Soon. Right now the biggest thing I'm trying to get a handle on is how far reaching this crazy load of work is going to be. If I can get a few of the possible longer term things feeling more in the "probable" rather than "possible" column, then I can really start to look at a real assistant situation.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Finally caught up. Last night was great with my uncle. Sat in his Casita talking until 2am. He cooked some yummy steaks on the grill, we ate while watching the sunset over the pacific (he's camped at the Bolsa Chica State Park right on the beach). Tonight he came down to work. I gave him the super tour of the theater. Showing him the gear, taking him on stage, into the catwalks, to all 4 corners of the building. He was like "now I see why your so tired after work all the time". Then went out to dinner, which he loved my choice. Thankfully, he's one of the few family members that LIKES ethnic food. Then took him to see Gregory Itzkin show SHIPWRECKED, which he LOVED. On the whole, he seems to be in a good space, so I think I can release the lovely ~ma y'all tossed our way last month when his wife passed. Sounds like there is much need for it in here.
Hey, any LAistas doing anything Saturday. Currently day is OPEN and wanting to be social.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sox, thanks for the link but part of the job package includes the perk of the new company handling the marketing/selling of our house. We've got a guaranteed buyout after 60 days on the market so that's a huge relief.
We should know more in a few days about a house buying trip (company paid). I've been looking online so I know a bit about the market we'll be looking in.
Fred Pete, it's Steven's Point. Not sure if that's good or bad.
meara, yay Seattle!!
billytea & wallybee enjoy the penguins!

Wow, that's great.
Good to see you lived through the last few weeks, Drew.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Glad your uncle is doing so well, omnis.
Cash, I hope this move turns out to be as great for you as it sounds, once the whole wacky moving thing is out of the way.
Daniel just came over to my desk and emptied the overflowing trash basket for me. Out of the blue. Well, ok, maybe not completely out of the blue to him. Seems like he had this wild plan to take the trash to the curb, and as preparation for that, he took trash out of the house. Totally out of the blue to me, as I keep forgetting that Friday is trash day now. We switched garbage collection companies several months ago. Plenty of time to adjust, and yet.... Good thing Daniel remembers.

yes - this! we have a bit of marketing assist, but no buyout. Hence the fretting-by-internets lately. And the St. Joseph. (ceremony is sometime Saturday in Baltimore!

Mostly lurking...
Yay for Cashmere’s news! That is so exciting!
Oh, Sean, tons of ~ma headed to you and your family.
Yay for VW's research orgasm!
I misread this the first time as "Yay for VW's reaching orgasm!"
And I blinked a few times in mild surprise. (Only mild surprise, because this *is* Bitches, after all.)Coffee! Coffee all over my monitor!
I’m just imagining myself coming in and actually sharing that I’d reached orgasm. I mean, I’m pretty open, but, um, yeah.
So, I just met with a student that I had met with earlier in the week. I had worked with her, sent her home to do some major reworking, and a few hours later she very proudly e-mailed me her new version—that had not integrated *anything* we had talked about. I was so frustrated—not with her, but with me.
I just met with her again, and it went so much better. I approached it very differently and she got it. YAY for that! Then she had a fun assignment for another class that we worked on. I can’t wait to see the next version of her paper. I’m very hopeful.

speakers get hung all over the palm trees around Beverly Hills so that holiday music can be piped in.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Fred Pete, it's Steven's Point. Not sure if that's good or bad.
Other end of the state. I grew up in Beloit/Janesville, which is south of Madison. If you drive up from NC, you'll probably go through there.
It was not a good fit for someone like me. I still have issues.
