This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

In slightly less distressing news, my flight home to the States is today at 2.30 central time. I'd appreciate any stray thoughts of travel-ma while I'm going home to finish my last semester of college.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I need to ask for some interview ~ma. Or in this case some second-interview~ma.

I applied for one position with a written interview, but got called in for a f2f interview Monday for a different position. when I got there on Monday, I was given to a third person to interview for a third position. Now I just got a call for a second f2f interview, but for the second position on Thursday at 3 pm CST.

Update: Matt's mom seems to be holding her own. Tires very easily, but still 100% with us.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I may be going dark for a little while since a) my computer is in need of repairs (the power connector won't deliver a charge) and b) I can't access the board--or my email--from work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had an interview today that I think went pretty well, but I won't hear until Monday. Any job~ma you can send my way will be greatly appreciated.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Trudy just called me to say that her grandmother died while they were in transit.

They had been planning to go to her aunt's funeral in Pittsburgh, but got the call that her grandmother was dying, and took a flight to Louisville, instead. So, it's not been the best week ever.

I'm sure she'll be by eventually to give more details, but would appreciate people keeping her and her family in your thoughts.
