AWESOME!

Was able to talk with the Dept. Head (a gentleman that is so above and beyond my previous adviser that comparing him to her is a little like comparing a beautiful bay Arabian to blue-green pond scum). The $15/hr job I have now? Will continue as long as I want it to during the school year. Hours worked and when they are worked are totally up to me. If it ends (and/or the grant runs out) he basically told me I will be handed any other work that comes along and not to worry, because more work will come along since at this point they are turning away projects because they don't have enough people to do them. Hell, if I want to take on additional projects (and money) during the school year, as long as I manage my time, he will make it happen.

This is in addition to my monthly stipend that comes with my fellowship.

WINZ!

Fic: Ransom, Part 1a, original, PG-13

I have received confirmation that my snail_mail_porn partner has received my package. SCORE! My package has been slightly delayed for a very good reason (involving a hospital o_O). So I wait eagerly for my own package.

Despite my best efforts (involving screaming at the screen "MAKE WITH THE PORN ALREADY") this never got above a PG-13. There's always the sequel, which has already been started. So here it is, in all it's 28 page, 11,769 word glory.

EDIT: ENTRY TOO LONG? Damn. I'm going to have to divide it into two parts. ^^;

Picking right up where we left off last post.
