Sunny News Update

[Moon Shyne]

Part of why I've been missing the first of the month's FAQ has been some rather
significant health issues with my parents - though that seems more under
control, at least for the moment.

The other part was that I was going through a fairly rigorous interviewing
process for a new employment position - so starting Monday, I'm one more rung up
that food chain ladder as a programmer/analyst for one of the largest
corporations in the state. While I'll still be a webmaster, this adds whole new
facets to the position.

I'm psyched.

:-)

I hope so - this 'sandwich generation' stuff is hard sometimes, isn't
it?

Thanks for all the good wishes, ladies - tomorrow I have some reconstructive
surgery on my left hand, Friday I can be a lady of leisure, and I start the new
gig with orientation on Monday morning...

Hand is a mess, though getting better, I suppose - fingers way swollen, though
today I can use them a little bit.... no pain killers since Friday to see if
it's manageable (it is, mostly).... 7 outfits picked out for the new job that
will fit over the splint..... stitches come out on the 22nd.

Thanks.....

Bought a 20 pound bag of ice for the ice packs, and keep it propped on 2 pillows
nearly all the time - sleep that way, too - it's turning some really interesting
colors today <G>

And tomorrow, off to the new job - have a shoulder bag for my papers so I don't
have to carry much of anything

So far, job is way cool - I'm now fully equipped with my new Blackberry (which
my daughter calls a 'crackberry'), my new nifty laptop, my VPN set up - they
reimburse for my monthly parking, and let me expense DSL for the computer - so
I'll be making those arrangements in the next month or so as well......... I
already have 3 projects going, and approval for 2 on-line classes!

By now, I just want to rip off this stupid splint though - my fingers are sort
of purple, though no longer swollen, and the novelty has worn off - not to
mention I'm runnng out of blazers that fit over my hand/wrist...... <sigh>

But hey, ya shoulda seen the other guy! (that's my story and I'm sticking with
it)

Actually, they're always looking for referrals - what kind of work do you do?

Well........ my kids got laptops for Xmas, my brother out-law built them for the
kids....... so I was kind of jealous too until Tuesday....... and I found out
yesterday that once we get cabled for the 'puters, they can be on line at the
same time I am, so there's no more arguing about computer time...... think I'm
going to go wireless, so everyone can be in their own space

I suppose.... my stepmom sent me some really nice trousers and jackets, I'd hate
to chance messing 'em up.... I'm just impatient to get this splint off - it's
only been a week today, though it feels like eons..... next Tuesday the stitches
come out, so I'm guessing the splint will be gone, too (I hope)

I quit working for rural law enforcement agency, to finish
college....currently I substitute teach , but still do advocacy work with
abused/sexually assaulted women.
I am one year from BA Criminal Justice, then another year of the masters
program, then on to law school, p/t , of course, and when the kids are a bit
older......

Lotta hard work, you should be proud of yourself! I'm in a whole 'nother
industry though, so can't say that there's much to offer you - I'll keep an eye
on postings though...

No such luck - about 10 years ago, I whacked the back of my hand into a sharp
corner - and it was during a marriage where any illness was considered a major
inconvenience, so I never had it looked at. Turns out that I fractured 2
metacarpel (pointer and middle fingers), and they didn't heal right. Fast
forward to January when I slipped and hyper extended the wrist, and aggrevated
the whole thing, and after x-rays and some other funky tests, it was determined
that I had a mass that had developed over the bone overgrowth when the bones
kept trying to heal right over the years...... so the mass is gone, and they
removed the overgrowth of bone, essentially fracturing them again, but so that
they will heal properly - no cast, just a splint - and tomorrow is the end of
the stitches, thankfully........

Still a bit stiff, and the grip is dodgy at best...... but every day it gets
better...... and I can type again, which makes my job a bit easier.

Thanks for asking, and for all the thoughts :-)
