My first geeky book review video is up! Yep, you can see me flail and squee in the office where I do all my communicatorin' with y'all.
And maybe you'll get het up to read something I recommend. Different genres covered. Feel free to share the vid anywhere! (Just don't mention B.org. Y'all are my Fortress of Solitude...well, you get what I mean.)
Feedback welcome; I'm a vid noob. [link]
Thanks for the 'ma people. Apparently I have a job offer. I just met with the person who is my would-be new boss and they are coming after me.
I need (desperately) some sanity 'ma. If I leave, people at my current work are going to be awful for a period of time. If I don't leave, I think I'm going to regret this decisions for the rest of my life.
Wow. I didn't know how I felt about it until I typed it out in black and white! More in Natter.
Requesting house~ma for the inspection that's happening today on our old place in Salem. We really need this to move forward quickly, so I am requesting the awesome power of Buffista ~ma to get us through! Thanks.
May we please have some Mom~ma headed this way this morning? My mother is having an epidural procedure done on her neck this morning. She has pretty severe spinal degeneration and herniated disks, but at 90 there are not a lot of options. If the epidural doesn't work she will be on serious pain killers the rest of her days. Her mind is sharper than mine and she hates taking pain killers because of the side effects. All procedures are more complicated at her age. I appreciate all good thoughts and prayers that may be directed at Mary in Bonita Springs. Thank you.
If I could please get some unspecified ~ma for the next several weeks? I would really appreciate all positive thoughts sent my way! Thanks!!
I have an interview tomorrow at 9:00 am. Could I get some interview~ma, please?
Some calm~ma would be helpful. Having my foot surgery this morning. I'm not so much nervous about the procedure itself, but my body seems to choose these times to bring on the nausea. I plan to explain this to the anesthesiologist so they prep me appropriately.
So... um... funny thing happened at lunch today. Daniel and I were going out to celebrate the 7th anniversary of our first date (and coincidentally, the 10th anniversary of meeting in the Hellmouth Cafe chatroom)... and he asked me to marry him.
I made him wait a good ten seconds before saying yes, because I'm cruel. And also was speechless there for a bit.
