There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Hee. It's such an incestuous little theatre community out here. I think I knew about the possibility before you did.

ND texted me the news of the vacancy, but I was up to my hairline with the first show in the new theater. But this was MH calling me asking if it is something I'd be interested in.

Yep, I know. He and ND had a long talk about how perfect you'd be for the position over a month ago. Meep! (Not getting hopes up. Really.)

Great. Over the past two hours, I seem to have developed a cough. I do not need this. I REALLY do not need this...

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.
Be well, Anne.
Looking cross-eyed at Hil's ankle. Ankle, do yourself a favor and let the woman sleep. It's better for both of you this way.

My face is flush. For lack of a better phrase, I'm being head hunted for a gig back in CA.
Yeah, baby! I'm so happy for you.
And {{Hil}}. I'm sorry you're going through all of this, for such a long time now - both the pain and the advisor. I wish you happy things, if only for the sake of balance.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thanks for the support, WindSparrow. I went "ARGHHHH!" on Facebook, and some people gave me some good advice. I just have to plough on and hope very much that my crappy body gives me enough working time to finish the dissertation, I think. I spent most of yesterday evening in floods of tears, and there was no Girl to comfort with cups of tea (she has gone to Israel), so I'm a bit 'meh' this morning. Going to borrowed-uni's library to see if being out and about persuades my body to stay upright, at least.
Hil, I can relate to stress. I hope it's getting better, at least. Is there someone other than your advisor who can write the letter of recommendation? Someone for whose course you've TA'd, or similar? Less-pain~ma for you, too. Have you been able to sort out the codeine/pain management situation with a doctor yet?
In the UK, a law has just been passed stating that the second same-sex parent can be named as co-parent, instead of a father, on a child's birth certificate. This is reassuring, as The Girl is likely to be birth mother if/when we have any children, and I worry about my legal status. All the same, this hasn't been tested through the courts. I hope it doesn't get challenged in cases of divorce etc.
omnis, wishing you very good luck getting the gig you can't talk about!
