Job I interviewed for last week called asking if they can check my references, much to my utter surprise. I ended up pulling my name from consideration since it is a lateral move and I need to move up rather than sideways. AIeeeeee!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Grandpa in the hospital again. Very dehydrated and exhausted from the toll on his body due to the massive steroids the oncologist has him on. I hate cancer. The treatment makes you more sick than before you knew you had cancer. If I ever find out that my conspiracy theory aunt is correct and the government is holding back the cure, I'm killing someone.
I am also starting to get a little, I don't know...fatalistic? Like, the instant my grandma told me I thought, "Glad I got to see him last weekend."

OK, I'm 3000 messages behind in Natter, and really don't want to skip too far ahead, but if anyone can help me out...I just got a bunch of pictures from San Francisco developed, and would love to put them up somewhere y'all could see them, but other than lots of random PeoplesForum posts with each picture attached, and links to those, I don't know how/have anywhere (previous attempts at Yahoo Pictures have not worked for anyone but myself to see them!)...
So, um, email me? mearagirl@yahoo.com

Hey y'all. I'm back from a fabulous weekend in Montreal. Pictures from the medieval halloween ball are here.
I was hoping for lots of pretty boys in tights, of which there were few, but there was fire-breathing, sword-fighting, various devils and angels duking it out...so we were happy. We were also the only anglophones in the place, which was an old chalet at the very top of Mt-Royal, overlooking the city. Fun!

Well, my grandmother didn't tell me the entire story. My grandpa has a bacterial infection in his colon as a result of all the antibiotics they gave him to fight off the pneumonia and sepsis. So, his belly got all distended and they have him on IV fluids to rehydrate him as well as a tube in his belly to drain the bacteria as well as more antibiotics to kill the infection that too many antibiotics gave him. I want to scream and kick and yell and just freak out.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it
I have a ticket to Turandot at the Metropolitan Opera tonight. Due to the fuckwit managing the project I'm working on, I'm stuck in Boston. The production is supposed to be wonderful. If any NYC Buffista is interested in going, email me at profile address. Opera starts at 8PM.

Grandpa update-He has a C Dif infection. Doing better, hungry and bickering at my gram, so he's back on the mend. He's having a bowel ultrasound this morning to make sure there aren't any perforations or clots.
