I have an interview next month for a position on the Director's Advisory Council for Women at work. There's only 15 slots out of 5000 employees, and it's considered a pretty big honor and stuff. They really dug my resume.
Not sure that I'll get the spot, but it's pretty damn exciting to be in the running.
I am approved to adopt.
Deferred MRI good-wishes my way in the morning, if you have any to spare.
I managed to get the bare minimum grade in complexity, and thus will not be sharing my computer-science-theory angst ever again (knock on wood).
You're welcome.
Since it appears to be news day...I just got my letter of admission to UMass Boston. I start school on January 26, 2004.
I shall be in San Francisco for work the first week of January! (The 2nd to the 9th, with an extra day and a half of free time at the end!) It's one of our division's Winter Sales Conference, and I'll be expected to work some long days, but it's in S.F. and at the Ritz-Carlton, so at least I shall be suffering in a bit of luxury!
I hope I can work out plans to see much of my San Francisco friends!
I didn't get the ABC-Disney Writing Fellowship, but by god, this year I learned how to deal with rejection and loss. Which is useful. :)
I'm heading home from work for the day and probably won't be back online before we leave for Christmas. I'll be back around the 28th briefly, and then I'm in London, baby! the 2nd - 16th. As always, in the totally unlikely event that someone needs to get in touch with me, e-mail is the way to go. Or just ask shrift, since we are the same person.
I need any spareable car-ma, please, dear Buffistas. My lovely Volvo refused to start this morning. Odds are it's the distributor or something else related to the electrical system. Won't know for sure until Monday. The real -ma I need is for cheapness of repairs, as we really can't spare much right now. And some calmness and peace to me and the DH would be lovely, especially him, as he's still reporting feeling a bit numb about it all a few hours later.
