'War Stories'
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.
Last minute work trip to NOLA. I'll be there next Wednesday and Thursday (2/4-2/5), and I'd love to meet up with anyone around on Wednesday evening. I've pinged smonster and Nora, but I'm not sure if anyone else is going to be in the area then. Discussion to happen in F2F if necessary.
edit: Spelling. More coffee is evidently necessary.
The Teacup family is expanding! Our little teacup (ltc) is due mid-August! We're beyond excited. I'm only posting here for now until I can get in touch with all of my relatives, so please no comments on other social media until I post there.
X-posty with FB:
As of this Friday, I will no longer be an employee of that company that makes Orphan Black and Doctor Who. After almost 11 years here, I am moving on to manage content operations for that company that sells books you can listen to and advertises on many podcasts.
I could use all of the "take my house back please"~ma that you have. My deed-in-lieu application is going in for approvals today, and I will have an answer in three to five business days. Please, please, let them say yes. Otherwise, I'm screwed.
For those not on FB, I learned after an MRI this week that I will not be able to run the marathon I've been training for since November. I'm pretty bummed. But it's not a stress fracture, which they'd feared; it's just really bad bursitis. That means some time of complete rest (no running, no elliptical, limited walking), but I will make a complete recovery and start training for several more half marathons this year. My next one is in May. I plan to try again for the LA Marathon next year. Thanks for your support and for those who donated to my run. The dogs at Westside so appreciate it. I hope you'll consider supporting my second attempt next year.
I am humbly asking for click-votes for the Washington City Paper "Best of" list for 2015.
In 2013, I realized that they did not have a Best Life Coach category, which seemed odd since there is a category for best place to buy fur handcuffs. (not kidding)
So, I worked with their very cool staff for two years and here it is!
I sincerely want to reach as many people as I can and would be so grateful for any and every email address you can spare.
The best news is, they do NOT spam and any email address will do.
The link will open in a new window.
Many, many thanks...this is my version of asking for ~ma for a new job!
Have been, as the kids so cleverly say, future endeavored. Taking the rest of the week off before I start hunting.
Some Buffista ~ma this afternoon and evening would be appreciated. My business is auditioning tonight to pick up a new long term contract. It would be managing the audio duties for another business unit with a client I already work for. We are providing equipment and mix support for a band tonight to prove that we know what we are doing and can give the client a good mix.
If we have any Buffistas in San Jose, or who have connections in San Jose, can you guys shoot me a message at the profile address? I'm trying to help a friend and her husband out with their apartment hunt in that area.
