'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Hey. We're in the process of setting up our new computer. Which means our Internet access will be spotty for a couple of days at home.
In the mean time, we will be reachable by phone, smoke signal or carrier pigeon. Communication via mystical sigil will work well, but the use of ninja as courier is discouraged. As always, shouting really loud may not be effective, but is fun.
Please send a little of the patented Buffista jobma my way at 2pm Eastern time. Thanks ever so.
Extreme Jobma needed. Aquent corporation is "presenting" me for a short term Mac Tech position with Target HQ in Minneapolis.
If Target wants to interview me, it'll be as soon as Thursday afternnon, or as late as Monday.
And the pay will be good. Sadly only short term thru February.
My mother is gravely ill. We are sitting vigil with her. Please wish her a peaceful passage. Thanks.
First, I want to thank Kat for sharing my sad news. She and Lori have become such good friends. It's times like these that I realize how much I have come to rely on her.
My mother passed away last night. She spent the past few years struggling against a terrible illness, but her death was very loving and peaceful. All her children were with her.
I loved her more than I can say. I'll miss her terribly.
Her obituary will appear in the LA Times this weekend. The funeral on Sunday.
Thank you all for your kindness and condolences. It means a lot.
Having a smashing time in London, increased by the fact that Thursday night, I went to see The Pirates of Penzance. 4th row, center. Pirate King played by...Anthony Stewart Head.
The man, if I may say, looks damn good in leather pants and eyeliner.
Thanks for the Jobma folks, but Target decided to go in-house for their Mac Tech guy.
Oh well.
Well our production of Arsenic and Old Lace (which I directed the last three weeks, as well as having the role of Dr. Einstein) opens Friday, Jan. 16 at 8. Sat. 17 shows at 2 and 8, and Sunday the 18 at 2. Then the same the following Fri, Sat, Sun. Tickets are $6. Performances will be at Vladek Hall (corner of Van Cortlandt Park South and Hillman Ave., the Bronx). Anyone interested can contact me for more info at TDRaicer2@aol.com. Hope to see some of you there!
Chicagoistas, your number will soon be increasing by one.
Yes, at long last, I have a new job! And it's in Chicago, which was my goal. I start in a couple of weeks, and I'll probably be doing some combination of commuting and bunking on people's couches for the first month while I get myself settled and find a place to live.
This has been a long time coming, and I'm both excited and a little bit terrified right now. Thanks so much for the jobma floating around out there (even though I didn't ask for it this go round - jinxes, you know) and especially to Susan and vw for resume advice and to Hec for talking me down from a couple of ledges here and there along the way. My share of the jobma is now gratefully directed back to Daniel and others in need.
Emily and vw? Package arrived yesterday. I opened it up and laughed like a loon. Have been happily munching on cookies.
Muchas gracias. You two rock!
