Hi all.  

I am sorry to announce to the ML and my wonderful pre-readers that, as
of this morning, I was just layed off from work.  It was a complete
surprise, but apparently they are feeling overstaffed, and I lack
seniority.  They gave me a nice severance check and they hated to see me
go, blah blah blah.  I just love office politics.  I just finished
packing, and as soon as I send this off, I'm out the door.

Anyway, this means I no longer have daily access to either my email or
the internet.  It also means that Part 18 of Hearts of Ice will be even
more delayed than usual.  :(

My email address will not change, and I am not unsubbing from the ML. 
Also, for those authors I preread for, please continue to send me your
stories.  I'll get to them by hook or by crook, somehow, but if there is
a delay, you'll know why.

Anyway, I'm off to visit Unemployment and Job Service.  Oh joy.  Wish me
luck.  Hey, at the very least, this means I have a ton more time to work
on my fanfic.  ^_^

Ja ne,

Krista
