not sure how i've managed to go nearly 3 weeks without updating. sigh.
we STILL haven't heard back from joshua's company about his transfer. frankly, i'm annoyed and pissed off about it; he's applying to manage a store within a company for which he has assistant managed for years. to sell video games. in a mall. this whole super intense security clearance bullshit is asinine. he's not applying to work for some secret government agency. he is not applying for clearance with nasa. just let him fucking sell games and boss people around a little. christ.
in the meantime, i declined the job offered to me by that other clinic. not only did it seem sketchy and not feel right, the logistics were bogus too. i'm not sure how we would have worked out a move in the short term, and while the company seemed to think that a 2 hour commute each way seemed feasible, i did not. if i turned them down and josh's transfer gets declined, i can't even express how upset i'll be, but i'm hoping and praying that we won't have to find out.
i'm on vacation right now. i took the week off, not because of any real plans, but because it was literally the only vacation time i could get all summer. after i booked it, josh's sister asked to come stay with us while she takes a real estate course in the city. having her here isn't exactly how i'd planned to spend my one free week this summer, but she's got classes, and has been keeping to herself mostly, so i can't really complain.
i have to take my car to the shop tomorrow for various reasons that i'm hoping are minor. i have every intention of going up to lindsay's family cottage thursday/friday so i'm really hoping that tomorrow's appointment isn't one of those "we think we know what the problem is, let us order parts and we'll have you come back in a few days". that will not be okay. as long as the car is safe to drive (which i'm sure it is) i will be going to the cottage... but considering that one of the things they need to look at is my recent shitty gas mileage, i'd really hope it can be fixed before i make a 700 km round trip.
i think i'm going to go eat about a hundred freezies now. gotta love vacay. |
