Good things - found an amazing new apartment! Love, love, love it! Costs the same as my current place except I have to pay for my own heat and hot water....Not too bad....BUT - it's huge - ginormous even! Three bedrooms, living room, dining room, eat in kitchen, full BIG bathroom, lots of closets, basement storage, and...........................
other good stuff about it - garage parking.....not that I care about my car - but hey - it's kind of cool...and even betterer than all this good stuff - the owner's mum lives upstairs and she is cute and cape verdean and LOVES to cook and share....it's kind of like having a nana upstairs....so - wicked yay....Great location too, there's an awesome bakery in walking distance, the toy store that sells Hello Kitty stuff (so I can get new things for my new office), the chocolate shop, thai and mexican food, and a brazilian grocer (so I don't have to make trips across the city to get things when I'm cooking)....
The job situation - this is now starting to amuse me to no end....I am one of two finalists for the position - and it even has a grown up title - Academic Department Manager for Molecular Microbiology and Immunology.....and the other part that is still amusing me - it's a position at one of the top schools in the country....one that would never have accepted me as a student (not because of grades - but more general attitude...) and now they may want me to work for them....(and yup - I am being an egotist and bragging right now - but fuck - I've worked my ass off to get this position - so I am really really proud of myself...And the other part that is amazing me - I still don't have a degree in anything - but they want me!!!)
Things are still going pretty well with Joe the BSBT....He was sick last weekend and I have discovered something amazing about the male species that I was unaware of....For a certain percentage of the population - the sicker they get - the more they regress into wanting mum to take care of them....Blech! So I spent a weekend getting juice, making tea, vegetarian matzo ball soup, etc....While he sat on the couch and sniffled, coughed and whined his way to level 11 in Elder Scrolls IV....good thing he left - I am now level 8....I suck at video games in general but used to a be a wicked gamer geek girl...I have found out I am still a wicked gamer geek girl...So - rather than denial - I'm just going with it....Of course, after that entire little tangent I just typed - I forgot to mention that he gave both me and my small human whatever he had and I am so miserable....my nose is red and sore...My lungs hurt from coughing...and I feel like utter dirt....
So - things are moving along pretty well...
And boys frustrate me, because they are cute and wonderful and hard to resist. But I think I want to be single, for a very long time.
