Hello, hello! Gah, feeling sick is the worst. (I'm low-energy at the best times, and so I can only imagine being sick and trying to perform in an interview.) Keeping my fingers crossed!
Prime Suspect follows the career of a character based on the first female DCI in the UK, and it's does an excellent job of showing the kind of personality that can succeed in that sort of situation--driven, thick-skinned, neglectful of any personal life, gutsy at just the right moments. And they also have shown here being decidedly unhelpful, you've-got-play-by-the-boys'-rules to the next generation of women, which I found to be refreshing and a bit cathartic, given what I've experienced with that same generation of women in my field of academia. Bookmark it for a long weekend when you have nothing else to do! It's worth the time.
On an unrelated note, I'm going to be in your better half's part of the world soon--will e-mail to check see if the stars align! M.
