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!

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I need more jobma.
Position I was offered is now being opened up to everyone. I am only semi-qualified, and a little gunshy of boss right now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I need healthma.
I'm going in for an ultrasound at 3:00 p.m. board time to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. My doctor doesn't think it's likely, but there was this one very tender spot that could be several innocuous things but also just might be ectopic. And since the earlier you catch them, the better the outcome, it's best to err on the side of caution.
Naturally I'm scared. What I'm hoping for from this afternoon is most of all of course to find out that the embryo is in the uterus where it belongs, but as a secondary thing, I want the ultrasound to be conclusive one way or the other, just for my peace of mind.

Major jobma needed.
Recruiter man just called. Sounds like there's a possible contract. It would be a good one.
Knocking on much wood.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jobma here too -- first-round phone interview tomorrow, so not getting hopes too far up. But whatever ma I can get will help.

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
