2. What is your proudest accomplishment so far?
I've lived long enough that surely there could be more than one? Perhaps it's knowing when not to respond directly to this question, which invites humblebrags.
3. What is your dream job?
Something lower stress than my previous jobs.
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I've always found this question (common in certain kinds of interview) to say more about the asker than the answerer. It's bullshit. Ten years before I passed my PhD quals, I had no idea I would apply to grad schools. Ten years before I was part of a team that published an award-winning scholarly bestseller, I had no idea I would work as libstaff. Those were good things to do, but I didn't plan for them.
5. What does it take to make you happy?
Accidental inversions or juxtapositions, and bits of space for contemplation. When I'm very busy, it's harder to notice anything---a thing I noticed after I began protecting time during grad school to take walks and look at random plants.

Day Three Theme - Like the first dewfall on the first grass (BtVS)
Feb. 7th, 2026 04:15 amTITLE: Like the first dewfall on the first grass https://kerk-hiraeth.dreamwidth.org/22329.html
PROMPT: Day Three - The Caregiver
FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer {AU}
AUTHOR:
kerk_hiraeth
RATING: PG-13
LENGTH: 1,000
CHARACTERS: OCs; Fatima El-baz & Sofia Blazhevich
SUMMARY: The duties of a Chaplain, whatever their religion are many and varied; sometimes causing reflection on their own lives.
A/N: This story is dedicated to Father Francis Mulcahy, as played by William Christopher on M*A*S*H between 1972 and 1983. That character heavily influences my conception of the Muslim, appointed by Buffy to be Chaplain to all the Slayers; (full name ~ Fatima Amastan Sultana Sara Tirzah Elbaz (or El-baz).
The background to her full name and their histories will, should my muse permit, be revealed in further stories but briefly, her family is from the Atlas Mountains of Tunisia; has mostly Amazigh & Hebrew origins, with some Arab threads as well. Her wife is Jewish from a conservative Orthodox sect. The Slayer is Russian but Roman Catholic, rather than Russian Orthodox.
Goddess be with you,

Father Francis Mulcahy, as portrayed by William Christopher

Feb. 6th, 2026 10:42 pmMost likely, the movies will come after the job's wrapped up. Catching a matinee as a way to say the gig's done.
