Damn it.

My realtor has finally come up with a house in Polish Hill for me, and it's the worst possible timing. Well, maybe not the worst timing, but I've got no job, almost no savings, I just signed a new one-year lease on my current (New York) apartment, and I've just signed up for another round of classes at UCB as well ( Read more... )

Losing my job as I am in the final weeks before losing my home is some of the worst timing ever ( Read more... )
