Upcoming events and updatey things

"So other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" Okay, it's been better than that. My Monday interview for the job I actually want went reasonably well, but it's the guvmint and they're not really clear on when they'll know if they can hire me (or anyone else interviewing for their open slots). My Monday/Tuesday discussions with the contracting company that just knew that they had a "match" for my skills demonstrated that not only did they not have a match, they didn't know what those skills were. So that was fun. After wrangling with them for a few hours, I went to go see "Knives Out," which I thoroughly enjoyed, and had a fruitful conversation with a friend. The short version is that I'm still not in the job hunting mindset yet, i have two events this weekend, one next weekend and then a couple of big online sales and such at the end of the year, plus a whole bunch of outstanding writing, class planning, etc. that I'm still working my way through. So I'm going to gamble and put job hunting on hold until January (which is probably when the job I want would start anyway, if I get it and they can hire me). It's going to be exciting to figure out what to do re: health insurance so that's on tomorrow's plate.

In the meantime, hey, buy some books! I hear they make great gifts! And if you're in the Twin Cities area this weekend, stop by one or both of the following and say hi!

• The L Spot's 2nd Annual Queer Author Holiday Gathering - Eat My Words Bookstore in Minneapolis. Saturday, November 7th, 1-7PM. I'll be reading at 3PM from selected titles and will be selling books until 5PM.
• GPS Holiday Emporium - Saturday, December 7th, 9-5PM. Queen of Swords Press will have a book table, shared with local author Michael Merriam.

Now back to the grindstone.
