May I request a bit of -ma?
Galleys of "The Weaver & the Factory Maid" are now in the hands of reviewers and bookstore owners. If there's too much feedback in the nature of "this is great, but it's too unusual to really be called a 'mystery' novel" it could kill the rest of the series deal.
Ed Kaufman at M is for Mystery, on the basis of the PR and synopsis, is reading it this weekend and deciding whether he wants to host an "event" at MifM.
Requesting "love this book!" -ma, pretty please?
Any Buffistas out there interested in attending the Arab World fair this weekend in Milwaukee? Have tickets, would like to pig out on great food and ogle belly-dancers with friends.
I'm leaving in a few minutes for my OB appointment and our very first ultra-sound. Healthy!Baby-ma would be greatly appreciated.
I'm excited but extemely nervous as well.
Dark to blackout level until Monday night; we're off to LA and our laptop is nonfunctional at the moment. So unless someone offers computer access, silence it shall be.
But we'll see all the LAistas who want to be seen this weekend.
I need a MASSIVE INFUSION of jobma svp. One of the hiring-type people from the place I want to work called me last night and said they want to talk to me AGAIN, TODAY, at 4:00. I don't know what they want to talk to me about. I guess they have some question about me? Or they just want to look at me again because I'm so pretty? Or perhaps they need to know about my makeout techniques. Or maybe they want me to be there at 4:20 so we can all toke up! They want to know if I am a "square."
I DO NOT KNOW. All I know is I'm supernervous and would really appreciate any vibes/voodoo spells/magick kabbalah hoohaw sent toward getting me this job.
I got a call this afternoon and set up a second interview with the company I interviewed at yesterday afternoon.
The general manager said he had some people he wanted me to meet.
Meep.
Jobma appreciated. "Remembering how to be funny, intelligent, and charming in a group of total strangers whom I need to impress"-ma also appreciated.
I am no longer unemployed! I start Monday week at a large midtown financial-information firm. It's good money, but the commute is close to two hours each way. The work will be interesting and challenging. Ongoing don't-screw-it-up-ma greatly appreciated...
It worked! I also = employed now. The money sucks (it's even less than I was making at my last job) and the hours are punishing, but it's a nice place full of nice people and the work should be interesting.
Ongoing don't-screw-it-up-ma greatly appreciated...
Same.
Meep.
I have twin knives in a leather harness.
Thank you guys SO much.
Going grey for the next week. Even telecommuters have to check in at the home office sometimes.
