Vortex, make a run for it!
Hil, that is good news. Keeping the job~ma headed your way.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sounds good, Hil--where is she now?
I just talked to a boss (not mine, she's on vacation) about whether I could take next week off, since they canceled everything. She said sure...then called me back a few minutes later to see if I wanted to go work in South America again, instead of taking vacation. Boss' boss is now checking if they need/want me and where. Could be interesting...

Hil, my university, which is something of a carbon copy of yours, has responded to the financial crisis by choosing not to replace retiring tenured faculty and increasing the number of people on contracts, who actually make a profit for the institution. So everyone who teaches undergrads was renewed for the next year. Hopefully it will be the same at your school.

Our wings are not tired.
Oooh. Theatre. Whatcha seeing?
Neil Simon's Plaza Suite. Looking forward to it. Nice tiny regional group. 140 seat room. Should be fun.
Allergy sufferers need acupuncture. Relief without drugs. Yay!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks. Right now, the word is that the department will announce what's going on at the department meeting at the end of the month.

I would totally do that, meara
I think the fact that I would too is a sign I'm in the right place! :) Boss just emailed the Latin America team to ask--she said if they haven't responded by 10AM tomorrow to go ahead and take the vacay. Which I will also gladly do.

Laura, Fun Theatre!
And you are totally right about the acupuncture. I'm calling my buddy whose practice is a block and a half from my house. She came several times last year while I was sick, and I trust her completely.
In the meanwhile, I did opt for the Zyrtec and can say with a cautious YaY that it is, in fact, the bomb diggety.
My mind is clearer, my nose is drier and I no longer feel as if I am gargling glass.
Awesome stop gap until I can get in for the pokes.
Sigh. What a relief.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
