About a month ago, I made two requests for jobma here and now I'm finally ready to release the -ma back into the wild. I got the job that I was applying for. My last day at current job is Friday. Then it's ten sweet, sweet days of vacation (and also just generally getting up to speed on the new job). I start the new job on March 15th. Thanks for all of the -ma, Buffistas. That is some powerful mojo!
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard and if it is it doesn't matter.
Those of you who have been following the Betsy H-P saga will probably not be suprised, though no doubt chagrined, to hear that her cough continued to worsen and now has the added fillip of pneumonia. She's spending tonight in a fine hospital, in good spirits after access to oxygen and good inhalants, and will no doubt be all better soon. However, speaking for the whole H-P clan, ENOUGH ALREADY!
Health-ma, or general -ma, appreciated.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I am going dark for a few days.

If I only had a brain...
I'm home from the hospital. (Actually, I got home yesterday afternoon, but was exhausted.) Thanks for all the -ma. I am still very tired, but breathing much more freely.

If anyone has a way of getting a hold of Meara in a more immediate fashion than email, could you let her know that I need a phone number for her ASAP? I need it to finish ordering something for her.

Up with the sun
Rob, she's listed. Or at least she shows up on Caller ID under her own name, so...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll be out of town for a writer's residency and will be dark grey until Friday night. Profile email works if anyone needs to contact me, I'll be checking it twice daily.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Going gray for an indefinite period.
Any enough-hours-in-the-day-ma you can spare would be appreciated.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
For those interested in the ongoing saga of our homeless friend John, I have some very good news:
He has a fulltime job with a contractor, which is paying him well, and he's been asked to spend the next three months staying the house his new employer's company is remodeling.
He sends his love, thanks and gratitude for all the help and good wishes. And so do we.
