On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I feel like one of those guys the next cubical over who keeps asking to borrow a pen every day, because he never has one of his own. (Always a guy, never a woman.)

I just e-mailed the place I hope to get hired by, asking for a time frame. I'm hoping of course, that rather than giving me a time frame they will say "you're the one".

Anyway asking for jobma vibes one more time on the same job as the other fifty times I've asked. Thanks for your understanding.

And jobma vibes from me to Brenda ~~~~~~~~~~~`.

Mostly lurking...

My little brother, Jon (21), has to have surgery on Thursday. He has been getting cysts, and they want to remove something (cyst track maybe. Boy…I’m showing how well I listen, huh?) to make it so he won’t continue to get them. My mom is flying to Chicago tomorrow to be with him. This is when I hate being so far away. Vibes, thoughts and prayers sent Chicago-wards would be appreciated.

I'm going to be going dark for a few days - not only is work ramping up (again!), but The Husband is sick and in need of being looked after. If anyone absolutely needs to get in touch, the profile addy is good.

Flying to SoCal tomorrow morning. Gonna be completely dark 'til Tuesday, as long as I'm not kidnapped by the Order of Glitter.

Hi folks - still don't know if I have the job or not. But I will know on Friday. They told me they are making a final decision by Friday and will contact me then to let me know.

Thanks for all your good wishes so far. If you can just keep them up through Friday....

I admit it; I'm a vibe slut.

I'm going with shrift (or she's going with me). I'll also be AWOL until Tuesday.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hi All.

My nephew Chris joined the National Guard a few months before 9/11.

He has been called up for duty.

He leaves Sunday for an unknown destination.

Frell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm going dark for a few days for work and a trip to Vegas (Yeah Baby!) and then dim for a week or so for work. I will be checking email, if any LAistas have questions/RSVPs for the Huntington Garden Tea Room. (See Press #348 for details)

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I have a second interview with the same people I interviewed with last time I posted here at 5pm EST today. The first interview went so well, I'd appreciate any more jobma you could spare.

I had a interview today. Second with the same company. It went well. Wish me a job offer, fabulous riches, health benefits and a decent 401k!
