...so tomorrow I'm going to approach my boss to try to get time off for the F2F. I've been putting this off and putting it off because I am a Big Fat Stinkin' Coward.
All your -ma would be much appreciated, for a limited time, to try to wring a YES out of the employers. (I'm trying to get 7 days off work, unpaid, obviously, and I'm being honest about why. Which means they can just say No if they want to. And I don't know what I'll do if they say No, because I'm damned if I'm going to miss this...)
Please vibe me good vibes, lovely people.
Matt's mom was back in the hospital yesterday. at this point, I don't really know anything. Wishing her a lot of health ma~~.
It looks like I'm going to be dark grey for a while. I expected it when I head out of town for work in early May, but it looks like the prep work for the trip is making me darker grey than the trip likely itself likely will. Also, I'm doing some things at work and home that are good and exciting but not within my comfort level (cold calls - eek!), so some not-to-much-adrenaline-so-my-life-doesn't-give-me-a-heart-attack ~ma would would be greatly appreciated.
I wasn't among the people killed in Dahab, in case anyone was worried. It
is
a public holiday, but I'm still up in Cairo, where my family are visiting.
I'm new, so I hope I'm not doing anything that will get me exiled from the Whedonverse.
Just wanted to let the 'verse know that sunnydale_salvage is a new seller at eBay (just a seller, not yet a store), and you might want to check out my auctions occasionally (I have to move to a smaller place, so I'm forced to sell off most of my collection of "Buffy" and "Angel" memorabilia).
Right now I've got some autographed photos listed for sale on eBay... soon, I'll have more autographed photos... a few signed T-shirts... & misc stuff like mousepads, lunchboxes, a few art prints... (plus, whatever I turn up at the bottom of the crater).
So please visit eBay occasionally & see what sunnydale_salvage has to offer!
(Y'know, digging to the bottom of that crater wasn't easy, and if you think all the Hellmouthy demons got killed dead in the collapse, think again... it's a dusty, dangerous place at the bottom of that big hole where Sunnydale used to be...which, come to think of it, sounds pretty much like the old above-ground Sunnydale....)
Anyway, thanks for taking note (and, if I've chosen the wrong thread for this sort of ad, please push me gently in the right direction. THANKS!)
Valory
