Requesting a bit of exam-ma for tonight and some general assignment finishing-ma over the next few days. I have my "Information in Society" exam in three hours. My head is filled with all kinds of facts about information and information models. Here's to hoping it all comes out right!
I have two papers due on Monday which are both, well, not done...the next few days are going to be insane-o-rama.
I hope everyone is well! I've been more lurking than anything lately, but I'm trying to stay caught up.
Report from Jeopardy!
Taped an episode of Jeopardy! today--you can catch it March 1. (Check your local times and listings.) I did the Buffistas proud--got only two wrong (including final: Damn you Martina Navritalova!)--and came in second, but brought no shame to the Godwin and/or Buffista family name.
Request for the first of the health-ma for the Hubby for the month. Tomorrow is the 5-year checkup on the colon, where some polyps looked like they were going bad (hanging out in the wrong bars, being sullen to their parents, greasing back their hair--wait, that's "Band Candy". Never mind). In an added feature tomorrow, we're going to his cardiologist for a scan of his heart, which his cardi wants to get done before the colon and the spinal surgery. Yes, more spinal surgery, on Dec. 17. Yes, the date should sound familiar. We're going to the midnight showing of RotK, then straight to the hospital to check in for hte surgery. It's actually glorious timing, because we thought the premiere was 12/19 and he be hospital bound.
Which makes us three-for-three in hospital visits coinciding with LotR premieres. At least this one is pre-planned, and I will show everyone my Eowyn-kicks-ass impersonation if I can't get Hubby a floor-level seat. No fucking stairs this time. Not again.
So, um, spare a thought for me and my Hubby and the hospital staff who have begun to say "What, you again?" when they see me in the waiting room.
(x-post w/Bitches and Natter)
Due to the fact that my company just announced that all of our San Diego operations will be moving to China and City of Industry by 3rd quarter next year (ie - I'll be getting laid off inside about 6 mos.), I'm going to be back on Buffistas a lot more in the very near future. (My recent dark-grey lurkiness being due to that whole too-much-internet-usage, your-job-may-be-in-jeopardy thing - that threat has substantially less power than it did a week ago. Huh.) So if you've missed me at all, I'll soon be substantially more visible.
Pre-emptive job and job search-ma much appreciated.
Should have gotten it in writing ...
Hubby's in the recovery room after his colonoscopy, the doc finds me in the waiting room: "Everything looks great, he's good for another five years." Your mouth to Goddess' ear, doc. Five years of peace would be very pleasant after the last five years I've had.
I just found out that I recieved a state grant/subsidy to complete some work I'm doing. This means that instead of paying $1150 out of pocket, I am having the work being paid for by the state.
So very happy!
I have a phone interview for a job I'd really like at 2pm eastern (less than an hour from now!). If y'all can send good interview-ma vibes, I'd appreciate muchly.
I am interviewing today for a new, slightly higher paying position at my current place of employ. I'm the only candidate being interviewed but I am still way too nervous. Calming -ma would be appreciated.
My interview-that-didn't-happen Friday has been rescheduled to 3:30PM today. Sounding-good-on-the-phone vibes would be much much appreciated.
