Apartment~ma, please. I received a notice yesterday that the new owners of my apartment building are adding $400 to my rent on February 1st. I have until January 31st to move.

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.
For those who were worried about Polter-Cow, I just wanted to let you know that his auto-email response says this:
I am currently in India, and I will return to Ann Arbor on January 10.
The likelihood of my seeing your e-mail before then is slim, since the
last time I was there, they didn't even have toilets.
I believe our favorite tag-catcher was only in the northern part of India, but it's a little nerve-wracking to not know for sure. I just wanted to let everyone know that he's expected back on the 10th. Safety-ma to him and to his family, please...
The job~ma of Buffistas is strong, but my DH had to turn down the job offer he got at the end of the interview. The hours they wanted him to work were obscenely bad.
Better luck next time, eh?
Requesting some of that powerful Buffista ~ma for my mom, who had emergency surgery on Christmas, and for my sister and me, as we deal with the fallout. 2005 will not be a peaceful year, I suspect.
My uncle just went into the hospital. They don't know what's wrong, but he is unable to stand. An MRI came back normal. I would appreciate any healing ~ma for him, strength ~ma for my father (who will probably end up with much of the mental, emotional and physical care), and diagnostical ~ma for his doctors. Thank you so much.
Ugh. My grandfather had a mildish heart attack today, and his health insurance runs out tommorrow at midnight. It seems like everyone needs ~ma today, but if there is any super-speedy recovery~ma left sitting around they'd want to send him, it'd be much appriciated.

Posted this in Bitches, but I should have posted here.
In other news, Customer Service Temp job has changed.
When I got to the orientation meeting for job today, I was told that the company had been informed by the client that the project was on hold. There would be no training day Friday, and the three-week project was off.
However, they have another project that has training tomorrow, and full blown work on Thursday. The other project could use us, and it is 6 to 8 weeks, and would anyone be willing to do that?
Silly question. Plus? they changed my hours to 9-5:30 instead of 8:30-5pm, so that'll work out better, too.
Still, I will keep looking for better work while I'm employed.
A mememe update. My RSI has undergone major improvement; I can now type eight hours (with appropriate breaks and exercises) without problems.
I now pass the health karma along to the next person who needs it. I am also getting small amounts of work, but not as much as I like, so jobma remains welcome.
