Ahaha. I accidentally RSVP'd to an Downton Abbey Meet the Cast Event at the Manhattan Apple Store next week and now I am filled with rue that I cannot go.

In better news, my Xmas tree will be here in about 90 minutes. And the old guy who runs my Xmas tree lot is so, so sweet. He makes me all verklempt.

I'm looking in different areas than you, PMM, and I'm still unemployed five months on, so I probably wouldn't be helpful. I ran into some "chat once or twice a year" people at a Friends' Thanksgiving dinner, which led to a job application and a request for work samples this morning. I also have an interview for a job at a local university this Friday, which is kind of unexpected, actually. The U is notoriously slow at calling people in.

In other news, I had my checking account temporarily wiped out by someone who stole my debit card info. 44 separate charges to Shutterstock, not all of which my account could cover. Luckily Shutterstock noticed something was weird and put everything back. But there are still about $450 in charges to places like Starbucks (someone added money to a card online, over and over) that I'll be disputing. My credit union isn't charging me any overage fees, and they cancelled the card in question. Still it was quite the surprise this afternoon.

Oh Calli, how terrible and stressful.

Has anyone, or does anyone know anyone who has moved to Hawaii? It's looking kinda likely that I'll be taking a job on Maui.

Should this pan out, Buffistas are welcome to come visit.

Calli, ugh.

What jobs do those people have now?

Job hunting. :)

Basically.

Would that I were not kidding, because if any of the ones I know had landed a gig, I'd at least be able to look at what they wound up doing, nod, and say, "Yes, I should try for that!"

My goodness, Debet.

I think I had pecan pie three times this weekend. Pecan pie is the best pie.

Oh, no, Calli! Easy resolution~ma, that's awful.

Wow, Debet, very nice! I had an uncle that lived in Hawaii for a while, that probably doesn't help. Everyone else I can think of who lives there is from there. And I haven't talked to in ages.

It's looking kinda likely that I'll be taking a job on Maui.

Sweet!

Ooh. My boss lives on Maui, Debet. I would totally come visit. ;)

I...they liked me? Everyone liked me? So they should be making an offer and background stuff.

I'm almost employed. I hope it's a) continuous and b) contagious by ethernet packet.
