I feel kinda shallow posting this after the last few messages in Beep me, but ...

I did *really* well on my interview today, and was told I'm the leading candidate for the position. They make a decision tomorrow, and Oh! am I hoping it's in my favor. Job vibes will be muchly appreciated!

Hey, y'all. I'm alive. I just can't natter like I used to, back in the old days. Why, when I was young, we'd natter all night long, and all day on the weekends.

Oh, wait, that wasn't nattering.

My point, and I may or may not have one, is that I am thinking of you all, and watching television in solidarity with you all. But I am very busy with work and writing and trying to get a life. I will try to keep you all updated on that last bit.

If anyone is attending the World Fantasy Con next week, email me, 'cause I'll be there.

Hugs to all that need 'em, and gropes to the rest.

Love,

Knut

Are there any Buffistas in the Miami, FL area up for a F2F early in the evening on Monday, 11/11?

I'll be in town that night on a short business trip and can meet.

YES!!!

I got the job! I start on Nov. 18th (the day after my birthday, hurrah!) on a 6-month contract as a programmer editor. Wheeeee! Thanks for the good thoughts everyone!

All English vibes appreciated... I have my final standardized English test - no writing necessary, all multiple choice and on everything from literature to linguistics.

Send vibes please, oh the buffista font of knowledge.

DH called durring Firefly. He doesn't have any real news about his mom yet. The good nes is dad is back to the stoic new englander-- so he feels better. MIL was walked down th ehall tonight. She seems to be progressing, but wearen't really sure what it means. continued vibes and thoughts please. 300+ buffista good thoughts can only help.

spoke with and got email from DH. His mom is heavily sedated and get disorientated easily. They are still waiting for signs that the small intestine is working properly, but they have seen ( heard ) some improvement. Please send extra strength to DH. His famliy dynamics are messy and he needs to be the grown up.

edit: I am really glad for this thread .. it lets me say things and then go back to the fun parts of life.

DH is heading home tomorrow. Everything seems to be working in his mom - she got to eat Jello today. She got much more lucid , but I guess the pain is high. Anyway the first worry stage is over.

Edit: I will be dark or grey this week. Sister arrived to day and mom comes in monday. I should be pretty busy.

Hey .... I'm going to be in NYC Sunday night. Are any NYistas up for watching Angel with me? I've missed the last two eps so there might have to be some hissing commentary during commercials to bring me up to speed ...

I have an early meeting the next morning but would love to see some folks. You KNOW who you are!

I will be in Philadelphia next week starting Sunday (sorry, ernaceous), for a computer geek conference. I would love to meet up with area Buffistas, especially for the Nov 5 Buffy.
