i'm home!
April 13, 2002 - 9:57 pm

the first thing i did was to turn on my computer and use it to check what day it is. i'm so confused. i'm very glad it's saturday. i'm soon to bed.

i went to edinboro and back, sorry e...but i didn't think of visting until it was too late to ask.

let's review my current status on several key topics:

job status: offical notice of two weeks given to current employer. new start date in edinboro the 29th.

moving time: two more weekends to get my ass relocated or it's going to be a long, long commute.

new residence: liked two places. one is a two bedroom right in town. downside, would need roommate and it costs more. the other is a one bedroom about 10 miles south of town. downside, shitty small town it's in..would need to drive like 15 minutes to get anything and it's old.

time to decide on the above: by monday at the latest.

public disclosure of my status: my current office found out friday while i was out that i'm leaving. not looking forward to work on monday and having the same repeative conversations both in person and on the phone. not looking forward to telling current accounts i'm leaving and trying to assure them that my replacement will be good.

body's response to trip: my back, surprisingly, doesn't hurt at all. my throat is sore. i am allegic to pets who shed alot. i spent the night in a house with a cat in the process of losing it's winter coat. my eyes are sore. possibly from the cat or perhaps i somehow got acid into them.

opinion of decsion making skills: too whimsical and seemingly impulse driven

opinion of new job: changes with the moment.

opinion of old job: i hate it, but see above. i'm unsure if i've gone from the frying pan to the fire.

opinion of parents: much higher than normal. they are actually being alot more supportive than i thought they would. i guess parents do love kids and love blinds....

things i need to do:

tell current landlord i'm leaving. must play up angle that i'm out of job in stamford and can't pay more than one months rent.

find boxes.

sort out how i will physically move.

fill boxes.

make actual moving arrangements.

turn on utilities at new place, turn off at old.

update email notices to a generic hotmail address.

come to terms that i'm not going to have cable modem access, which is probably a good thing.

pros to new job: it's not my old job. it's very...family/friendly/team oriented. it's very relaxed and casual, or so it seems. it's in a small town, small towns are better for living. cities are good for visting. the office is like 85% female (or is that a con? *smiles*)

cons to new job: the pay. i have to move. it's a small town, but it's in a depressed type area. i won't know if i like it until i do it.

hrm, pretty shitty con's huh? i really couldn't come up with a massive con. perhaps i'm not as whimsical and impulsive as i think i am.

ok. i'm tired. it's name time.
