Jobma vibes greatly appreciated for my 4pm (EST) interview...

I now have an interview at 10:00 a.m. (PST) tomorrow. It's for a part-time admin job. I'm avoiding anything full-time that's admin-ish, but am open to part-time clerical stuff as a way to pay the bills while building a freelance client base. A plus side to this one is I'd be doing some business writing as part of the job, and would be meeting folks from a different range of local businesses than I've run across in my previous experience.

So, jobma vibes appreciated. I'll also take wisdom vibes, to keep me from desperately grasping this or anything else unless it's a good choice.

I finally made hotel reservations for my LA marathon trip. I opted to stay where I wanted to as opposed to staying within a block or two of the marathon starting line. Now I have to examine the transportation issue of getting the 16 miles to the race.

I chose The Cadillac Hotel on Venice Beach. It looks old and art deco filled and beachy. We’ll be there Sat and Sun night the 1st and 2nd of March.

I opted against getting tickets for the official carbo-loading dinner with the marathon participants in the hopes that I might be able to talk the LAistas into hosting a foamier carbo-loading event Saturday night.

After the race on Sunday I plan to feast on my traditional after race favorite, pizza and california rolls. I haven’t thought far enough in advance to know where I will consume said feast.

Talk to me LAistas, let’s get coordinaty.

Thank you guys! I just opened my mail and got the best present ever!

You rock oh so much and I will be thinking of all of you while I'm in blissed out spa heaven.

*smooch*

PS Yes, I hit the wrong thread first. Just another example of how much I need stress reduction.

Sometime between now and Monday (but don't count on it) I should hear about the job applied for. Please - strong, strong buffista jobma vibes.

My friend is not going to Iraq! Apparently his battalion used to be part of the 101st Airborne but has since been detached.

Numfar, do the dance of non-combatance!

He is, however, staying in Korea, within shouting distance of the DMZ/Kim Jong Il/the most highly trained army in the world short of ours.

Hey, everybody, remember peace and prosperity? Wasn't that fun?!</bitter>

ALSO: I got a callback for this thing which I shouldn't mention here because I just know they have those keystroke reader programs installed on our computers here at work. But it's good and has money.

Just to let people know, I'll be going dark from tommorrow for a Valentine's Day long weekend in Savannah with Bec (er, of course). Have a good one all.

Galapagos pictures and captions are up for your viewing pleasure. Let me state now that Kevin wrote all the captions, and no one gets to laugh at the stupid hat I'm wearing in most of the pictures.

I'll be dark this weekend as I'll be in Boston for Boskone.
