Last week I had an interview cancelled without any notification.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I've had a few job interviews where when I have showed up, the person I was going to meet was not there for one reason or other, and I've instead interviewed with someone else. That has never went my way.
I've decided that the next time that happens, I'm going to push for getting the meeting rescheduled with the person I had been supposed to meet.

It would be nice if they had air quality sensors on the ocean surface. So we know if we' gon' get hollaback girl bad air quality based on wind trajectory.
