ETA: Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of you fabulous volunteers! We've got all the Buffistas we need.

Attention jobseeking Bay Areaistas and friends and beloveds of same:

If you have any experience with transcription, especially medical transcription, there is a job awaiting at UCSF. In my department, for my old boss, and in fact more or less (there's been some people-shuffling) sortof-kindof my old job. Not great but decent pay, very secure job, excellent benefits, oddball quirky office in which you'll be allowed to dress as you like, pull in some overtime if you need it, and when circumstances and frustration warrant vent with a good loud "Fuck you all you fucking fucks" without a Big Stompy Foot squashing you flat like a dead panda.

The HR site at UCSF doesn't allow links to individual listings, but if you're interested or you know anyone who is, email me and I can point you to it. I'm also still friendly with everyone in the office and would be more than happy to schmooze and chat up anyone and everyone to help out a fellow Buffista or a Buffista beloved.

On the same vein as JZ's post, if there are any Chicago-area peeps who are looking for an accounting job, let me know.

This is the monster posting for the job, but if you want to apply, I can get a referral bonus if you get hired. So, don't send to the email listed in the posting, send to me!! Profile addy good.

Books up for grabs! If anyone wants any of the following books, email me at my profile address and I'll get it in the mail to you shortly. Some are hardback, some paperback, some in excellent condition, some in crummy condition. I'm happy to answer questions about them too (over email, or in literary, I don't hang in natter). Sometime between Christmas or New Years, anything unspoken for is headed for Goodwill.

I've got another show opening...

Jammin' With Pops

I can get comps and/or discounts if people would like to see it. Opening is Monday night.

The poll is spoilery for unAmericans for this season of Angel, so if the leader of your free world is not Bush (and hey, it's good to be you!), take note before the vote:

Rob Hall of AlmostHuman, the studio that has designed the demons for Angel since season three, in their humbling latex generosity, are bringing along a few of their creations to the Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue.

We couldn't decide who everyone really wanted to see, so Rob suggested polling the fans. "Fantastic idea," said I.

Pick your favorite Angel demon.

Any NewYorkistas not on the mailing list or those Buffistas in the city next weekend:

Whether you celebrate Chrismukkah, Festivus, or some other made-up TV holiday, join me, Jess PMoon, Tom Scola, and other NewYorkistas at a Holiday Game Night on Saturday the 13th at my place in Brooklyn.

And by holiday I really just mean drinking will be involved--getting into the spirit(s) of the season so to speak. No holiday games will be harmed during the making of this game night.

Christmas carols may be played; other musical (and game) contributions welcome but songs involving Santa, red-nosed animals, or any variation of the word "rock" are strongly discouraged. They make the Baby Jesus cry.

Email me at my profile addy for directions and details.

ETA: Lurkers welcome!

If any Baltimore/DC-istas know of anyone who would like to become an Office Administrator (that is, a Receptionist/Executive Assistant) in Downtown Baltimore (South Charles St.), e-mail me or have them e-mail me at justkim71 AT yahoo.com.

I don't know the pay rate, but I do know they are looking to hire relatively soon. and the candidate should be able to multitask and handle a lot of stress. The good news is that the previous holder of the position is taking on new duties and will be there in the office to provide training and help.

East Bay Buffistae!

We've added a signing in your neck of the woods.

When: Sunday, 14 December, 1:30 p.m.

Where: Bonanza Street Books

Address: 1605 Bonanza Street, Walnut Creek

Please do come along. Directions and street address can be found at their website, at

Thanks! All copies happily and gratefully dedicated.
