There's been a lot of turnover recently at my second job, and last night I was questioned about my interest in a promotion. This would allow me to work 20-30 hours less a week less, make more money, and dramatically increase my quality of life, even if the job is slightly less than desirable. It could well get sorted out this weekend, so if there is any stray promotion~ma floating around out there, I'd give it a good home!
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

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.
The time has come for me to move on, for now at least. Thanks for the good times. Mail sent to my profile address will be gladly read.
Be kind to each other.

Trust my rage
They are coming to disconnect my internet in an hour. The house closes on Thursday and we leave for Brazil on Friday. If anyone wants anything (small) from Brazil, let me know.
We get back from Brazil at the end of June, but won't be settled in North Carolina until early August.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Aiiiiiieeeeeeeee! I am now an engaged woman. The dear, sweet BF proposed on Saturday in Pennsylvania. There was much crying on everyone's part, and it helped to cheer up my father.
The wedding will probably be in April or September of 2005. Ack! I have to *plan* a wedding!
t hasn't stopped glowing since Saturday

Our wings are not tired
I'd like to tap into the job~ma. I'm meeting with one of the big companies that staffs and runs installations for big themed environments like restaurants, theme parks, and casinos. They need a few folks to come in as contractors and do essentially project management for some of their stuff. It would mean some gigs in N. California and Vegas from the sounds of it. This could offset my income loss from the teaching job going away.
Meeting with them at 10 AM PDT on Wednesday, so any spare ~ma would be good.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
That "whoooooshing" sound you hear is a combination of susurrations: me exhaling in relief, and the jobma being sucked out the window and back out into the 'verse, for those who need. And, hopefully, with some extra vibeage comin' atcha.
Everyone's on board, including the director of the company. Looks like $65 an hour.
Very very very very relieved.

I'm off to talk to the folks about Project Managing some big A/V installs. 10 AM is when I meet with them, so any spare ~ma floating around is much appreciated.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Interview-ma needed, stat!
If jomba vibes could be directed NYC-ward around 6 pm this afternoon, I'd greatly appreciate it. Must. Get. Out. Of. Temping. Rut!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
If y'all could direct the patented Buffistas health~ma toward Tennessee, it would be greatly appreciated.
I got a call from my mom this morning. My dad had a stroke last night. Severe enough that the amublance called for the Air-Vac to take him to the nearest hospital. The good news is that he's completely alert and can answer questions easily and is still being a smart-ass to the nurses. But, his left side is completely numb.
Thanks.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I got a call from Gary(my fiance) this afternoon, that his dad had a mild heart attack and was in the hospital. He had angioplasty done and is feeling better now. Supposedly he will be able to go home tomorrow or Saturday. If you can spare a little healthma, that would be appreciated.
