Okay, okay, an actual post.
So.....
I'm still a temp at the same placement I've been in since coming home from Chicago. It's a job, and the employment scene's still looking pretty rough despite all the trumpeting you hear on the news about the recession being over. I'm content to let them lead me on with promises of FT work and benefits for the time being, as it does pay the bills.
Also still living at my aunt's house - but only for a few more days. I've found a nice little apartment in a totally fabulous location - at the north end of the Ave, right on University Way. I know that the location probably isn't for everybody, but I love the U District. Lots of food, stuff to do, excellent transit, et cetera. Plus I'm at the north end, right by the community center and the Safeway, which gives access to groceries and the Farmer's Market.
I'll have my own kitchen and my sewing machines back. Mom's paying for movers for all the goods that are still in storage. I have just some incidentals here; the furniture all belongs to my Aunt. We figure that it will take just one trip with mom's Scion to get everything from here to the new place, so I don't even need any help moving. It's good.
When the bosslady put the smackdown on us using the internet at all for anything even vaguely not work related, I pretty much stopped posting or using any sort of social networking tools. I will try to get back in the habit, folks.
