The Seattle weather forecasters must be tearing their hair out. We have been promised a snow day here in the city. Little children all over Puget Sound clutch their hearts in hope. So far, no snow a-tall. I understand to the north and south of Seattle proper there is plenty of winter weather to go around. But right here the snow from a few days ago ( Read more... )

It's Official!!!! I am jobbed! I have been offered, and accepted, a job with Children's Hospital here in Seattle as a Research Assistant! I owe much thanks and gratitude to mikigarrison  who made me aware of the job and also brought me to the hiring Dr's attention. And practicing my interviewing skills with me, which is part of what put me over the top, ( Read more... )

Aaand Hippo Birdie to my little brother, and also to my friend Anna. And probably to some other people. These things do happen. (People. They happen. When they start they are small.)

Unofficially, I am extremely happy and excited about something. About which I should have official news tomorrow, and I shall jump up and down and shout about it.  And ( Read more... )

Or at least it feels that way a bit. I have been spoiled by Allegis for four years: working at home, able to waltz into the office anytime before 9:30 when I did work in the office ... 6 am is early, y'all. Ahem. Now that I am at least temporarily gainfully employed by a company that gives a crap when I get there, I have to haul my sorry self up in ( Read more... )

OK, now I do have good news! I have a temp job starting next Wednesday. Whew! Money was getting a little...interesting for next month. But I will manage Yust Fahn now. Ish. The job is sort of indefinite, and there is another Prospect that I'm investigating that would be a really good career move, even. So I think I am feeling a little better about ( Read more... )

I feel I should post, or update, or do a con report of Orycon, but I'm afraid I don't have a lot of oomph in me at the moment, so forgive me for being a little on the hasty and shortshrift side. I shall blame it on the weather. Although it's sunny today. But still dang cold. (Those of you who live snowy places may laugh uproariously at this. I don' ( Read more... )

Which is an awesome new song by the Pretenders, and let's all just dance around in happy about that. Because sometimes, you just need a little dancing around in happy.

Quick and dirty update - no gnus is, well, no gnus. And I haven't any. Still looking for a job. We'll just see how it goes. I made not quite $100 last week on transcription (after I  ( Read more... )

Well, postponement for a day. The New Job Place decided it would make more sense for me to start on Monday. They aren't wrong, exactly, but it does mean I'm rearranging. Or maybe not. I think I deserve a day off, after all. It's not a giant huge I'll never eat again punch in the purse, so I think I may just go for it. There are so very many things ( Read more... )

The great temp job hunt has had me out with spears chasing the elusive long term temp to possible perm job for some time now. But I have cornered one, and though it be sore wounded, I think I can triumph in the end. It will make a tasty meal  income. I begin the new temp assignment on Friday, so for Halloween I shall dress up as a competent ( Read more... )

Dreams still smacking me about the brainscape, telling me that I'm in an unnerving situation that is making me uncomfortable and nervous. Well, duh.  Really, I go to sleep thinking about happy things, and then dream about being late, being mocked, being lost, being chased, and general humiliation and confusion. Yay. I especially love the dreams ( Read more... )
