evilhippo: hippo (88 [drama])

I suppose it's been a while since I posted properly. Unfortunately, I don't have much to talk about. Things have been pretty standard around here... though now (thankfully) I'm mostly over the semi-breakdown I had a few days ago. My job search is still largely barren, but I've finally got motivation enough to go restaurant-hopping tomorrow. I've got four on my list, and a map in my head. Hopefully this will result in something. (I just got a call from the bank I applied to... that's something. I shall call them back in a few minutes. Though I must say... what's with people having names I can't parse? It makes calling back so much more stressful than necessary.)

About the only eventful thing lately was going up to the observatory on Ryerson a few nights ago. It was surprisingly clear for a Chicago night, so we got a good look at the moon and Jupiter and a few random stars. I had trouble figuring out whether it was cooler we were using the same telescope Carl Sagan had used at one point, or that we were on top of a campus building at 2 in the morning when we probably weren't allowed to be (yay for friends with keys to buildings). I also couldn't help thinking how dorky it'd be to get arrested for trespassing when that trespassing was for the purpose of stargazing.

And so, that's pretty much my life. There's also an apartment that I need to call about, because it looks promising (free laundry!)... but I shall take things one at a time. Bank first.

P.S. Phone interview tomorrow morning at 11 for an actual publishing job. Frak. Time to work on sounding confident.

You go get those jobs, and show them whose boss, being all self-reliant. 8D

Right!

I've read their entire website. That should count for something, right?

Suppose I told them that... (-;

And now I'm writing out notes, because I can get away with having notes written down for those stupid "Why are you qualified?" and "Why do you want this job?" questions in a phone interview. Though they don't sound any better on paper. Which means there will be editing! tomorrow morning.

YOU'D PROBABLY GET THE JOB AUTOMATICALLY, RIGHT?

I can help, if you need any~ I'm really good at this social engineering thing, and interviews and stuff, I think that's why they made me a res hall director, honestly XD

Oh, that looks really good. Please call? Please. It is possible to get apartments spoken for a month or so in advance, you know. So... please? And I need to call you at some point soon, because there are several potentially complicating factors surrounding the weeks I need to be moving to Chicago (don't worry, it's all good. Just my end is getting more hectic). I have money for a security deposit share and all that. Talk to Lisa about this, too. And GOOD LUCK! You'll do fine with the job thing if you let yourself.

Yeah... I called earlier today, and it turns out utilities were included and everything, but the tenants pulled a surprise and actually it's going to be available August 1st, and the guy wanted to make sure it was occupied before September. Darnit. But, I have hope. Soon, I think, other things available in September will start popping up.

Dude, if we can get that one, that would be sweet. If we need it by August 1st, I could *probably* have the deposit by then if we need to rent it earlier or something.

Also, I dunno if I'll be moving my kitty with us. I kind of feel bad dragging her all the way from Texas to Chicago because she did that California to Texas move not too long ago. Unless I can find some way to move her without stressing her too badly, it might not happen. But I don't mind if you bring one of your kitties because OMGOMGOMG kitty. ♥'

...I miss the little fuzzballs running around my apartment.

Curse the tease apartments. I would've made him give it to us if it was actually going to be available in September. (He didn't mind cats, either.) I wish I had the extra cash to start rent on something earlier, but I'm barely making rent as it is. >.<

Yeah, that might be tough on her. My cats at home are mostly around three now, I think. And if I brought one of them, I'd have a heck of a hard time choosing. Because Mewoo is the one that's supposed to be mine, but he owns the yard and I feel bad taking him away from it. I might take bad cat (who's a crazy orangish dude), but he's, well, bad. And as much as I love him for it, that could be a disaster. And all of mine have serious fleas, since they're outside cats. We might be better off picking one out here. (-;

I also kind of want a reptile, but that can wait a long, long time. ^_^
