Still waiting

Well, we still haven't heard anything, despite more phone calls. But I have developed an itchy rash all around my midsection and on my arm: the physical manifestation of the angst coursing through my body.

If I were an animal, surely I would have chewed off my own arm by now.

Still, we move forward. This morning I made a lunch date with a former colleague who is a lovely person, a former debutante, and an ESL teacher. Over pad thai Friday, she will give me tips culled from her years of experience --including the famous "Animal Sounds" pronounciation guide. If only I could somehow learn to channel her wonderful personality.

I just accepted a meeting for next Tuesday and sadly erased "Last day of work??!" from my calendar.
