Despite the fact that my ears are so plugged up today I can barely hear, it's a good day. Met with my pal E- last night, which got me out of the house and I treated myself to a peach Italian soda (yum!). He told me horror stories of his own six month bout of unemployment and gave me some good advice and kept my spirits up. Then I heard from my pal D- who's going to Shore Leave and asked if I wanted any autographs...this is the con both David and Kate Hewlett are appearing at, hell yes I'd like autographs! He's the wonderful guy who scored me a signed copy of Stephen Colbert's "I am America: And so Can You!". Hee.

Today I found a couple of apartments in the area that are right in my price range and in neighborhoods I quite like so I'm thinking of taking a look at one or two this weekend. Couldn't hurt, right?

Then a few minutes ago I heard back from the gaming/anime site I just applied to a few days ago...they want a phone interview! I did a quick happy dance on the couch, then went back and re-read the position listing, oh yes I'm a damn good fit for this job. It's a start up and in San Mateo but that works for me and I can so do this job. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

And I just heard my former minion finally got the job at EA she's been interviewing for since February! I'm going to see her on Saturday for lunch with a bunch of our former co-workers so I'll get all the details then and congratulate her in person. I'll be fascinated to her what the culture over there is like. She's going to do great, I've no doubt about that.

Now if Yahoo Mail will stop acting quite so retarded today will be all but perfect.

Lucky you! D- is damned good at getting ahold of absolutely anything you could possibly dream up, isn't he? I've always been in awe of his ability to locate the out of print, first edition, limited run copy of stuff - with signatures, of course! Sounds like Shore Leave's going to be incredible and he's going to have a blast! Reminds me of back in the day, when there were cons in Syracuse :)

I'm so very encouraged by the positive stuff going on - a phone interview, a former co-worker's good news, affordable apartments in good neighborhoods ... all good stuff! Still sending you good-luck vibes!

Woo! Best of luck with that phone interview --- that sounds like a great fit! Maybe the universe just wanted you to be patient so it could drop something perfect in your lap. Keeping my fingers crossed.
