Hello, and a request
« on: February 09, 2006, 11:12:35 AM »
I feel weird posting out of the blue when I actually do browse here fairly frequently. :) Mostly to see updates on Mistborn and stuff, actually, but also to catch up on the old TLE gossip.

Speaking of gossip, I'm not sure if I've told y'all that I'm expecting a baby April 2. He's a boy, and I think we'll name him Raoden. Okay, maybe not.


Also, my husband has been looking for editing work since early October and has found nothing by looking the normal ways. I know at least several of you are working as editors (whether in Utah or elsewhere), so if you know of any job openings where you work, please let us know. His email address is jonathon at galacticcactus dot com if you need to reach him.

Thanks!

Well, if you didn't already, look at the "Hey Ms. Fish" thread on the same page and look at the Wizard's link. Three postings for editor jobs there.

Well, technically Ruthie is part of TWG and her husband by proxy, so he counts.

That was not my first post (you'll notice this one is my fifth, not my second); I just haven't posted much. Actually, I think I registered for TWG a long time ago under a different name, but I couldn't remember what it was, so I registered again.

Thanks for letting me know about the Hey Ms. Fish thread, Tink.

(It drives me crazy to feel like I probably know many of you but not by your screen names. :))

See, I only tell you guys these things because of *my* evil plan: get all my friends to move to Seattle. And it seems to be working. Muahahahaha. ;)

Ruth can be part of TWG if she wants to. She hung around with us in TLE when TWG was forming, so she's a founder-by-association.

Ha! I've been vindicated by Tage (who has much more authority than me). Yea!

Have any of you played Darwinopoly since that night at EUOL's workplace lobby?

Ooh, nice use of name-dropping. Take that, Sprig!

That was ages ago, wasn't it?  But actually I introduced it to my highschool friends back in Ohio and they loved it.  I have no idea if any of them still play it though.

Yes she can be a part of TWG, I never said that she couldn't, she's just not right now.  In my mind, to be a 'part' of this website, you have to have worked and contributed to it for a significant amount of time.

I still regard Fell as being a newbie, and he created TWG. :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
