So it looks like one more interview with this co. that makes 10th person he will have interviewed with . But actually, given what this co wants to do -- all these interviews make sense. we are cautiously hopeful. Matt will be interviewing around 2 ( board time) tomorrow.

Some ~ma for my dad tomorrow would be very welcome. He's been having severe problems with the circulation in his hands, which has led to things being very painful, having sores that won't heal, etc. He's going in for a procedure tomorrow that may help clear things up.

He seems very sanguine about it all, but given that he makes his living through his art, this is all very scary and worrisome.

Releasing most of the jobma~~~ except the smooth transition part. Matt got a formal offer from the place of a billion interviews and has accepted it.

Stepping (again) out of the dark just to let you know, due to the terror attempt that was in Jerusalem few hours ago, that I'm fine.

Now, getting back to the dark, and to my studies.

My dad told me last night that it looks like the surgery didn't get all of his prostate cancer. He won't know more for a couple of months when he goes back in for a follow up, but radiation or chemo is a possibility. His recovery from this surgery has been pretty miserable, too. So yeah. A little health ~ma his way would be appreciated, and a whole lot of fuck cancer.

Do we have anybody in Charlotte? I'm going to be there from March 15th to the 20th, though the 15th is really the only free day.

My sister-in-law's brother, who I posted about a bit back as being diagnosed with terminal cancer, passed away last Friday (as, through a bunch of circumstances, mainly assumptions on my mother's part that I don't blame her for making, I just found out). He was 40. The treatments to give him a little extra time to travel or just a little extra time didn't work.

Fuck cancer.

So, turns out my Mom had a "small" stroke on Saturday morning. Finally positively diagnosed yesterday. She gets some further testing today. She says she's really feeling the difference in walking (already not great for her with diabetes and back issues) and increased pain and she really sounds like she's getting very depressed.

Any damage not too extensive, easy recovery, positive feeling-ma would be appreciated.

DCistas, I have 3 vouchers for food at Union Station. They are good until 12/31/09. If you'd like a free lunch, let me know and I'll mail 'em to you.

Hey, if anyone has any spare "find the right job"~ma floating around, I'd like it. My last day here is on Friday, so I am now officially in the hunt.
