Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I've got a ~ma request (my first). I should be learning officialy this morning that the position I really want at work is open. I've been passed over for it once before. Any job~ma sent to Raleigh, NC would be much appreciated. (Also tummy~ma because mine's all knotty.)

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
NYC-istas, I will be in the area for the entirety of next week for a conference, staying at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. Thursday evening and Friday afternoon are looking the best to meet up with folks, though I'm waiting for confirmation of one last meeting that may take place either one of those times. That really doesn't help with the planning in any way, but I'm hoping a few of you will be available for dinner or lunch.
Profile addy is good.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Requesting some health~ma and correct diagnosis~ma sent to Tucson, AZ.
My dad had a slight (very slight, thankfully, I spoke to him on the phone this evening) stroke this morning.
They're keeping him for a few days to do some tests, but it appears that he is doing very well.
I just don't want to take any chances, because he's my daddy. So if you have some ~ma to spare, I'd appreciate it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I just received a PayPal transaction notification.
You people completely rock. Thank you!

Talked to Mom and Dad last night. There are no signs of damage, and the MRI showed no tumor, which was apparently something my Dad had been secretly worried about for a while.
He's home now, and sounds really great. He has a diagnosis of TIA, and some things he can concretely do, and he sounds determined to do them.
Feeling very lucky today, and many thanks for the ~ma.

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...
I'd like to put in a request for some job~ma wednesday (around 9am MTN) and thursday (around 11 am MTN). I've had two responses to resumes after almost three months of none. Either job would be great, tho I'd like the one who's interview is on thursday better since I know the people there, but either way a job is much needed and would be welcomed. Thank you, everybody, very much.
