1. Finished Bujold's Shards of Honor, because I might be the last SF fan in existence to read these books and I thought I needed to correct that. I was suitably impressed and will be starting on Barrayar soon.

2. Dear Reverend Selena: We love you, but if these expensive trips to the vet don't stop soon, you are going to have get a job of your own. I'm just saying.

3. Speaking of jobs: Dear Universe: I really need a part-time position that pays between $14 and $15 per hour and is 20 to 24 hours a week and no more than an hour commute involving no more than two buses. I need this so that [livejournal.com profile] careswen can free up more time to build her psychotherapy practice. I know this might be much to ask considering the crummy economy, my complete and total lack of marketable skills, and the fear and dread you see in the eyes of hiring managers and HR people when the gimp walks into an interview, but still, it never hurts to ask.

4. Dear Muse: A vampire novel? Really? Oh, I get to write them as the deadly monsters they are? Cool!

5. Is there some kind of fair or something going on right now?

Freelance tech & business writing might be a workable gig for you.

Good luck on the job hunt. Not easy, these days. I know. Although, my temp agency finally just came through for me with a long-term position at the wage you mentioned. Maybe sign on with Adecco and hope for something at the U? Or the VA Medical Center -- that's a nice place to work too.

I read Barrayar many years back. I don't remember much of it, though, so I guess it didn't make an impression on me. I never really cared for her iconic character, Miles V., but I liked her early stories in Analog.
