Rob – do you fit this description? A friend from high school posted this on linkedin:
i’m looking to hire a great product manager for art gallery software. know anyone?
dona, I’m interested in the sound devices, but do those things bother pets? both my tenants have cats and I hope to get a dog after the reno is done.
Lamb, I have mice. I have to really fix it by mortaring up some places in the basement, but I also got a sound thing – Riddex – and that seems to make them disappear.
True, what DeLepp says. November it RAINS.
Jessi, soon hopefully. I met someone last night who is an academic who has been to Cuba 14 times and he is really plugged in to how I can do it legally. He has a pension place I can stay (away from the big hotels) and lots of information, connections. I know another woman who is a museum director and is over there all the time, so will talk to her too. Eventually, I will have to really start seriously looking for a job (like really soon), and my reward when I am settled will be to go to Cuba.
jessi, you want to spend at least 5 days in rome. As dona said it’s a walking city and there are gems of beauty in unexpected places. Soon would be perfect b4 all college kids are there, though December is really pleasant.
Thanks, DonaT. When you going to Cuba, btw?
DH, I hope to god you’re wrong… it’s only 2 blocks away. unless you mean it will be armageddon day for rats. I’d be down with that.
dona, I’m just throwing everything I can at them right now… poison, spring traps, glue traps. even if these things don’t last too long I’ll be happy if they save me from playing executioner again. I had a traumatic glue trap catch last week…
despite having spent lots of time in the UK prior to dating my gf, I really hadn’t grasped how deep the class/accent rifts run until we got together. I used to have a neighbor in my old condo bldg who was a british ex-pat. he’s a prominent finance blogger and he & his american wife threw great dinner parties with charming, bright, funny people (+tons of booze). I thought she would like meeting some other expats, but she was immediately ill at ease bc of their posh accents. whether or not they were judging hers, she still carries that class baggage here.
ooooh, Jessi. I LOVE Rome. Wow. Get Fellini’s movie, Roma, Three coins in a fountain, La Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday, there’s got to be tons more. Rome is beautiful and at the right time of year –NOW — it is unbelievable. You can walk for miles and miles, Rome is a walking city and see everything from the Forum and Colliseum (hated that though) to art museums and the Vatican is amazing – i.e. St. Peters, Sistine Chapel, the libraries filled with paintings. Everywhere there are fountains, layers of history, statues, you can walk into an ordinary church and right there is a Caravaggio painting, hanging there without airconditioning, security nothing. One of the most knock your socks off places was the Pantheon. So cool.
