problem telling you. Or just resend the packet. If they get it twice, they’ll raise their eyebrows, but will probably assume that you thought they didn’t get it.
I sent an e-mail to ask if she can confirm receiving it and if the job’s still open. Didn’t even think about calling, bad me.
Phone interview in half an hour. Let the nerves begin! After months of job searching, this is my first REAL interview. I do not want to screw this up. I think the way to do this right, is to just start screaming into the phone, “PLEASE LOVE ME!!!!!!!!” over and over. Right?
Good luck! You’ll do great.
It wasn’t terrible. We’ll see what happens.
When will you hear from them?
The interview was with a recruiter who will pass my name to the hiring manager. I should hear from the hiring manager about an interview with him at the end of this week or the beginning of the next one. I was supernervous, and I know that was obvious, so we’ll see if I get the second interview. *fingers crossed* I did a little research and found out that the gutsiest question you can ask is “What would stop you from putting me forward, and can I address that concern immediately?” So I asked, and she said that it was just because my background is totally different from the job itself and they would worry that I was just doing this until I could find something better. So I got the opportunity to say that this was what I really wanted and not to count me out. Which was probably the least nervous answer I gave.
To make a long story short, I hate open-ended interview questions like, “What was your biggest challenge, and how did you overcome it using your favorite breakfast cereal?” so hopefully I hear from them later this week.
Why do you do less the more free time you have? Or why do I do that?
Because you spend the whole day going, “Oh, I’ll do it after this.” And before you know it, you’re crawling into bed and have accomplished NOTHING. Or at least, that’s what I do.
Probably true. Combined with “I have allll the time in the woooooorld surely I can watch three episodes in one go”.
Guilty pleasure….
Powdered donuts. The worst thing ever for you but so, so good.
Does anybody here follow the Lizzie Bennet Diaries? I discovered it over the weekend and I can’t stop watching. It’s kind of amazing.

On topic: the most amazing/sinful thing I’ve eaten in the last month was pilsbury crescent rolls wrapped around brie and jam. I might have eaten ALL OF THEM. And only got a little sick.
Tumblr is obsessed with it, but I’m still trying to catch up on my network TV so I haven’t gotten a chance to watch. I really want to though.
I do! I’m loving how she’s modernized the story. :)
Pop Tarts. I love them and would eat them all the time if I didn’t get serious side-eye every time I bust them out. The S’Mores ones especially are an atrocious breakfast, but I loooove them.
I have an insatiable sweet tooth. I think my biggest indulgences right now is rich gooey brownies.
My biggest guilty pleasure, that even my husband is unaware of, is to make a single biscuit’s worth of dough I don’t even cook it, just chew on the dough, very weird but that gluteny chewiness is very tasty. That, or cheese, straight. I don’t go for fancies when I’m craving weird stuff.
At the minute it’s anchovies. I can’t get enough of those bastards. But generally it’s a “flavour of the month” situation – my last guilty pleasure was chips with garlic and herb dip.
And I dance wherever I like, even if there’s no music playing. I take after my mother.
Also, here is everyone’s daily injection of whimsy: http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/cerise-doucede-egarements-quotidien
I’m not an anchovie person, but I like salty things, so maybe I could dig it?
I used to seriously hate them. I don’t know what happened.
I try to not feel guilty about any food choice, but the one I know I probably shouldn’t eat is fried salt pork. Between the salt and the fat, it’s a heart attack on a plate. I like it best when there’s enough salt to burn my mouth.
And I can pretty honestly say I’ve never heard one of my jams played at the grocery store, unless it was coming from my own earphones. (The day the Sav-a-Lot starts playing Nine Inch Nails, that’s the day they get all my money :-D). And yes, I do dance. Well, kind of, more groove than dance, but you know. I move however I want and dare anyone to laugh at me.
That. Sounds. Delicious.
Salt, eh? Some people have a sweet tooth, I have a salt-tooth.
One of my besties keeps telling me she’s going to buy me a salt lick. She thinks I’m kidding when I say that would be an awesome present. Salt is everything!
Salt! Salt everywhere!
My favourite childhood treat was a quartered tomato with a thin layer of salt on the juicy part.
Second for the salt-tooth. I could forgoe most sweets (besides dark chocolate, preferably with salt…) but salty foods? nope
Dark chocolate, caramel, and sea salt. Hello, kryptonite.
I’ve never heard of such a combination =O this is why I need to go out more.
Yeah, I’m totally a salt person, too. Salty anything is totally what I love.
