Hey all -- a co-worker of mine is on the board of an animal shelter who has a dog entered in the Second Chance Dog Show competition. If she wins, she gets great publicity for her shelter, so go vote for Jada!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Herding cats for fun
May I have the job~ma for awhile? I am gearing up for computer testing and interview this Thursday & Friday for an interesting, well-paid job. The following Thursday, I have another interview for something nearly as good. It would be so nice to snag a position where the 2.5 years of state service credit I've accumulated would apply. I'm feeling more overwrought and sweaty-palmed than I'd like, so please send some calm, cool & collected~ma so I won’t freak myself out over the sheer number of unemployed people in my immediate family (me, DH, my baby sister).
Also, while I’m asking for stuff: My elderly, beloved cat Chloe has chronic renal failure and is now in her second year of fluid therapy. She could use some hang-in-there~ma.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Releasing the job-ma back into the wild; they offered me the job!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Anyone want a pair of Nicole Miller black leather pants, size 12? The clasp at the waistband needs to be fixed, but otherwise they're in excellent condition.
(Yup, finally cleaning out the closet. More may follow.)
ETA: And, they're gone, to a happy evil new home.

Mostly lurking...
Some of you may remember back a couple of years ago when I left the workforce due to health reasons. Well, it is time for me to re-enter the workforce. And the interview gods have seen fit to grant me an interview. Tomorrow. For this position: [link]
So, some job~ma would be greatly appreciated, about 2pm. It really would be a great fit, I think.
Also, let us hope that I get the job (or a job soon) so I can pay for those shoes that I just bought for the interview - the ones that I thought were on sale, but weren't...you know how that goes.
Also? Wheeeeee! I have an interview!

move out and draw fire
Hi everybody, long time no see! I am logging on to the Internet from the comfort and privacy of my own home! Yes, after many many stupid complications and months of frustration, we have an Internet connection. (Also, in related-but-less-relevant-news, we shouldn't get any more calls for the British Embassy.)
And I have a request of my own for job-ma...it looks like there might be a contract position with my company here after all. It wouldn't be coding on my old project, and I'm not sure it would be long-term, and it might pose a lot of life complications, so I need to ask for ~ma so that if it's a good thing, it happens, and if not, it doesn't...
Vague and rambling, but back.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Today is important for two reasons.
1. I finally find out who killed Lilly Kane.
2. I just sent my cover letter and résumé to my contact at Pfizer, officially beginning my job search.
I hear Buffista job-ma is strong stuff, so if there's any left, I'd love to have some. Thanks.
