So let’s see: A typo in the last thing I added to the post below (this morning, while rushing to leave for the job that will be terminating my employment soon). And a phone call from my mother during work.
She moved to a town in the center of the power/water/fuel shortages/outages. She and my aunt drove north to Melbourne and are staying in a hotel. Today, she realized that a) It’s going to take a long time to restore infrastructure to her new home and b) She can’t keep spending money on a hotel and three meals a day.
Mom’s coming to Richmond this weekend, and staying until the power and water go back on in her neighborhood. We have no idea how long that will take.
So I’ll be conducting a job search, ending a temporary assignment while wishing all the time they’d hired me instead of whomever they hired, and dealing with a visit from Mom, who was just here for Rosh Hashana for a week.
Life is going to be very interesting for me in the next few weeks.
