Today I discover my fate for the next few months. See my contract expires around the end of the year. And I have requested to know if I'm going to be around thereabouts for any longer than that. See our lease expires at the end of January- and we have to move. Unless the government screws up and keeps our landlady over there for a longer stay. I certainly hope not- because as much as I long to keep her cat with us forever, I do want her to come home. She's earned it.
And the fate of the job determines in part the location of the new home. West Seattle is the most wonderful place I have found in the area. But it's a beeitch to get to Redmond. Took me 2 fucking hours the other night to get home. That's 17 miles, peeps. And that shit ain't fun. Not to mention that I was hungry as hell, and now am carrying provisions in the car. Because Kbot doesn't need to have me arriving at home in a "state". That is not pretty.
And the fate of the job determines the holiday plans. If no job, no go to MT for Christmas. The trip gets postponed for a week or two. Which is really no great hardship, but there will certainly be less spent on presents for all and sundry as well. Which I know doesn't matter to them, but it does matter to me. Because. Well- it's that Christmas thing. Everyone wants it to be perfect and all. I guess.
So I'll hear today. And then ...we'll see...

Congrats! And, Hi Back. If they hadn't have renewed it, I'd have driven over and given them a talking to, I swear! Talk to you soon!
good luck?
i suppose?
i know all about 2 hr./17 mile commutes.
only mine, in D.C. was 2 hrs. for 12 miles.
each way.
aha.
provisions in the car...
brilliant concept.
you know what mine were.
of course you do.
greetings from Charleston, S.C.
p.s. Ah, sweet couchkitten, All I want for Christmas is you, dear. Nothing else, but you. (insert creepy smile here)
I do know what your provisions were. And can make a good guess as to the proof. HOwever, I am a lightweight, and would put my car in the lake if I tried to do the feats you have done, El. I'll stick to the Powerbars.
And thank you Achick- It is Kbot's Christmas, but grandma trumps it- so all up in the air so far, alas.
