Employment is good.
While I'm not yet employed, there are very, very strong possibilities that I might start working for Mongoose Publishing. I just received the email that says I'm on the final candidate list, and they only need some extra legalities stuff to deal with in order to make a final decision.
I'm so getting this job :)
I also received my first paycheck from White Wolf; while it's not the big one I expect for Trinity: Terra Verde, it was a nice surprise to receive it in the mail. It's for a short story to be published by the ends of January in Scarred Lands Anthology. With this paycheck, my career in the RPG industry has officialy begun, and it will get better once I can call myself a Game Developer ^_^.
ARGHH! On other aspects of my life, I'd be biting my nails if I hadn't clipped them this week, and I'd be counting the hours if I knew what time there was left for Nicci to come home... I miss her, I want to share with her these successes, I want to talk to her, make sure she's really there... she'll be home sometime next week... hopefully she'll be home to get the Christmas present I got her from Amazon.de (it's quite a different experience, buying from an Amazon site in which I need a dictionary to understand what I'm clicking on :) ).
It looked like this Christmas would be the worse of my life, but it looks like it's getting a whole lot better at the last possible minute ^_^

I have several reasons to be happy right now. Actually, two, but "several" sounds nice :)
1) Nicci is alive!
I found out half a day ago, but I've been too busy being happy, and helping my mom get the groceries, to write just how happy I am. I was chatting with Jessi when she received a phone call... now, the two sisters' method of ICQing consist of warning whenever they leave the PC for whatever, so Jessi said the phone was ringing.
I had the wishful thinking that it was from the military, telling her that Nicci had been found and lo and behold! It was!!!
Again, there is no further info except that she is in a military hospital somewhere, but that she will be back home by next week. I know she won't be allowed to tell anyone about her experiences, so I won't ask her, besides the point that the memories are probably Not Good.
She's back... I'll have her back.... ^_____^
Now... reason number 2:
Last night I was among the fortunate few in all the world to watch Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I snagged some passes from my old employer and, even if it was cold (the projection was out in the open, on top of a small mount in Six Flags Mexico), the seats were uncomfortable and there were too many people, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Items in the "I went to the LotR premiere and all I got was..."
a) A cushion: Because the auditorium's seat were cold and hard, the organizers gave us this ^_^.
b) Invitation: Which was quite cool and we got to keep it: the passes were inside ^_^. cover | inside 1 | inside 2
Now, I only have to receive my paycheck from White Wolf for Trinity: Terra Verde (I'll link to it directly once it's in their catalog) to be completely happy. Oh, and if I get the job at Mongoose Publishing, my life will be close to perfect. ^_^
