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.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!
OK, it's not yet 100% official official, because the official offer letter has to come through HR. They called to let me know they want me, and to find out my current salary so they could be sure they were meeting or exceeding it. The official offer is supposed to come tomorrow sometime. I told them I'd wait for the official offer to give a definite response, but my strong inclination is to take the position. They know I'm missing most of the week of Thanksgiving because of my parents' 50th. Current plan is that I'll give notice on Monday, have 10/25 be my last day here, and start sometime between 10/30 and 11/4.
Wow. I'm giddy.

Xposting from Natter:
ita, Burrell, Alibelle, Aimee and any or all other LAistas:
I have a shopping plan. There are possibly 2 or 3 places where ita could find something gorgeous enough for her. There's a few stores in Santa Monica.
Then Pasadena has some shops in the Paseo which might work, esp. for shoes. Though, ita, the store I like best there isn't particularly you, but they do have sort of day timey clothing. The consignment shop we go to in Pasadena is also fabulous. They have plenty of casual jackets and long sleeve stuff in. And a whole bunch of fabulous dress up dresses. The consignment shop won't freak you out, ita, and it would satisfy the fabulousness desire of both Ali and Burrell.
If you want to the do the Kat certified shopping tour, with the included lunch at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffle, then e-mail me or call me. Anytime tomorrow works for me.
Aimee, call me on my cell(the number you called on Wed) about lunch today! I won't be able to check e-mail before then.
