for laughing at your jokes
I can no longer see Russia from my house, because we have moved! Now I can see Brazil from my house, which isn't as fun. The house itself is so much better, though. I have a bedroom on the second floor, and it feels almost normal. There's an embarrassing amount of space, and after the last place, the options feel unlimited. I am hoping that this will be a place for me to put down roots here in San Francisco, or at least a place to stay for a good long while; the last place had a distinct transitional quality to it. Something about this place just feels more solid and permanent.
I am being interviewed for promotion (again) tomorrow. Even if they offer this job to me, I am not sure I want it, because I am pretty sure that the only schedules available are awful, but I don't know. We'll see. I am also working with a local friend of mine on maybe getting a job at a start up where I'd get to analyze data and crunch numbers all day. I would have potted plants on my desk. It would be awesome.
I have been sick for, uh, a really long time now. It got worse while I was moving, and as a result, I took the week off. I'm not going back until Saturday, and my workload in general is pretty light for the next two weeks. I am going to try and balance my work life and personal life a little bit better now, because I realize that I've been working a lot since December, and it is now May, and that is a long time. As much as I love overtime pay and a hefty savings account, I also like things like: talking to people who aren't mentally ill, relaxing at home, going out to parties, going on day trips, etc. I have not been doing much of any of that for the last long, long stretch of time, and it's gotten kind of sad.
The other day, I bought a book called Ratio, which I've wanted for about a year now. It was a worthy purchase. It is teaching me things, things like how to make shortbread and stock and popovers. It is also increasing my desire to own ramekins. I don't know where that lands on the Shame-O-Meter.
Once I deal with the whole "I'm living out of boxes and my mattress is on the floor" problem, I'm hoping to get back to taking advantage of the city.
Oh, and I dropped another size, as anyone who has talked to me recently probably knows. And it is awesome. With any luck, this trend will continue.
