Thanks to all who offered sympathy about the job yesterday.

Better news today: a different job, which I mentioned a while back (in a locked post, because it involved news that was not mine to make public) came through today. Huge relief - it hasn't been at all clear that the funding would be available for the position, so while I knew that ( Read more... )

Anyhow - congratulations!

Thank you! And yeah, I can't believe how bitter I am about Angel. My loathing for the WB is rapidly approaching FOX-like proportions.

They always need articles! And the Fearless Editor has been rather busy this spring (she had surgery in December and is having surgery again in June), so she hasn't been able to browbeatencourage people to write as much as she normally does.

Oh dear -- I knew about the December surgery, but not the upcoming. No wonder she's been out of touch. I should probably just write something up and send it along. In my copious free time. Heh.
