Thanks smerd. I'm a little uneasy about it but I have 2 interviews lined up next week, so fingers crossed one of them pans out.

Hmmmmm... might try that one on for size.

It would be tough to be a burn victim like that... my heart goes out a little when I see people who've been disfigured by burns, etc.
My 5th grade teacher told a story one time where he went ot the Social Security office or some other civic office and there was a guy in the waiting area with horrible burns all over his face and neck and people were moving away from him like he had the plague. My teacher went up to him and enganged him in conversation (not related to his appearance) and he said he was one of the nicest guys he'd ever engaged in small talk with.

I can understand wanting to ask someone what happened though; I' d have that curiosity as well, but probably not the stones to actually ask someone.

Yeah the film was a little... um, disjointed I guess, but I enjoyed the gore (and mucus, ugh) as well. I loved Street trash.... Body Melt doesn't hold a candle to it, but the effects were good.
Thanks for the wishes on the job. I hope it works out...I'd love not to have this blasted commute every day.

Except for a part where there's a porno on someone's TV and if you look closely, you can see a tiny bit of penetration.

Yep, that was memorable. ...and I didn't even take penetration points for it either.

And, thanks! My last day (I think, have a meeting with HR tomorrow) is April 28. I don't have a replacement job yet, but man am I finding myself oddly happy and energized, despite that.
