Some interview~ma at 2pm Central today would be greatly appreciated. I have a chance at a direct-hire position (most companies only want to do contracts these days it seems) with a really good company and would love to get this job.

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 home from the hospital! Recovery has been pretty smooth so far, except for the side effect from Vicodin which was sudden unexpected projectile vomiting. Trust me, not what you want to be doing the day after surgery. Soon as we figured that out, though, all has been pretty smooth sailing.
Could I have some Buffista~ma sent in the direction of Nashville? My mother's in the hospital with fluid in her lungs, probably related to heart failure. They're trying to get the fluid down now, but we don't yet know how serious it is.
Mother is much better this morning. Now I just need a little ~ma towards finding treatment that keeps her from getting this bad again. Thanks, everyone. It's good to know you're out there.
Just an FYI to think ahead--LAistas, I'll be in your city Monday afternoon through Friday morning the first week of April (I think that's the 2nd-6th?). Working Tues-Thurs, same place as last time...would love to see anyone!
I need a little job~ma, if possible. I can't really talk about it, because it is new and legal like, but it is possible that my University department will "shut down".
I have a lunchtime interview on Friday at a different company. Send "much bigger salary-ma" my way!
My grandma died. I'm heading home. Dark for about a week.
It is my great pleasure to announce that Wallybee (and given the occasion, I will mention that her real name is Biyi, so I suppose she's the WallyBiyi) and I have been declared to be husband and wife (not in that order) by the People's Republic of China! The ceremony is on Saturday, but in the meantime we have had some photos taken in a full-day procedure that desperately warrants further explanation, but will have to wait for another occasion. In the meantime, I offer this sneak preview: [link]
Her parents are very gracious and welcoming hosts and I'll be staying with them (and my lovely wife) until after the wedding. Then I will just be staying with my lovely wife.
If anyone has my old 718 home phone number, throw it out -- Cablevision fucked up when they said they could port it to the new address, so we're sans land line for the foreseeable future. Cell # remains the same.
