i was supposed to know about the job last monday. then last wednesday, thursday at the latest. then by the end of friday. then today. now they swear they really really mean it, i'll know by noon tomorrow. i'm assured that they're "pretty sure" they're going to hire me, that they want to hire two people and i'm one of the two top candidates, and they're hoping to hire us both. which i take to mean that if they can't, i won't be the one. but either way, i'll know by noon tomorrow. no, really, they mean it this time! or so they say.

in much better news, i spoke to the manager over at the apartment i want so much, and he says as far as he's concerned it's mine, he'll hold it for me until the current tenant moves out at the end of the month, and i can sign a lease as soon as i can provide proof of income. (and it's a cheap apartment; if i don't get the contract thing, any old temp assignment will do.) so basically, i have the apartment, because there's no way i can't at least get a job at Starbuck's or whatever by the end of the month.

i get the apartment! the apartment is mine! mineminemineminemine! i calculate these developments to be 47% less suck overall. if i get the contract, of course, we'll be up to 83% less suck, leaving only the trivial matters of acquiring furniture and SNTF.

Indeed. Good work! Get a good cheap apartment you can afford if you get stuck slinging coffee at StarBucks. (Although, if you are going to work there, make sure the part where you shove the steam wand up some snob's nose is on the GOOD security camera.)

Then you can feel relatively stable while you get that great job. Once you have the apartment and the job, the rest is not so important. At least to the cats.

It doth rock.

The apartment gives you home base, and it sounds liek it will be a secure one. Fingers remain crossed on the job of course.
