Interview~ma appreciated DC-ward at about 11EST. I definitely want the job, but it may only be for a year, in which case I wouldn't want it. So, "permanent job"~ma and "hire Vortex because she rocks"~ma is appreciated.

I got a new job!

It doesn't require me to move!

To celebrate, I changed my screen name!

I had an interview and I think it went well. So I'd like some 2nd interview ma.

Keeping with the job~ma theme. I'm supposed to get my offer letter today/tomorrow. Some patience~ma and good-letter~ma would be appreciated.

Just to add to the job news - good, if scary for DH.

DH has worked for company T - they got bought by big company C - and then G, a vc , bought company C. ( g is a decent Venture capital firm - they buy companies to build them , not strip them) On Friday G decided that Matt should be head of IT for all of C, not just T. Now, Matt has been looking in this direction - so he is pleased. And terrified. I know he can do this job. If you have met Matt, you know he can do this job.

What I'd like for him is a little calm ma~~, serenity ma~~ and maybe some extra clear thinking ma~~. and since he'll be taking on the persona of road boy again - a touch of travel isn't quite as bad as I remember it ma~~.

I have a 2nd interview!!

Thursday. Please lots of job ma.

Photojojo is looking for someone in San Francisco:

Someone who's an excellent and fast writer and handy with crafts and DIY. Someone exceptionally creative and fun who's also self-motivated, disciplined, optimistic, and has stellar follow-through. Basically, a super human.

It's a plus if you have prior writing experience, a blog and flickr account, and know HTML.

Just requesting a little interview~Ma around 4 pm EST.

Oh, my people! Please everything~ma me, for lo, I am terrified! If all goes well, tomorrow will be the county's final inspection of our new house. If we get our certificate of occupancy, hopefully without anything to fix, we'll be able to move in over the weekend. (Not that we can, actually, since the duplex is not packed yet.)

Please send ~ma for no last-minute disasters, a smooth and unproblematic final inspection by the county and then hopefully the bank, and a favorable final loan package. A good last day of house-building work, and a smooth move with minimal ruffled tempers and breakage.

And for, you know, a good and happy life together for the SO & I (and Seabiscuit!) in our new home! Thanks for hanging in with us through this exciting and scary process!

Couldn't have done it without you (in some cases quite literally to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars; I'm looking at you, Daisy Jane!). Thank you!

eta: Oh! Oh! I almost forgot! You are all invited to my housewarming party! Seriously! (Although, please RSVP.) Give us about a month or so to get settled in and everything working, but we're giving a big party. The SO has already invited everyone on this mountain, so I don't see why I can't invite you. If you can make the trip, I can put you up! We have ponderosa pines and the Painted Desert! Come see me!

I got the job!!!!!!

I start 2 weeks from today!

There's a background check and I won't feel secure until the paperwork is complete. But I got the job!
