We still have apartments to see but unless there’s something mind blowing in Monday’s batch, I think we found our place! Now I’m getting ahead of myself and looking at gym memberships (they’re so cheap here) and fantasizing about a now very possible life where I spend half of my mornings writing and half going to the gym

tfw you hated a prof in college and you go to see your wife graduate from a different college and that prof is there and sits right next to your wife’s family
I have a job, orientation scheduled, several apartment viewings this weekend, and have given official notice to Barnes and Noble that I’m leaving.
THINGS ARE HAPPENING SO FAST
I am getting super ahead of myself, I haven’t accepted the job yet (I can’t until tomorrow morning, and I’m going to do so as early as I can), BUT I’M OUT OF MY MIND EXCITED FOR EVERYTHING AND ALSO TERRIFIED.
We’ve found one really good listing for apartments (and several okay ones) and I’m just DREAMING about this apartment:
IT;S TECHNICALLY A STUDIO SO IT’S BEAUTIFULLY CHEAP BUT IT HAS A SEPARATED BEDROOM AREA (I’d want to buy screens to section it off even more than what I’m assuming is a retractable wall, but still).
We’d be paying less than two thirds of what we pay to stay with my mother-in-law, which frees up a lot of money for a car/insurance/gas. I’m thinking of looking into buying a pickup for sheer practicality, then we could use it to move. (We don’t have much furniture, so we don’t need a big moving van AND the pickup would be good for getting furniture pieces).
I’m like, stressed out of my mind and also trying to ignore the looming fact of how many people I’m leaving behind but It’s such an exciting future, AND I’VE GOT LESS THAN A MONTH TO GET DETAILS IRONED OUT AHAHAHAHA. It’s very likely we’ll get a lease for the first and I start work on the second and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
holy shit i just got a job offer
A company sent me a link to set up an interview and this is the only time available. From the bottom of my heart, what the fuck.
Me: let’s get sloshed
My wife: that sounds Jewish
I’ve been married six months?
My Skype interview ended up being a phone interview because the person I was supposed to Skype with hadn’t gotten to the office yet today, I’m more than a little salty
I have a skype interview tomorrow and I had to do a brief test series for it that I thought was just data entry but it actually also included a “customer service mindset” test and that makes me want the job SO MUCH LESS
ALSO the test phrased things like “Customers will try and take advantage of you” and “if a situation is uncomfortable will you try to get rid of the customer quickly?” to make it sound like you’re paranoid/bad with people if you answer a certain way, but customers DO try and take advantage of situations, they try and bend or break rules if you can’t give them what they want, and like, please don’t ask me to stick around for customers that are touchy or are asking if I’m a boy or start spouting bigotry, I know that’s what you mean and that is honestly like. a huge evil of this capitalist society.
