I'm around Friday morning, then dark until Sunday the 17th, as I am off to the Pennsic War. Wish me good clubbing!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Going dark for slightly over a week-- until Sunday 17th or thereabouts, depending how long it takes me to catch up.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My agency called and said that my references checked out and they'll let me know if I'm hired by TUESDAY.
Buffista Jobma would be much appreciated.
Some don't-die-ma would be good too.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I didn't get the job I had wanted. Over-qualified-but-you-have-a-great sense-of-humor-don't eva-change, it's not YOU it's US, we wanted an internal candidate, let's be friends, and hey, when we split up the CD collection, you can have all the Miles Davis, because you deserve it.
I'm stuck. It's hopeless.
They really should make these calls at the end of the day, because now all I can think about is going home, ordering some chinese, and crying into some noodles.

Another social casualty...
Hugs to Allyson. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to want a job you don't get.
But, I just got off the phone with my DH, and he got the job. We're moving back to Florida. We're going HOME!

Most likely going dark grey until sometime Tuesday -- off to some family bonding in New Jersey!

Up with the sun
I'm grey-to-black through Wednesday -- work trip. Have fun while I'm gone.

I'm going to Florida tomorrow and will be running around like a crazy person (sorry, Laura), so I'll be dark until next Sunday.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
In spite of North Carolina having a relatively cool, unparched summer so far, and in spite of having a lovely job (at the moment -- next month, who knows) with terrific coworkers, I'm still hoping to settle in the Pacific Northwest and teach at a community college. The fabulous Smonster brought me all the necessary info and paperwork for not one, but TWO possible English teaching positions in Oregon. So any available jobma would be appreciated. Also, I'm welcoming suggestions on how to convince potential employers that being in publishing rather than teaching for the past eight years isn't a horrible thing for a would-be teacher.
