Nothing Really Special Today - but - ohh- Candy!

[sisabet]

I was booed at work. Apparently it is a good thing. I came back from lunch and there was a bag of candy at my desk. If I had known candy was on its way, I would not have gone to lunch. There was also a paper explaining that I had to put this picture of a ghost up on my cubicle to let everyone know I was "booed" and that I had to "boo" 2 other co-workers tomorrow. I was chagrined to be roped into doing something nice for others without my prior consent - this is like the office equivalent of a chain-letter. Then I realized that there were Tootsie Rolls in my bag and I immediately felt better. I noticed that some cubicles had these photocopied ghost photos up this week, but I had no idea this was going on. I just thought the office was being decorated for Halloween by really depressed people (which is not that far off from the truth). The moral of the story: uh, Tootsie Rolls justify minor inconveniences.


Sweet Lord, I've started vidding "Mission Temple Fireworks Stand." I can actually see most of it in my head - there is still a part I have not worked out, but still. If it sucks - blame Dawn. "Last Stand" appears to be finished. I'll have to look at it again tomorrow to be certain, I'm too sleepy now.

Finished?

SQUEE!

P.S. I would be the one to tell you that you should try to get that vid shown at Escapade. Slashers will squee.

[luminosity]

I second that Squee. With capital letters. Escapade would ... well. *I* know what they'd do. heeee! I mean, squeeeee!

The Last Stand

[(Anonymous)]

Hooray!

I want Last Stand to be finished because:

a) I want you to work on "Mission Temple Fireworks Stand," and
b) I want to see the finished version of "Last Stand."

And my sympathies on the booing. I hate stupid games at work. Not even Tootsie Rolls can compensate. Hershey's Kisses, maybe, but I'm not giving up my Scroogeness for a Tootsie Roll.

Besides, that Boo thing sounds suspiciously like a Pyramid Scheme. Hey, remember the episode of Angel when Harmony got roped into the Pyramid Scheme with the vampires? I kept trying to explain why it was a mathematical impossibility, but no one on the tv would listen.

Oh, this is Miss Murchison. I seem to be suffering from an unusually severe case of incoherence tonight, so I'll leave now.

Sqeeage here there and everywhere

On second glance, that header looks kinda... icky. Oh well, it's meant in the best possible sense. So, for the record, yay, you! And I'm totally down with bonibaru, send that puppy to Escapade. Not that I'll be able to make it this year either, sigh. I almost think it's unfair that I got to go once; now when circumstances keep me from going I have a really good idea of all the things I'm missing.

Me, bitter?

Oh, you betcha. :)

Escapade!!!

Whoa - first of all - thanks for all the kind comments, secondly - how would I even begin? Escapade is in February, right?

Oh - it's finished - just had some other, non-vid problems crop up tonight. I will try to get it posted tomorrow when my head is clearer.

Hey Sisabet,

Truth-searching woman here. Maybe Scully gave away the baby because she got bored with the whole being a mommy routine.
I had fun with the Smallville season premiere with Lex rushing to the school, "I came as soon as I heard"- the look on Clark's face when he thought Lex was addressing him (priceless) Thanks for the id on Mrs. Luthor- she's a babe all right.

Job-wise, I'm in kind of a bind. It's still most likely Columbus that I'll end up in, but they just hired a new department director who doesn't start until January and now they don't want to make any more hiring decisions without his input. (i.e. he may decide to limp along until the center is officially open in fall 2004, or to do an open casting call- interview a bunch of candidates and see who jumps through the hoops.) There is basically no hope of me staying in Cincinnati. (no $ to keep me on.) I'm am frantically looking into other jobs. I don't know if I can go back to the homebase like Dr. Dawn- my field is very undervalued and under present management, again, no $.
Apparently they are quite desperate for someone in Peoria, Illinois. The job sounds fine and I will interview in December. But, PEORIA? I just don't know if that will be a fit for me.
I still have to look at a possible position in Portland, but I haven't figured out if it's a reputable hospital.. (It has neither "children" nor "university" in it's name.)
I would be in full scale panic, but a)i'm often medicated and b)I figure I'm still alive for a reason that the universe needs me to do something. Even though that something may involve unemployment, poverty, and a guest appearance on the Wayne Brady show.

Whatever. Good news: my hair started coming in. Bad News: it's coming out again. It's all very Paula Abdul. "Two steps forward, two steps back" - a bit like her body image: fit and healthy, thin, skinny, chubby, chunky, thin, American Idol host, skinny etc.

Hey if for some reason the Columbus thing pans out, you'd at least visit me, right. I mean isn't that like HeadQuarters or something?

By the way, did you see Birds of Prey? I haven't decided how I feel about it yet. It's kind of like Charmed without all the skanky clothes and varied hairstyles. Also no Cole.

Oh, about the candy. I hate nothing more than a chain email. Even the "nice" ones that say, "if you send this to 15 friends in the next thirty minutes something really nice will happen to you, etc."
Of course, you always have the option of eating all the Tootsie Rolls and "regifting" the candy corn or whatever...

Take Care, Kate Spade knockoff

Peoria?! Hmmm... I know nothing at all about Peoria. They have a children's hospital? More importantly, do they have a WB station? I wish Cinci would work out - esp. if we end up back in Lexington. That would be great. Of course Lexington wouldn't have work - it sucks - I checked the postings in my company there today as well and nada. Maybe I can go back into counseling.

Yes Columbus is HQ - but who cares about that - of course I'll visit you there (I'll even visit Peoria for that matter). I'll try and bring Cappy (little sis's alias) and the older, much more unbalanced one. I was a little worried about Dawn this weekend. She was acting all kinds of weird on Friday. I eventually figured out it was due to a hard call and no subsequent sleep. Yep, that'll do it.

I'm sorry to hear about your hair - Dawn said it was coming back in. This just sucks. Its a glass that is neither half empty or half full. I'm gearing up for hat making time if you want in on a couple - just let me know what you want. (This time I will take it to the P.O. since we know what happens when Dawn is in charge of that).

I am a firm believer that yours is a necessary presence for the universe to function properly - so keep with the calm and hopefully it will work out. Or you can do the patented Sisabet family response: complete and utter denial. Remember when Cappy said, "I am not in denial. I just choose not to think about stuff that makes me feel bad." It works for us. That and large does of SSRIs, but still... If all else fails, come live with us - you and the bro. The more the merrier. I'll make Dawn get a bigger house. We can get each other hooked on our shows. We could vid the X-Files together. Remember the screen-save that was my life's work? It'll be like that -only better.
