'Lessons'
Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Looking for some health baby -ma. My four month old daughter Abby has a major eye infection we have been in the hospital since Thursday. We hope to have her home monday or tuesday.
I don't post that much but I am a big lurker and I have seen the power of buffista -ma.
Some more generalized health-ma directed at the Boston area would be greatly appreciated again. Also, if vw or I have fallen out of touch or failed to respond when we should've, it's not because she/I/we wished to, or wish to lose friends. Life is annoying and distracting, but/so all friendship is greatly appreciated.
Sneaking in after a considerable absense to note that pictures from the Chicagoista Picnic F2F on June 19th are now up here. See aurelia juggle penguins! See eight Buffistas squeeze themselves into tommyrot's magnificent car! Wince as we try to put out the grill! All this and more, folks.
Also, on a slightly more personal note, my sometime-adventures in Chicago can be found here, if you feel inclined to keep up with my not-being-hereness. Miss all ya'll something fierce.
I was accepted today at UNC's law school for next year! The dean called me, which was a huge surprise, but really cool. This is a huge relief as I am headed out there to find a house this weekend.
Whatever ~ma has come to me, I release back into the world.
I (finally!) got my results, and I passed the Society of Actuaries Sourse 1 exam! Next step: job.
Back from my West Coast trip, so hopefully not so dark for a while. It was great getting together with the LA-istas! Many hugs to Lee for arranging everything.
Going into blackout phase as my family traipses across the country to visit relatives. I don't expect to have any net access until we get back in the first week of August.
SHIT.
A little vibeage, please. My sister Alice apparently lost her footing and crashed through one of the glass doors that lead to the deck of her apartment.
She's at the ER, via ambulance. Awaiting a call. Good vibes would be welcomed and appreciated.
A request for interview-ma, here. It's at 10:00 Atlantic time (i.e. in just under three hours). Vibes appreciated.
I GOT THE JOB! I'm so happy I could cry, so now I can release that wonderful career~ma back in to the wild, just in time for Ouise's big interview! (This is the good stuff, Ouise. Sorry to bogart it for so long!)
So I can go from working 70 hours a week to 40, with two wonderful days off A WEEK! Good benefits, two weeks vacation. I feel like I can breathe again.
