Through the Rabbit Hole--and a Squee-worthy Development
What a strange day it's been, these last 24 hours!
Went from feeling mopey about Portus to being inspired by people's creativity, and now--thanks to machshefa--we've got portus_envy up and running! I'm excited that people are already joining and starting to post. I also spent the morning putting together a mirror asylum of the comm for those who exclusively use Insane Journal, so whew! I feel like I've hardly had time to breathe. But please, keep joining, posting and pimping! The more people who get involved, the more fun to be had by all.
Also, my mother just called me with some wonderful, wonderful news. As some of you know, she graduated at the top of her college class back in December, after going back to school. She got a job after graduation, but it wasn't what she wanted; it was just paying the bills. About two weeks ago, she put in for a dream job at a University (not mine) in the Arts and Sciences Department. On Monday, she went for the interview, after I spent the weekend trying to pump her up and get her ready. By yesterday, she'd convinced herself that she'd bombed it, despite all my assertions to the contrary.
This morning, they called her and offered her the position. Naturally, she said yes.
Then she called me and sobbed into the phone.
I'm so proud of her and happy for her! She's absolutely earned this, and I hope she enjoys the hell out of this. I think she'll be perfect in the job, especially as she'll be relating to students. They're going to love her.
In conclusion: today is a good day. Also, the sun is shining.
Also, somebody appears to have drunk all my coffee. Who could have done that? ~looks innocent~
