New day, new cafe.

To answer Andi's question from the old cafe, I'm still in limbo, but should know something today. Making this Day 6 of waiting and wondering.

Nice little dusting you have there on your woods. We had a few flakes yesterday too.

Re: Froggy Bottom Humpday Cafe (4.00 / 7)

Ah darn, sorry about that. Still keeping my fingers crossed, then.

Re: Froggy Bottom Humpday Cafe (3.86 / 7)

I'll let you know when I hear something. I actually stopped worrying about it yesterday afternoon, and didn't pick back up again until this morning. The person I need to talk with has been out of the office, yesterday was their first day back in, and they had to catch up on he work that had piled up in their absence and without their second-in-command (who resigned last week). So our discussion got pushed back to today.

In the meantime, I have some extra work to work on to help offset any downtick in the short-term. Or at least pay for whatever the dermatologist prescribes for CBtE on Friday. :)

CBtY is such a sleepyhead today! I guess you don't have that problem with the pack, do you?

Re: Froggy Bottom Humpday Cafe (4.00 / 7)

I wish I had that problem with the pack -- especially since Giddy's latest crotchety old dog trick is to refuse to sleep inside at night but decide she has to come in between 3-4 a.m.

As for the rest of it (jobs, doctors, sleepyheads) ... good luck.

UGh, 3 or 4 am? What a charming old dog trick. Not.

I think I'll be taking a nice stress-relieving walk later today. :)

Eh, the longer I wait, the further I get with my alternative employment plans. If they let me wait long enough, I'll have whole new career path lined up and ready to go. ;)

I can't decide whether the lack of urgency is a good thing or a bad thing.

Good morning Andi and CG. It's c-c-cold here, mid 20s going up to 35 or so. Break out the shorts.

Re: Froggy Bottom Humpday Cafe (4.00 / 7)

It was 22 here. Ice-cold after those high 60s last Friday and Saturday.

To keep warm, I have given up and started wearing socks (I have a lifelong dislike of sock-wearing) after reading this article. It seems to be working...dang that scientific stuff. :)

Interesting article. Interestingly enough, last weekend we were mulching leaves. Madame boran had on a winter coat and gloves, I had on my t-shirt. Go figure.

Re: Froggy Bottom Humpday Cafe (4.00 / 6)

Y'all sound like a sampling of customers at our local supermarket on Saturday. 60 degrees then, thirty degrees 24 hours later. Today we're struggling to reach 20.
Nice meteor shower last night, though. An absolutely brilliant sky.

Good morning to all. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, CG. Limbo's no fun.

Hi WW (4.00 / 6)

Hope you're doing well and keeping warm. We've been pretty cold here but nothing lower than thae mid-20s -- still, that's unusually cold for here. I guess that's the penalty for the gorgeous fall we had.

Well we remembered to do that but we didn't get the firewood covered before all that rain and with the cold it's going to take awhile to dry out.

Dejaview, huh? (4.00 / 6)

Sounds cool.

How are you this morning? I overslept a little, so now I need to give CBtY the hard push to get up for school.

And today is CBtE's last exam. He should be home to start his vacation by noon. Ah, joy.

Re: Dejaview, huh? (4.00 / 6)

Yep. Soundviews, anyone? I need to pull them off my mostly dead powerbook, though. I wish I knew what the kids did with my firewire...

Re work: nope. Had a couple of emails about work stuff, not one mention of the whole "we need to talk" thing from last Friday, no phone call.

I'm wondering if they're just hoping that I get the message and take steps to line up something else and alleviate the need for any actual discussion. I would like them to just come out and say it (if they're going to) so I can more actively pursue whatever I'm going to do, without worrying that things might work out and I'll want to back out of something new.

Ack. I was thinking about posting a YouTube of the song "Sitting here in Limbo" this morning. :)

That's really shitty of them. Can you just call them out on it and say you need to know what their plans so you can make you own?

Re: Dejaview, huh? (4.00 / 6)

I'm thinking about that. What I really wanted to do (before this happened) was start working in the office 2 days a week, and the rest from home, in an effort to better control my workflow (I'm tired of it dawning on people on the 20th of the month that they haven't sent me enough work to meet my contracted hours).

I also have the feeling that they're sorting out what to do now that the senior director of writing has left. You'd think that would give me more security, wouldn't you? But then, they were dead slow in August and most of September.

I'll probably give them a call later this morning. I need to get my irritation in check before I do that, though.

Minor update (4.00 / 6)

I called and left a message that I wanted to discuss things.

If I don't hear anything back by the end of the day, my CV is going to hit the airwaves, with the thought that I'll launch the full job search assault on December first. Just in time for the holidays. :)

Re: Minor update (4.00 / 7)

It's very cold down here too....way below what is normal for this time of year. Apparently I have become southernized because I am freezing and huddled under sweaters and throws like an old woman. Pretty soon I'll be keeping an old used kleenex up my sleeve like my grandmother used to.

Re: Minor update (4.00 / 6)

We had flurries on Wednesday. At first I didn't know what it was. That's how southernized I have gotten. My first thought was there must be a wood fire somewhere and little flakes of ash are blowing around.

Re: Minor update (4.00 / 5)

We'll get flurries a couple times during the winter. Sometimes a dusting. Rarely an accumulation which paralyzes the city as you can imagine with barely any snow removal equipment.

While I lived in Asheville, where there was probably a bit more snow than you have, 2" closed the schools. They didn't seem to have sufficient snow prep in place either.

Maybe you can sneak some vodka (4.00 / 3)

into work in a travel mouthwash bottle (I got drunk in my high school library that way -- only it was gin).

Sorry about the bad news on you Gov, Manny. It's really surprising they'd choose her when it means the state will have a republican governor. I wish I could figure out some way to get rid of our governor.

We listened to PEN American Center's "State of Emergency" and found 1940s books by Curzio Malaparte only at Alibris. (Selection (MP3) excerpted from "The Skin.")

Banned Books * Are you a fan of Film Noir, Art House, Documentaries or Hong Kong Action? * Searching for a long-lost children's book or a first printing of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue on vinyl? Find it at Alibris!
