Back into the frying pan
I thought I had managed to escape veterinary medicine and move my life in a different direction, but it appears I'm probably going back to Society Hill. Actually, it has been my favorite job, hands down, but I still feel like I'm crawling back with my tail between my legs a little. I'm really hoping they have some lovely office - y thing for me to do like Doctor's Assistant or charge audits, even receptionist would be fine. However, I have resolved that if it's a tech job I should probably take it anyway. This economy is really scary and I have a feeling it is just going to get worse for at least another year or so. Not a great time to be unemployed or underemployed. I need money for a deposit on a new place, too. So I've decided to just be grateful for the opportunity existing instead of being upset over what will essentially be 2 months of wasted emotional torment and extreme poverty.
Since I'm on the topic of concessions due to economic climate, I may have to move out of the neighborhood. I was talking with Iain last night, and South Philly is seeming like more of a possibility. The rents are going up like crazy in University City and I have two much shit to fit into a one bedroom apartment again. Gentrification kinda blows for all of us blue collar kids. I like the environment here and the people so much, but I think finding an affordable decently sized place is going to be really hard. Plus, if I end up working on the other side of town again, it is a much longer commute. Makes me sad, but I may just have to deal with that.
