Thanks for the apartment-ma, everyone! I heard earlier today that I did indeed get it, and I'll sign the lease Friday and move in on Aug 15th! Yay!

For those of you who have my (current, work-related) email address, please change it in your address book or whatever to my new address, which is (my first name) at earthlink dot net.
Also, generalized jobma would be appreciated. Friday is my last day. I'm sad about leaving all these awesome freakazoids I've been working with for 5+ years. SO BE NICE TO ME PLEASE.

TomW and I leave for the UK tomorrow afternoon, so we'll both be pitch black dark for about 2 weeks.
See y'all when we return.
I'm heading out of town tomorrow after work and therefore will be dark until some time on Monday.
If it's not asking too much, the BF, previously mentioned around these parts, is up for a pretty significant promotion. He's already interviewed with the direct manager of the new position and gotten her recommendation, but he still needs to get through one more round with the district manager. So if any spare vibes could be vibed toward my favorite crazy swordfighting guy at around 4:00 ET/ 1:00 Board time tomorrow, it certainly wouldn't hurt.
Asking for interview-ma at 2:15 eastern time, I guess that makes it 11:15 board time. I'm interviewing for the job I already have, in an attempt to go from temp to perm.
thanks.
Numfar, do the dance of employment!
I have a job!
.....IN CAIRO!!!!!!!!
Huge thanks for all your fabulously effective -ma, people. Bless you.
Housema would be appreciated - we fell in love with a house we can afford on paper, but that's about all we'll have left iffn we buy it - our contractor is being a pain in the arse about starting our addition, and well, I won't break the board telling the whole story. Just vibe at us, please, that we'll make the right choices, and finally have a home where we actually fit.
Diana update: The new liver is working properly so far, and she's scheduled to be moved to a standard hospital room today. The new kidney is a bit slower to start up, but apparently that's normal, and she still has partial function from the kidneys she was born with, so apparently that's not a worry yet. So the appropriate outlook seems to be guarded optimism.
I'll be going slightly grey in the weeks to come, as I'll be not sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day. In fact, I leave the office in a few minutes.
