i'd like to buy three dice of luck, please
Mar. 6th, 2007 03:50 pmokay, i need everyone to send their good vibes my way. i'm waiting to hear back about both a job and an apartment that i really want, and i'm just about beside myself with anticipation. i should know all by the end of this week. i've got a few other job leads i'm working, but i'm hoping i won't have to bother.
the job is doing doc for the software configuration tool for a single-chip voltage regulator/power thingy that seems to have some pretty amazing potential. everyone i talked to there was supercool and i happen to know i'm the personnel manager's #1 choice (shhh, i'm not supposed to know but the recruiter forwarded me her very enthusiastic email), but of course she's not the one who gets to make the final decision.
the apartment is on a quiet little side street that connects S. 1st and S. Congress, north of Ben White and south of Oltorf. it's a little scruffy but the complex has personality and is surrounded by big beautiful trees. the layout is workable (especially the kitchen/dining room, which has windows on both ends!), and the manager is very nice and laid back and has an awesome kitty named Sassy who just loooooooves attention. i pulled over on my way out and asked a pedestrian about the neighborhood, and she said she'd been living there for months and never had any problems. i'd be near major bus lines, and it's only 10 minutes from downtown. (easy commute to the potential job, too.) it's right on target for my budget, $495/month, and has the lowest pet deposit i've yet found in Austin, so the move-in costs wouldn't be too high. it comes open the first week of April.
there is some evidence that my luck is good this week -- i got approved for Lilly's patient assistance program and they're sending a 3-month supply of Cymbalta free of charge -- so if i can keep the streak going, my life will have 85% less suck by the end of the week. cross your fingers, send your vibes, give offerings to your deity of choice, and generally wish me luck, because i really, really want this to work out.
