On Sunday evening, Polgara's mother, Linda Pinette, passed away in her sleep, very unexpectedly. She was a single mom who raised two amazing young women all by herself, and if I don't know what else to say.
Polgara's sister wished for flowers up to the ceiling, so if you have the means, please send a bunch.

I had a second interview this morning for a job I want madly.
I'm tired of being broke. I'm tired of looking. I'm tired of this (albeit adorable) fucking pinstripe suit. Please send job~ma and tell-trudy-as-soon-as-possible~ma in whatever quantites you can muster.
Releasing the jobma to do its thing for other Buffistas. I signed an employment agreement yesterday that should keep me busy for the last few months of the year.
My father's company is looking for a Clinical Projects Coordinator. The ideal candidate would have their PhD or be a PhD candidate in Education or Psychology and have research experience. A master's degree would be acceptable if the person had research training and experience.
The position would work out of their office in Lexington, MA.
If you, or someone you know, might be interested in this position, please drop me an e-mail and my profile addy, and I'll send you the full position description (which is VERY thorough and much too long to post here).
I know it's a bit last-minute, and that many people here are completely tapped out after donating to hurricane relief, but I will be running in the Race for the Cure again this Sunday, as I do every year. If you would like to make a donation, click here.
Could I ask for a little sanity~ma? Things are very weird right now at the little company I work for and it is stressing me out.
My 20 year old nephew appears to have OD'd last night. He's on a respirator and he may have brain damage.
I'm waiting on a call from his mother to find out what's going on. A little bit of recovery-ma for the boy and some calm-ma for my sister would be greatly appreciated.
Just heard from Dana. She says that they're fine. They still have power, but no Internet. They're expecting high winds today, and less rain.
My profile address is good if you need to get a message through.
