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.

Going dim as I escape the ice and snow for sunny Orlando for a week. See y'all.

Well, that was darker than I had intended to be.

Coming up for air, going back below soon.

Love to those who need or want it; I'm alive and doing OK, just utterly swamped at work.

Those of you who have my IM information, please feel free to use it. Those who don't have it but want it, please e-mail me at the profile address.

Take care of each other, lovely people. The world needs all of you.

Going to be dark for approximately the next week, as I road trip across the Midwest.

Take care.

Happy Saturday too good for regular Natter! First, did our taxes and thanks in part to some new tax credit I'd never heard of, we're getting $2100 back! Go graduate school and unemployment!

Second, we found the perfect house to rent! It's a bungalow, built 1920, 3 br, hardwoods throughout, built-in glass cabinets, working fireplace, front porch swing, for $$ which is good in local terms. And in a perfect location so I can walk to work instead of the 3 hours daily on a bus I've been doing since Sept. (For locals, it's in Trinity Park).

Hereby passing on housema to them as needs it, especially Nutty who I know needs it, and Anne who is looking to buy.

Just got pre approved for a house/condo loan. Housema is appreciated.

Wrist is broken. Will br reading but not typing much, probably, for next several weeks...

I don't know if this is appropriate placement, but I didn't know where else to put it.

I got an email from an unknown-to-me address this morning: buffys999@hotmail.com, entitled something like, "Some questions". The file was 167Kb and included an attachment. I deleted it, because it smelled like a virus. On the off-chance a Buffista was trying to contact me, please let me know ahead of time. Thanks.

anti-hurty vibes to meara

This crazy job. It drives me nuts, it's occasionally very stressful, I have to deal with frustrating people, and coworkers are leaving.

So what do they do? They give me a 10% raise.

Now I feel guilty for goofing off on the board so much.
