'Touched'
Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
I'm still pretty dark where B.org is concerned (y'all move too fast), but I enjoy my sightings of various buffistae on gmail chat and LJ.
I'm dropping in to say that a friend of mine is one of the main organizers of The Browncoat Ball in SF this year and would much appreciate it if y'all would attend.
Requesting healthy pooch~ma.
Bartleby is wicked sick. TMI details: He began throwing up yesterday but was able to eat some chicken and rice last night. This morning, he projectile vomited like I have never seen. Seriously...4 feet stain on the rug.
We went to the vet for xrays and bloodwork. No visible obstruction, which means it could be pancreatitis or something mysterious.
Please vibe for just a very, very expensive tummyache.
I can't even express how everything he is to me and, when his things go wrong, I don't cope so well.
My mother's husband just passed away.
Please keep Wayne Fawley in your thoughts and prayers, and my mom as well--they've only been married for 16 months, but he's made her very happy in that time.
Just talked to Emily. She's in her new place, but has no Internet. She's got her first day of classes tomorrow, so send her much luck and ~ma.
I'll be dark this week--the funeral's on Wednesday, so I'm driving out tomorrow with my uncle.
On Saturday, I moved into my own apartment. That, in and of itself, is enough upheaval and excitement for one week.
Today, I have, finally, been made an offer to be a full-time employee as Medical Writer, Drug Safety. I've been assured this would happen for the past two months, but it's nice to see it in writing. This company has never had its own in-house medical writer. My work is revolutionary! As an employee, I would make a little bit more (let's say 9%) than I've been making as an intern, and I would get all kinds of crazy benefits like the mystifying stock options and the surreptitious free counseling.
I have until the end of the week to accept the offer. It's a tough decision, though. I mean, do I really want health insurance and vacation days?
At the airport, yay free wireless! Vibe us safe, good, & uneventful flight and a good trip, to and fro, please.
BILLYTEA!
I have one of your comics. Email me your next address ASAP and I will get it out to you today!
I'm not sure this is really worthy of beep me, but I feel like posting it.
WE ARE OUT OF THE CAMBRIDGE APARTMENT!
Everything is out and clean and pictures are taken to show the lawyer tomorrow.
And it couldn't have been done without the help of the wonderful Somervillains. Love you guys!
Some good news to report for once: my Dad is doing well, and we took him home from the hospital this morning. He'll be going to outpatient therapy for a while during the week, but it looks like things are largely back to normal.
