What the-
Has it really been two full months since my last post? Wow have I been slacking! Well, not really… I’ve been working. I guess I tend to blog more when I’m dissatisfied at work… so I must be pretty happy!
It could be better, actually. The pay is more than $20,000 less than I was making at my last job. And who ever heard of a company recognizing only THREE paid holidays a year? But wait, that’s only IF those holidays fall on a weekday. Seriously. Why?
But anyway, nevermind that. What’s going on with my living situation? Since moving to San Diego, we’ve been staying with my sweetheart’s brother. We expected the stay to be about two months while we searched for a house. It’s been four, and her brother has been hinting that we are no longer welcome. He hasn’t said anything, of course, because he hates confrontation. But all the passive aggressive shit is not lost on us. Imagine him telling my sweety that she “should really pick up a little more around the house”. This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! She keeps that damn place spotless. She’s very particular about that. So she asked him point blank, “What exactly needs ‘picking up’? What am I missing?” He couldn’t give a direct answer. “Just… pick up a little more...” What a load of baloney. Having to vacuum every single day is not reasonable. I can’t wait to get outta there.
It’s finally looking like we will be out soon. We placed an offer on a condo in MAY and haven’t had anything happen on that until now. They finally accepted the offer and gave final written approval. Six freaking months later! OMG, if you’re ever wanting to get a house within two months, do NOT go for a short sale! It will take forever. But at least things are moving again and I can’t wait to get into a place of our own.
