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.
Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the belated photgraphic debut of Buffistina Monkeypants Frances Lucy Burrell at one week old. (She's almost a month now.) Awww, isn't she a wee beauty?
And her rawther pretty parents doting and glowy with love for their baby child.
This is a big, fat, very public THANK YOU to the Somevillans (alright, some of them were from Cambridge or Wooster or some place in Rhode Island-- but fact is they're awesome) who made my birthday a very happy one. Thank you all for bringing food and yourselves and squiring me around and being gleeful and weird. I'd also like to thank Ellen for being a most gracious and tolerant hostess. ::MWAH::
Two years ago hell broke loose on my home and I was so grateful for the haven of the Buffistas who kept me informed and sane throughout. Last year, I was warmly welcomed by the Haligonians and my special day was delighful even on such a dreadful anniversary. This year the Somervillians shared their own special brand of (though not as drunken as one had been lead to expect) lurve.
It seems that, instead of going away, my B-day has become a Buffista branded event. I am truly blessed.
Back from San Diego.
Heading for Jacksonville this evening. Will be dark until Friday.
No slumbernuts were harmed in the making of this post. Any more than they deserved, anyway.
I am going more or less dark for the near future. We're finally moving into our new house on Friday, and they're cutting off our phone (and fax, and internet) access sometime Wednesday. No idea when they'll get it working again at the new place, as we currently can't find the 'phone line....
It's been a lot of hard work, but our house is beautiful, and Benno loves it there.
Could I request some nonchalance-ma for a difficult afternoon?
My grandpa died last night. He's been in the hospital since before I left for school, but... still.
Second interview went well, pretty sure they're gonna make me a job offer this week.
On the other hand, doc wants my father to get a pacemaker 'cause his heart ain't doing so good.
