Raisin Update!!

I know you've been curious about what Raisin has been up to, and I'm pleased to report that I have some news.

Yesterday I went to the College Dean's office and guess what I saw?  Raisin, with her hair done, wearing a business suit.  Oh, yes!

Now, you're wondering, what could Raisin have been doing at the Dean's office in a suit?  She was interviewing for a job. 

The woman who is in charge of guest lecturer hospitality and candidate reimbursement is leaving.  Her last day is today.  So, Raisin was applying for her job.  I don't know this because Raisin told me, I'm just guessing.  Because, of course, Raisin didn't say anything to me. 

What's interesting is that if Raisin got the job, she'd actually have to communicate with me.  I'm in charge of our department's guest lecturer hospitality and faculty candidate expenses.  She'd have to talk to me or get her ass in a vice with her boss. 

The odds of her getting the job, however, have somewhat diminished with yesterday's encounter.  At the moment I saw her, she was standing in the Dean's lobby with the Dean's head accountant, the woman who would be her boss.  The interview was clearly already over and they were saying their good-byes.  As I passed them, I said hello to the accountant.

Maybe it was unnecessarily cruel to do it just after the interview, but really, if she wants the job, Raisin is going to have to get over her psychopathic aversion to all things related to my department.  So, I said, "Hi, Raisin!  How are you doing?  Are you applying for the hospitality accounting job?"

What would you do?  What would any sane person do?  If she wants the job, she's got to talk to me.

What did Raisin do?  She scowled and made a strange little sound that might have been "hello," or might have been her choking on her rage.  Hard to say.  The head accountant's eyes immediately cut away to Raisin and then back to me in alarm.

When I left the Dean's office, they were both frowning.  Wonder if Raisin will get the job...
