George W. is coming to my town today, and I'll be attending the adjacent peace rally. I'm looking for some good signage ideas. If anyone attended any peace rallies over the weekend, and noticed or created anything especially nifty, please email me at lingmao@iac.net. Thanks!
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

iiiiiieeee!
That job interview I've been burbling about. It's most likely happening TODAY, at either 3 or 4pm (Left Coast time).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
ok -- I need good vibes to get mem home tonight. I did one of those things which shouldn't be able tohappen. I put diesel fuel in my car. I just started it -- and was able to get it smooth -- but I don't leave work 'til 9. good vibes that I make it home and use enough gas to throw some hi-test in.

Okay. I know now my LA schedule. It is not a happy one.
I will be in LA and free from 10 pm tomorrow night until 10 am Wednesday morning. Much of which time I expect I will be asleep, due to jet lag. I go back early evening Wednesday. Which I think makes it un-possible to see LAistas.
Damn and blast. Not to mention, I'll miss Buffy!
Also, I will be staying at the Airport Sheraton. Guess I'll bring my earplugs. Oh, well. Next time ... so close, yet so far!

Queen of the Drive-By
I have a new car!!!!!!!!!
That's right, after months of torturous car shopping, I am now the proud owner of a 2003 Kia Spectra. It is silver, and has A/C, a CD player, and after today, will have cruise control. It was so exciting to get in and see the odometer reading 38 miles! I had to leave it at the dealer last night so they could install the cruise control, but they will be delivering it to me tomorrow. In the meantime, they gave me a Ford Ranger pickup to drive.
Although I will be paying for the damned thing for five years, I am happy to report that I got it all by myself, no co-signer, and I got a fantastic interest rate (6.25%). Boston Buffistas, expect to see me as soon as I can find a free weekend!

Mostly lurking...
It's official. I have a new job. After causing me much panic yesterday, I got a voice mail at 9am this morning. I called them back, worked out a couple of details and accepted the position. I start on Tuesday.
Can I say WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, it's almost-dark me. I didn't get that job as court advocate -- they hired in-house, BUT they liked me and asked if I was interested in the position the woman is vacating.
I said yes, of course. So we shall see.
Miss you all, but on the upside, I am obnoxiously cheerful about my last 2 weeks on the job.

grr argh. I didn't get the Xbox editor position. My interview went really well, but the ONE editor who wasn't AT my interview offered the position to someone who he interviewed for an entirely different position. Hmmph. Oh well, onwards with the job search.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Attention Ellen or other Somervillains!
In a strange case of deja vu, I need directions to the viewing tonight. Please drop me a line at victor@quantumredhead.com.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Finally got my review and I'm actually quite happy with it. It addresses all the crap that happened prior to April, but my supervisor made it a point to say "greatly improved" and the like if she wasn't giving me an all out compliment which I'm surprised about because she doesn't hand them out readily. And, I got a 3% raise! So, all in all, went well.
