TCG's step-mother is going to meet us there. We've gotten this close to the election without discussing it. I'm hoping our luck holds out tonight.

oof, car~ma to Deena and sj. I'm glad the mortgage company was understanding.

I think Tom's interview went well. It's a 1 year contract job and the money would be less than ideal but it's at Haaavaaahhd and it's better than nothing, at this point.

He has another interview with a regular non higher education company this afternoon. He came back to my office to eat lunch (leftovers) and change his clothes and return some calls. It's tough to do 2 interviews in one day, the one he just had lasted well over 2 hours. So, continued job~ma and energy~ma for Tom would be most appreciated!

He has another interview tomorrow morning in the 'burbs (not the ones near us, unfortunately.)

I'm hoping our luck holds out tonight.

Oh yeah.

Jilli, I'm sure you know a million people who would order your undergarments for you, but I wouldn't mind doing it at all.

Oooooh, that's a good point

I'd be happy to call if need be. I love talking to English people ;)

He'll make all kinds of contacts there.

Yep, that is the big upside. Once you're in, it's much easier to move around. Benefits are good too.

Exactly. A good computer guy/gal is worth their weight in gold at a university. If yours is really good, you try not to tell people or they'll try to poach.

I know temping at Harvard got me through a bad year until I got a job with my current company. Plus, your employee ID can get you into Widener Library. No lending privilages, but man what an awesome library to just soak up the atmosphere of.

Smooth~surgery~ma to The Boy and lavender~scented~calm~ma to Steph. You definitely deserve a damn break, lady.

Job~ma to Tom!

I've been ignoring the friend requests from Dad's pals, but they send them again and again. The only nice thing I can say about it is that two of them have said I look exactly like my Mom (one even said, "Hi, little Debbie!"), which is a complete compliment as my mom is smoking hot.

The reason why I am not linking my livejournal to facebook is because I suddenly have a lot of family friended on facebook, including future in-laws. So, I am keeping things pretty general there. The interesting things is I have found some cousins I had lost contact with their and found out things that I am pretty sure the rest of my family does not know about.

This is why I have two facebook accounts. One for friends, one for work/relatives.
