Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Going darkish to dark until 1/21.
Going to Chicago, with minimal Net access, next week. Followed by taking Hubs to Charlottesville for medical tests (nothing life-threatening) the week after.

My uncle is home from the hospital today. It looks like all the problems are related to some special kind of irregular heartbeat, but fortunately, it seems that they are able to control it with medication. Releasing health most ~ma to the universe, although I would appreciate small amounts for his continued healing. Thanks all!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Emerging briefly to announce that I have passed the second actuarial exam. Yay!!!!
Also: Hey, -t, good going, and good luck! *secret actuarial handshake* If you want to talk about actuarial job hunting (I was recently successful), profile addy is good.

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 reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
(I was, indeed, clear on the other side of the country. Sorry to have caused worry!)
