I have several unopened packages of electrodes for a TENS unit that should go to someone who can use them. Profile addy good.
I just applied for a position at NBC for which I am SUPREMELY qualified. So if any of you knows somebody at NBC... or even know somebody who knows somebody at NBC who could help me lift my resume out of the pack a bit please get in touch ASAP!
So, a bunch of us (me, debetesse, SuziQ, and FayJay) are on a GISHWHES team, and one of the items is for someone in Seattle to go to a Guinness record-breaking event, dressed as a French maid. Anyone game? More info: [link]
Note on Hil's post: if you do the thing, I will knit you something of your choice. Our team is not above bribery.
Another GISHWHES item is to make a Twitter account pretending to be Orlando Jones and get at least 400 followers. Anyone who wants to help, we're @Or1andoJones.
If anyone knows someone who controls the Twitter account of any federal agency (of any country), and thinks they'd be willing to tweet something for GISHWHES, please let me know.
Health~ma for my mum, please. She got through her knee revision surgery fine, but she seems to have gotten some kind of infection post-op. I didn't get a lot of information because part of the problem is that she's having a hard time speaking. She's all raspy and says swallowing is like swallowing razor blades and even drinking is painful, let alone eating.
My dad had a heart attack this weekend. It's his second, and while he's doing okay, I'll be dark from Tues-Sun while I go stay with my parents to help out. Which may involve sitting on my dad to keep him from doing anything he's not supposed to do.
