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!!!!!!!!!!
Mal: Ready? Zoe: Always.

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
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.

After a fabulous whirlwind Buffista-filled trip to the East Coast I am traveling back to San Francisco tomorrow. Wish me luck as I make the incredible eastern seaboard dogleg, flying down to Baltimore, going to Dulles, then flying to SF. It's going to be a long day.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was very dark today and probably will be during the work day tomorrow as we got new iMacs at work and people will be hovering around my desk trying to set it up.

I'll be going semi-dark for the next week, as I'll be in Sydney, making sure (in John's absence) that the whole city hasn't been destroyed by bushfires, seeing my sister in an opera, and visiting friends, including one who's had a baby since I've last seen her. (The baby's called Lilah! The parents are not Angel watchers AFAIK.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I will be fully dark next week. I'll be in Vegas (yeah, baby yeah!), whooping it up with my friends from Alaska. We're staying at the Stardust, so I'm hoping for a Wayne Newton sighting.
