If not friend, why friend-shaped

Lordy, I've befriended so many things and jobs and people who were "friend-shaped." One thing I learned is that if a company you're interviewing with describes themselves as a "family," RUN.

I'm also thinking right now of the stacks and stacks of college promotional material my son received as a senior, especially after the second time he took his SAT. Some of it almost convinced me. I'm not-so-secretly delighted that he didn't (and didn't want to) apply to Stanford (my alma mater) because it didn't have the major he wanted.
