So on top of all the events of the past day or so I'm now out of a job too. I had to spend the day getting my car towed to a shop and apparently the communication that there was a problem was either never received or ignored by my former employer and the temp agency who signed me up with them... who actually never left me any contact info for who ( Read more... )

After about four hours in intensive care and some surgery, at about eleven o'clock last night Lynx died of complications from a ruptured bladder. For a moment he was doing better and it looked like he was going to make it, but after going home and hoping for the best we got a call that it didn't work out.

And that's it. I've quit MarketStar and will move on to Nexant on Tuesday. I hope this all turns out. I'm nervous, but I think it's due more to leaving familiarity than any worry of things turning out badly. I'm glad to be rid of MarketStar but after just over four years of employment there walking out into the sun is a little blinding. Anyway, ( Read more... )

Hmm, I may have a new job on Monday... I'm waiting to see for sure ( Read more... )

So I may have to avoid either lentils or pineapple. I ate both of those things in a short span of time and soon after my bottom lip swelled up. I suspect it may have been the pineapple as in my subsequent internet searching I've read that a big dose of acidic food can do that to you. Of the two I prefer that it be pineapple. Apparently it isn't too ( Read more... )
