This Chapter is Ending Quickly
Less than a month until Rich leaves for Texas. As it is, tomorrow he is going back down there to apartment hunt for the rest of the week. Then he's going home this weekend, and then out with his friends the *following* weekend. After that, it's just a matter of days. . .
It's no big surprise that I've gained weight within the past few weeks; I think lately I've been a little more forgiving in what I will eat to avoid adding yet another stressful area to my life. Of course, now that I *know* I've blown up again, I've been taking some steps to get back down to where I "should" be. Nothing bad, really. Hell, I had a slice of cake when I went to the coffeeshop tonight, but I am trying to cut down on junk *somewhat.*
Away from ICA stuff though. My resume is still not quite done, but I started looking for a job again today. I was only looking on one site, but I decided to broaden the search to other areas of the country, just to see. Sure enough, I found a position available as a proofreader/editor of sorts for a horse magazine. . .in Phoenix, Arizona. :/ I would *love* to live in AZ (my kind of weather!), but how would I ever be able to apartment search or even know if I'd like the area without being able to go there first? If it were anywhere closer, I'd at least apply. Between this and the museum job I found in CA, why is it that all the jobs I'm interested in are on the OTHER side of the country?!
I stopped by work tonight on my way home from the coffeeshop. Heather was talking to Chris on her cell phone, but she put him on speakerphone so we could all chat. They've invited me out *again* Friday night and I really suppose I should go. Cuz once Rich is gone, my chances to go out with people are going to be far and few between. I think that's one reason why I'm not super eager to give up my job right now, though of course I know I have to. I get along with everyone, I know what I'm doing, I have quite a bit of seniority (and thus more leeway), etc. I know I was the "new person" there too at one time and I had to work my way up into the ranks, but it's been such a long time since that was the case that I'm not looking forward to being in that situation again. Well, anyway. . .I will probably force myself to go to rock'n'bowl on Friday night, though I completely suck at bowling. :p
Alright, time to go create my World of Warcraft character. Haven't decided if I want to be undead or an orc yet, hehe.

Nah, we're not travelling all the way to East Prov when there's that bowling alley right in Wakefield. I forget the name, but I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about.
Yes, as far as I'm concerned, Rich is leaving on way too short of a notice. It's too bad that we all won't get to hang out again. I do still want to see your condo though, but I'd probably wait til the spring so there won't be any weather related nastiness, hehe.
And there's nothing wrong with diet food, so anything you don't like, you can just ship down here. ;)
You going to old Mountain Lanes to bowl! I spent half of my youth in that place seeing that its about a 5 minute walk from my old high school lol.
Yeah, that's the one, hehe.
