I just turned in my last assignment for Caltech.
I'm SO done.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I am happy to report that Stephanie gave birth to Elizabeth Lindsey, to be called Ellie, at 5:29 pm today. She weighs 6 lbs. 9 oz., and mother and baby are both very well. They didn't leave for the hospital until 3 pm! Great work, Stephanie, and welcome Ellie!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Welcome Ellie!
A whole heap of Job-ma urgently sought. Tomorrow looks set to be one hell of a day, workwise, and it's entirely possible that I might find myself unemployed at the end of it, either from having been sacked or walked out. Please send your good will my way, lovely people.

Okay I know I've been taking more than my share of ma, and I don't usually ask for current job-related stuff, but I'm first-chairing my first jury trial on Tuesday and I'm both fairly confident and scared as hell. So I'm requesting some non-specific kick-ass-at-trial-ma in my general direction and I'm gonna need it through Thursday. I promise that I'll give it all back.

So, I got laid off Friday. Would be more upset, but I've already been working on a plan. So little stressed about money, but not worried about where I'm going. General life-ma welcome.

Starting tomorrow, I have ten major (A-level final) exam papers to sit over the rest of June. Any exam-ma you have to spare would be appreciated.

Trust my rage
I am home with my beautiful baby girl. She appears perfect to me in every way. Plus, at the moment, she is sleeping, so that helps.
Anyway, I marked all the posts that I missed and will catch up sometime soon. Thanks for all your well wishes and support.
Ellie is doing great - more awake last night/today and starting to get the hang of the nursing thing. I'm doing well too. I feel a bit worn out (physically) but I've never felt so good in my life on so little sleep. Everyone keeps telling me I'm doing great, so I just believe them. I plan to write up more details later and will probably post in my LJ.
Oh, and Joe is currently on a flight from Germany and should land here this afternoon.

I've been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. Would anyone know of a source where I could find a CPAP machine fairly cheaply? eBay is hoping for $400+ for the few available, and I'm hoping for a better deal somewhere.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I would suggest borrowing (renting) one from the sleep center first, to see if it works for you. I have apnea, too, but couldn't ever seem to keep the damn thing on at night, so I ended up just getting the surgery.

Up with the sun
Could I borrow some jobma from tomorrow morning through Thursday noon? I've gone a little insane and have five interviews this week, and ... well, I only need one job, but I would like to get that.
