Stop the world, I want to get off
Actually it's not as bad as all that but I couldn't think of anything wittier.
Once again a long absence from posting. This time it's 99% to blame on work as I have a huge deadline I'm in the midst of (Long story short. We usually budget sponsored research across the whole school but this year they asked me to do it across the departments instead. This increased the amount of work by a factor of 12. And no that's not an exaggeration. Also we're doing the new process in a brand new system that still has bugs in it. My life is fun right now)
However I'm seizing the moment to write because A) I love you all and B) I got to a point where I need to start digging into the budgets in more detail and I figured that milestone lets me take a tiny bit of a break, especially as I have to leave early for book club tonight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor)
So you get my babbling for a bit.
We still haven't found a roommate. There are two sort of on the hook right now (and one that's being flaky) but one would be decided on the basis of only a phone call as he's moving up from San Diego to work at Stanford. He is also a straight non-furry so I can see it being a bit fraught possibly.
The other my roommate may be meeting tonight in my absence. Given that he kind of liked the guy that horrified me by, while we were sitting at the dining room table discussing the room and complex, got up and started going through the kitchen cabinets, taking stuff out and commenting about the contents. I was fairly sure if we'd let him move in he'd have done the same thing with our bedrooms! So this meeting without me may not be the best idea but what can you do?
The flaky one we both liked but he's in limbo with not being sure if he'll land a job in SF or down our way. So it's fairly understandable why he might not want to commit to one or the other.
In other news...well, there really isn't any other news. I am fried. Very, very fried. I do have a short vacation for a trip to southern California with friends to do a puzzle hunt (my roommate designs them as a job/hobby and is tailoring this one to us) So that will be fun but it's right before my deadline is actually, you know, due, so that's a bit stressful too.
I stop being the answer to life, the universe and everything a week from tomorrow.
