I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I officially have accepted a job in Seattle!! Eeeeeeeeeeeek!
Tentative work start date is Oct 8, but hasn't been confirmed by my future manager (eeeeek!) and don't know what the relocation will end up being in terms of when I'll be there vs. here, but...
Eeeeeeek!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My mom's in the hospital again. Any ~ma would be much appreciated.

I'm thinking of coming to Seattle mid-October for InfoCamp. I have some questions for Seattlistas posted in F2F, about timing and accommodations suggestions. Thanks!
Also, I apparently can't type. Blergh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
A teensy bit of administrator-ma, because I'm finally meeting with the Section 30 counselor to get retroactive approval for the program I've been in for the next month. I was originally told that this would be pro forma, but there's always the possibility that I was misinformed. I've got all my documents, including my passport, admission letter, S30 approval from DETMA and so on, but... I'd be better off with a good, friendly bureacrat, all the same!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
My brother Joe is an exhibitor in Wired magazine's Nextfest, a four day technology festival running today through Sunday. It's in the Los Angeles Convention Centre.
My brother is with the McGill Digital Orchestra. I'm posting this because a) I'm proud of my brother and b) it sounds like a really interesting event.
Wish I could be there!

Trust my rage
I've currently investigating the possibility of creating (from scratch - yikes!) a non-profit designed to provide legal assistance to immigrants. I had hoped to let someone else lead the charge, but I've gotten some encouragement that it might be more possible than I thought. Still, I feel a little overwhelmed. I know this area of the law, but not the steps involved in creating a non-profit. I have a few casual meetings in the next two weeks and I'd like to appear at least conversant on the topic.
What I'm looking for is anyone here who might have ever done something similar, even if it wasn't law or immigration related. I just want to pick the brain of someone who has written or is familiar with grant proposals, charters, or the unknown unknowns (miss you so much, Rumsfeld).
I wrote about it a bit more in my LJ (ste_noni) and of course, profile address is good.

Compassionately intolerant
Two ~ma requests in one.
Back to normal ~ma requested for my left ankle. An odd wish I know, but dang it, I've tried everything else. RICE, arnica, Aleve, etc. The swelling is never too horrible (I can usually see the anklebone), there is no pain, no bruising, no infection that I can tell...just no earthly reason for the swelling and discomfort. I'm at wit's end because my marathon training is in real jeopardy.
Calm nerves for both of us and he'll be fine ~ma requested as I leave Bartleby with someone for the first time in 5 years. And away from home for the first time ever. I trust the woman who is keeping him, but my heart is clenched. We'll be apart Friday, Saturday and much of Sunday.
I'd ask for luck with my retreat facilitation gig, but honestly, the pooch is waaaay more important to me.
