'Shells'
Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
I've been debating when and how to announce this, but I can't think of a good, Buffista-y way to do it.... Besides, it's about time Beep Me had some good news in it.
So I'll just follow in Charisma Carpenter's footsteps and announce something that I think some folks have already guessed. I'm pregnant. We're 4 months along and expecting in August. And we are very happy.
Thanks to all the jobma vibes, Mrs. Wolfram got the job she interviewed for. It is 5 minutes from our home and more than double her current salary. There should be a link to this site on Monster. Anyway, thanks Buffistas.
I'll be dark from mid-day today to (probably) Tuesday morning as I'm going to a convention in San Jose.
I just found out that the sister of a former coworker was among the victims of the fire at The Station. She survived, but is still in the hospital, in satisfactory condition with burns on her upper body, arms, head, and face. Her belt was fused to her skin. Vibes for her and the other folks who are recovering from horrific injuries would be appreciated.
Many wishes for a swift recovery, DX.
On a hopefully lighter note, I'm going to be travelling this weekend. Driving the old Beast from Nova Scotia back home to Richmond, VA. On the way I'll be passing through most of the I-95 cities between here and there, but unfortunately I probably won't be stopping (unless someone along the NY/NJ Expressway or Jersey Pike feels like offering a place to rest. Profile email is good) except to sleep along the way. However, I will be in the central/northern VA area with easy access to DC and Baltimore if any Buffistas want to get together in the next month or two. Again, profile addy is the place to send mail for that.
Here's hoping for a safe and uneventful journey.
Well, the Apocalypse has come.
I have found out through the company website that I am going to be terminated today.
Thanks for all the good vibes.
Ok. A little quick, but good with the news.
Long ago former boss and former co-worker now run an employment agency. I called them today and let them know what was going on. Turns out they have a new client who is looking for "someone just like" me. They are getting more details and calling me Monday. I am emailing resume tomorrow.
I am in Belfast!
I'll be back in Edinburgh soon but now I'm in the internet cafe by the bus/train station. Can you tell?
Edit: Belfast is nice -homey even.
