I'm sitting here, wallowing in the luxury of five episodes of Yami No Matsuei, thanks entirely to the generous spirit of the incomparable torch.
And I've been racking my brains for a week to know how to thank her appropriately for being such a wonderful, sharing fan and friend, and I can't think of anything I could say. She already had my undying love, based on her writing and her support over the years. Sigh.
I'm also wallowing in the luxury of not being at the office any more. I had a major stress attack. I was afraid they'd love me to death before I got out of there today.
Buehler and I left it that we'd talk on Monday when I go to the office to meet with Bernie. I figure between the two of them I'll be working close to 30 hours a week. With Buehler covering my health insurance, I can easily make it until Coco's job comes through in January...assuming it comes through.
Conscience is bothering me, though. If I accept Buehler's and Bernie's offers to keep me working until something breaks on the job market, I feel I'm obligated to stay working for them if they find the work to bring me back full-time before Coco's position comes through.
Assuming they don't drive me nuts between now and then.

Tell them you will help them out until this job opens up in January. That way if you *want* to keep working for them full time, if that option comes up, you can always say the CoCo job didn't materialize, but if and when it does, they have fair warning that full-time or no, you will be taking this job.
I did. Let them know. It's now up in the air whether or not they'll want me even part-time for the next two months.
For one thing, after they had me in yesterday, they discovered how tough it is to keep someone busy all day...it's different than having an employee who has their own tasks and is self-starting.
