Guys --
Someone you will remember my friends Gary and Traci, whose 2nd baby boy was born last year with heart problems, which required immediate surgeries and extended hospital care. Several Buffistas donated money. (Thank you!)
They've been selected to be the 2012 Ambassador Family for the March of Dimes.
I just got laid off.
And my Dad just had a stroke. He's in the ICU overnight, but otherwise things seem OK for now.
I have a new piece up at Hilobrow on Joris-Karl Huysmans author of A Rebours (Against the Grain) which is the ultimate in Mordant, Dandy Aesthetics.
Clicky on the Like buttons is good for business.
Can I get some job-ma for my sister?
She's interviewing for Head of Library Collections at our alma mater today, and I reallllly want her to get this job! It's a half-day interview with a presentation.
Thanks!
No other way to tell this, Maria (MFNlaw)'s husband died at home this morning. Just finished talking to her and she's with her parents, headed home with them. I don't know what else I should share on the open board. Feel free to email me at my username dot 1 at the gmail. Please keep her and their families in your thoughts.
Could I get some interview-ma at 3pm board time today? I've got a phone interview with the HR person at Isilon!
Thanks for the interview~ma! I made it to the next level, and will be having a phone interview with the hiring manager in the next two days.
Ha! Phone interview with the hiring manager is in, oh, three minutes. Interview~ma, please?
Whoo, that's some strong ~ma! They're scheduling an in-person interview with me in the next two weeks.
