Deena, I might have missed it in your timezone, but it's still legit in mine -- happy birthday!!!

Nicole, my love, would you like to borrow my Ultraviolet dvds? dcp loaned me his, after which I bought mine, on sale with the Kindred: The Embraced set. Let me know.

Get-better vibes to Toto, jobma to those who need it. And vw, you know you did the right thing, it just really wasn't working out.

I'm glad Deena had a good birthday. I'ma wave at sj and Sail and see if the sleepy will hold till I actually get to bed--before 4AM--Whoo!

Maria, Italy was sooo great! And sj! I forgot to tell you! A small gelato usually ran about 3 euro, and the little fans were 1 euro. Cooling off in Florence: priceless.

Ultraviolet dvds?

Bev, if you're willing to loan them out, I'd love to borrow. Thank you!

So happy that the lovely Deena had a lovely birthday.

So, I'm meeting with the CEO of the company I interviewed the other day at 7:30 tommorrow morning. Which is groovy and all, but odd for a support position, no?

No, I don't think so. If he/she will be interacting with you, then he/she will want to know that your personality will fit. I'm in favor of meeting as many people at a company as possible before making/accepting job offers, from both sides of the table.

Glad you're getting a second interview - hope it is going well as I type!

Sending all my available job~ma to Lilty.

So glad that Deena had a lovely birthday that included one of my favorite restaurants.

Timelies!

I'm about to send a follow-up e-mail on a job and check the website at school for more postings. I was really hoping to not have to do this again for a while...

Okay, I'm up. Everything's packed, the water is running to wash the coffee stuff to make the I KNOW IT'S ONLY 6 BUT WAKE UP ANYWAY coffee, and I've bookmarked Susan's post to go drool over later.

Will I be able to bring a sewing project to work on in transit, or will the airline get cranky about all the pins in the hem?

Hmmm...that's a good question. I probably wouldn't risk it. Although, I did bring safety pins on a flight (as markers for some crocheting), and they didn't say a peep. Just make sure you don't try to bring any scissors or anything like that.

Also, YAY! I get to see JZ very, very soon!

I am in pathetic need of reassurance, if any exists.

I have great fear, every time I read the business section (which I now do voraciously) that we were just fucking stupid to buy at the top of the housing market and that we will be screwed. I try to talk myself out of panic by thinking, it'll be OK, we love our house, and if it is hard to sell it, it'll be OK. We have absolutely no expectation of making a huge profit off of it, as our sellers did. I'm just afraid that we did something completely stupid and we will take a financial bath.

I just can't help picking at this particular scab. It just sucks, the whole "Buy your own home" thing is constantly rammed down our throats, and just because we had to wait for this point to do it, now everyone (in the media) is telling us we are screwed. Bah. It makes me kind of hate the younger me, a little, for not having her financial shit together to buy in 2000.

Also, I hate the current me for freaking out so hard about such a first world problem. I'm luckier than lots, and still I stress.

yay JZ! will you have email access between now and Sunday?
