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.
Happy Valentines Day!
If you didn't get a valentine it is because I don't have your address! Much love to all Buffistas.
I went back to my ENT today.
I'm having surgery on March 27th and will be off work for about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, my doctor dropped the bomb that the surgery may not recover my senses of smell and taste. He said I only have a 50/50 chance of them returning since the swelling in my sinus may have damaged the nerves in my sinus, damage that cannot be reparied. This was an unexpected turn of events which I wasn't prepared to hear.
Hey - going dark for the long weekend while sis is here. Hopefully I'll see LA istas this weekend.
Interview today went really well--they seemed so impressed with my event planning experience I'm almost afraid they'll think I'm OVERqualified. (I'm not, really. I know. And even if I were, it's only ten weeks, and the hourly rate is suh-weet.) They need a coordinator for a big fundraising auction because the foundation director will be on maternity leave, and the assistant director, who normally runs the auction, will be the acting director.
I have high hopes of a second interview, so jobma vibes would be great. Also, please vibe my DH right about now--he has a job review this afternoon, and is worried about the outcome. And since thinking before he speaks isn't one of his gifts, *I'm* worried too.
