My Birthday Week!

Being in summer, I view my birthday as a halfway point. And let me tell you, I took quite a beating the first half of '07. Nothing disastrous, but personal and financial matters. But if my birthday week is any future indicator, I'm looking forward to my better half of 2007!

*I get an email stating I've been made Yelp Elite. For all you non-Yelpers, I'll explain. Like being made part of the cool kids club, or making partner at your law firm.

*My review of Zeitgeist gets Yelp "Review of the Day"! You're basically queen for a day, get lots of cheers from fellow Yelpers, etc.

*After an awesome, albeit grueling daylong interview with Gilead Sciences, they offer me the position of Scientific Communications Manager. Oh, and because I seemed to have pulled the wool over my eyes, they offer me $15,000 more than I ask for!

*Lovely dinners with friends, old and new. Nice group dinner with the girls. J took me out to dinner to celebrate my bday, job, and watching Kali. It means the world to me that he's speaking to me again.

Looking forward to the new gig. May go to LA for a few days to see old friends. Have been out a few times with T, so far, so good. Feeling very, very lucky.

RIP to a Good Man

Today marks the 14th anniversary of my father's passing. We lost him suddenly, too young, without warning. A brilliant, sensitive, "nice guy." Yes, we had our disagreements and didn't see eye to eye, but I could tell we were created from the same cloth. I miss him.
