'Safe'
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.
It just got announced this afternoon that my company, the company that I moved to Seattle for, is having layoffs tomorrow morning.
-ma, please? If not for a job, then at least for decent severance and eligibility for unemployment (which may not be possible)?
Er, yeah. So, um, more -ma for "eligibility for unemployment", please? Since after only four months here, I no longer have a job?
GF's dad passed away this afternoon. Thanks for all of your support over the last year.
If I might borrow some of that fantastic job-ma I hear so much about...I have a phone interview this afternoon for a faculty position. I've applied for over a dozen, but this is one of only two that are in the West, where I'd prefer to live.
If anyone's got some extra job~ma, I could use some on Monday morning. I'm not sure whether I'm going to take the job if they offer it, but not-interviewing-badly~ma is always good.
One of my supervisors has put in her resignation, and wants me to be her successor. As she doesn't have the authority to outright hire me herself, we shall depend on our powers of sensible persuasion to get me the job.
Right, so a bit of ~ma for that would be great, please and thank you.
You know that commercial where the kids are going to Disney, and the little boy is all, "We're too exciiited to sleeeep!" and the parents are too? That's me tonight.
The Day has arrived; we're moving in. Most of the little fiddly stuff is over there, but I'll be finishing the breakables and some foodstuffs in the morning while the SO & our board member & buddy haul the big stuff over. Assuming they can dig out through the snow.
What this means to you is a) soon there will be picspam, oh yes, and b) I will be likely going grey for a while. Haven't heard from the radio internet guy yet, so we'll have to see what happens with that.
Meep! Hope everything works right!
I'd best return any residual 'ma back to the pool.
Last week I told people in the Firefly discussion I am writing an adventure for the Serenity RPG.
Today I sign a contract for pilot online comic for TokyoPop.
They both want everything done within three weeks.
So I am going dark for a bit. And I thought before I do, I'd best get rid of any remaining 'ma before someone else drops an opportunity of a lifetime on my lap with a crazy deadline.
Haven't been here cause my computer's not that functional. Wish me good luck in replacing it.(and if you have any thoughts about what I should look for in a new one, please shoot 'em to my profile. I check every day.)
