It seems like I'm going to be dark grey for a bit. I'll still check Minearverse and Firefly, Press and Beep Me. Profile addy is good.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Big life-altering news of the good kind: starting tomorrow, I'm going to be a full-time student for a year's worth of professional programming and web graphic design at Clark University CCI, while Unemployment gives me enough money to pay my mortgage and utilities and shoestring necessities.
I feel like I won the lottery, even it's going to be the kind of prize where you have to work really really hard instead of sitting by the pool sipping Mai Tais.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For those that remember the Buffista Thomash, he and his wife had a gorgeous baby boy yesterday. Baby Sam was born 8 lb. 6 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long with beautiful blond hair.
Congrats Mr and Mrs Thomash!!

I just got an email that one job is planning to contact my references, and I haven't heard from the other one...think good employment thoughts to me--it's my birthday! I need a job, y'all! :)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Go meara! Go meara! It's your birthday! It's your birthday! Or words to that effect.
Also, requesting interview~ma at 7ish tomorrow morning -- mostly from the East Coast and UnAmerican Bitches, since all the West Coasters will probably still be either in bed or gronking. (Except Suzi, whose ~ma I do most humbly request.)

I too am dealing with rumors of impending re-orgs and strange things at work, so if there's any keeping-my-job ~ma to spare, I would appreciate it.

Good news (well, at least for me) I'm no longer dark. I have home net service again, so I am SO back.
FWIW

Now tagless for your comfort.
Going dark while we head off to Hawaii on Thursday. Take care, buffistas!
Sand, surf and cocktails with umbrellas, here I come!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
