Well, last year's harbinger of spring (see below) is still apt, although this year I would say "ant invasion" rather than "ant trail", because there isn't a trail in sight, but plenty of ants.

I think they are coming in through the backyard door, so I will do a big spray thing out there, especially because it's supposed to rain all weekend (again), so I won't be sending the cats out this way for another week.

Nature's such a pain in the ass.

So, we're hiring a clerk for my department, which means that The Raccoon and I have spent the past week giggling over resumes:

"This one would just be too enthusiastic--she'd scare the pants off of everyone!"
"What does she have here, her entire life story? 'I was born a poor black child'."
"O dear Lord, look at this poor guy! 'I would open, log and code 40-70 invoices a week.' He'd have a stroke with us!"
"They have a hope about these salaries. Nobody gets to make more than me, I've been here for five years!"

Well, this week, The Raccoon has been making appointments to interview people. She got a call back from this one guy, and she didn't know if he was a vendor or what, so she asked "What was this in reference to?" and the guy said "My resume!"

Ah, a text-based medium isn't working here. Because what he said was "My reh-ZOOM."

And I said, "We are not hiring that one! It would be impossible for him to be cute enough to make up for 'reh-ZOOM!'"

Kathleen said that during the interview, she should say at one point "O excuse me, I have to see to something, we'll REH-zoo-may our conversation in just a moment!"

Today's horoscope:
You feel pulled between the domestic front and the outer world today. Divide your time and energy as best you can.

One year ago today:
Yep, like the first robin, the first ant trail is an unmistakable harbinger of Spring.
