Good Buffista thoughts and energy for my daughter Emily, please. She is a college freshman, 2,000+ miles away from home and in the hospital. They aren't sure what is wrong with her, except abdominal pain and severe dehydration and subsequent kidney problems. I will fly to Albuquerque (any New Mexico Buffista's out there???) tomorrow to advocate for her at the hospital and the college.
As an aside, the school , College of Santa Fe, has had "the worst fall I've seen in 25 years of college administration"according to the dean of students- illnesses, emotional breakdowns, one death. Administrators and students alike are really freaked right now. Any other universities experiencing a spike in incidents like that?
Thank you to all the lovely Buffistas.
I am going dark. I just need to delete my MSN Messenger from my work PC, and then I will be packing up my car and leaving. So I don't know when I will be back on for a while. I will be back, though! So expect drive-bys!
Sniff. Bye, desk. Bye, computer. Bye, bookcase. Hello, unemployement!
Oh, SHIT. I'm unemployed.
Also going dark. completely dark. until next Wednesday during the day.
Heading to San Francisco! Don't know how much I'll be online (though I'm sure I'll go into withdrawal and find a computer SOMEWHERE), so I'll see y'all next weekend!!
Am taking the PSATs in an hour, as you may have known from previous groaning. Vibe me for the math sections for remembering the difference between negative and positive numbers; and for not arguing with the verbal sections over style.
Wishing for good vibes on Monday at 3:30,when I go in to meet with an agent (And the head of the agency, a very good sign) about a screenplay of mine.
Yikes, I have nothing to WEAR.
Job vibes please! I have an interview for a tech editor contract on Monday, and would really really like to land it. Thanks muchly!
My LA interview is being rescheduled. I'll try to angle for the following weekend (Nov. 16th) but anybody holding their calendar or planning around it (Ple!) should hold off until I get the new date nailed down.
I will be in LA Nov 14-17, so I encourage you to angle for the following weekend. I promise to wear something lowcut :)
Didn't get the job I interviewed for yesterday - they thought I was "wonderful", but went with the person who had a smidge more technical skills. But! I have different interview on Thursday - 3 hours worth of a different interview! Eeeep!
I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon for a job I applied for in June. Any vibes would be appreciated, though I still have my current job which is fine. A change of boss would be nice though!
