Our daughter and I got home from the hospital yesterday evening. We have decided to call her Clara Mia Helen (and due to German naming laws sadly not, as B. insists, Clara Mia Flower). We're doing well, if rather tired, which is to be expected I suppose. I'll try and get some pictures online soon.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm going to be "discussing the position" with a hiring manager today or in the near future. He didn't say "phone interview," but I imagine this conversation will impact whether or not I'm considered. Please send me any spare job-ma, as well as don't-ramble-just-answer-the-damn-question-properly-ma.
I also have an interview at Potbelly Sandwich Works this afternoon, but that's far less stressful.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'll be out of town and dark gray from the 18th through the 24th. I may have a chance to check in from an internet cafe.

We're headed to Alabama tomorrow a.m., and I'll be dark gray to black through Monday night.

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
Crap. Crappity crap crap. A significant part of work has blown up into small bits. General "please don't let it be any worse than it already is"~ma would be appreciated, especially around 3 pm EDT.
It's not going to be pretty.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm releasing the jobma. I accepted an offer for the non-profit job at more than they were first offering. I'm really, really excited.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Somehow I failed to tell you yesterday in the excitment-- my A-level results are in: AAB.
Thanks for all the exam-ma and support over the last few years. I'm sure the Buffista attitude to punctuation helped with the A-grade in English.
(Details in my lj, amchau.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm going to be dark over the next few days while we move, then grey-ish until the DSL is set up in the new place.
