living

still around... just really don't have anything new to add to this space. work situation is still unresolved, however it's getting stupider by the moment. i'm told i'm the best candidate but that they're offering the position to a person who's been at the company for eons to show loyalty. yey. i think 99.99% of companies out there don't have any sort of demonstrable loyalty to their slaves, er employees. i somehow have managed to find the 00.01% of companies that actually seems to have some sort of bizarre loyalty to their long-time suffering staff.

that's all fine and well - but still leaves me without. there is still a chance that the person won't accept the job. she's thinking about it. she's also been offered a carrot for later this summer and an even bigger carrot this autumn - but only if she stays in here current role.

i know. it's fucked.

and i still am ready to book that flight to palm springs. it will cost my parents more to shell out to see me - but they are telling me that they still want me to come if i don't get the job. i fear that they should be preparing for a sad little muffin appearing at their poolside.

the bit of good news is that today a landlord accepted me and my roomie's application. as of march 15th i have a nice place to move into. i just hope that i can pay for it. *gulp*

we're going to see it again on saturday (and to hand over some cheques) and i should have better pictures then. until saturday, here's a sneak preview of my new place.

it's in the 2nd & 3rd floor of this house. much better than a mainfloor.

the view of the dining room from the kitchen. the room in the distance is the living room

this is the lovely living room. or, rather, it's half of it. the room is very very large. yey.

ok. that's it. i'll try to muster more cheer next time. i'm hoping it won't need to be false cheer & that i will be able to write here about my wonderful new job.
