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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Nic got the job!!

~ma released back onto the jobma aether.

Actually, an update on Nic/job sitch:

The company has offered, we've accepted. He can start as soon as the agency (not the company) finishes their "background check", which apparently takes a few days.

Since we really really really really need this job, and since the words "background check" bring up all sorts of McCarthy/Stalin era images, a little good-vibeage for no complications would be highly appreciated.
