Talked to Mom this morning. She is fine. House in pretty good shape; one piece of siding is loose. Tree limbs down everywhere. No power. She said after her diuretic had done its work (TMI! TMI! ) she would go to her friend Sue's house if Sue has power. No word from Uncle/Aunt in Nags Head. And send...

A friend's mom suffered a heart attack after evacuating from the Jersey shore from Irene. She's on the road to recovery (catheterization tomorrow), but because of all the airline snafus, my friend is unable to fly in. His dad & sister are on their way back down to the shore to determine the damage t...

I hope those of you in the path of Irene manage to get some sleep tonight!

Ymo, that is badass indeed!

Whoa.

Vibes that evacuees have a very easy, minor clean-up when they get back home!

Could it also be mouse elbow? I get pains when I use my laptop mousepad too much (instead of an external one.)

I think the phone interview went well. The questions were, "How soon can you start?" and "What are your salary expectations?" The HR person that I spoke with is arranging a phone conference with the hiring managers and will get back to me. Okay, one day later and I didn't hear anything back regardi...

Ouch. Hope everything goes smoothly, including recovery. Take your pain meds.

FutureDA is finally going back to sleep. (woke up from her 'nap' an hour ago....)

Good night?

Umm, several questions/points: 1) AD: Are you being interviewed? My understanding is that HR has contacted you... or is it a full-blown interview? 2) AD: Why DON'T you have a passport? I'd get on that NOW. 3) Ontario has some mighty fine brew! VIBING! :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: Se...

Headed to a good deli today, Ozzie? ;)

Finally got FutureDA down. She's got a slight fever, poor thing - I would guess it means she may be starting to teeth already.

Time for me to head it in - sleep while she's sleeping, and all that.

Received an email from cheerdaughter. They are in a gorgeous hotel on a lake in Kunshan. It was about a 2 hour bus ride from the airport. Since they have to get up in a few hours to start their day and slept a lot on the three plane rides, they decided to stay awake and try and make it through the ...
