Good news, bad news

First the good: Andrea has an interview next week for an infographic design position at the San Jose Mercury News, a big step up from what she's doing now and a far better use of her talent. Also, a very popular designer (an American whose wife happens to be Brazilian), has expressed interest in her work, and might use her for conferences he organizes in Brazil.

The bad news: she found out that her department lost a big client and will therefore cut two people, putting her at No. 2 or No. 3 on the substitute list. This means she may work as little as a day a week. It'll probably be closer to two or three days, but in either case, she'll take a big cut from her already low pay.

Pray that she gets the Merc job. Or maybe this is God's way of forcing her to move here.

TV is your friend

Tonight's episode of Smallville was awesome. Clark finally learns that he's Superman (or at least Kal-El), special-effects abound, the tension between Clark and Lex Luthor grows, and the multilayered Christopher Reeve appearance even had musical allusions to the John Williams Superman theme. Excellent!

I think this was the episode everyone was waiting for. Too bad they'll show reruns for the next few months.
