Update a la six-o-clock news:
Job offer from the bank came in the mail today. Some part of me still refuses to process this and thinks that things will fall through at the last minute...but I'm starting to get my hopes up, which I usually make a point of not doing. Can't wait until things are finalized; I don't know how much longer I can hold off on whooping and doing my happy dance.
I'll have to quit at the bakery, which is good news but also frustrating. It's a dead end job, which I've had quite enough of, thankyouverymuch...but it might just be the best dead end job I've ever had. Every day I work there, they tell me how grateful they are to have me. I love the co-workers and think they may be turning into REAL friends.
Speaking of co-workers-turned-real-friends...I got ahold of the roommate-she didn't make it to BC, she left the message a couple of days ago and it was just a classic case of 'drink & dial'. Whew! Rent money is secured and the Klein Dynasty blood money arrived in the mail today. It's enough to tide me over until payday (Friday) at which point I should have mad cash to spare.
Met a dazzlingly handsome 30-ish black Frenchman in a suit-and successfully picked him up (succeeded with flying colours, in fact) in front of a lineup of 20 customers at work. Too bad he was a total penis when he called me.
Have been making an effort to spend more time with existing friends, with much better results. I know so many amazing people and the more I get to know them, the more amazing they are. Lucky me.
Skiing on the weekend was wicked fun. The other day, I started thinking about what I was going to do in the summer to counter the inevitable ski-withdrawl and decided to buy rollerblades. My other goal for this summer is to get out on a bike more often, and to understand how bikes work and how to fix them. I think my mind has been taken over by sporty space aliens.
Spent last night with my roommate and the world's largest glass of gin & ginger, watching American Beauty. In retrospect, it really wasn't the kind of movie that I wanted to see right then, but somehow I was left with a profound sense of clarity and calm, as well as the knowledge of exactly how to solve some of the problems I'd been turning around and around in my brain.
That's pretty much the state of things. There's more, but I have work to catch up on today. After my all-out-panic post last night, I thought I should check in and make it clear that, no, the sky is not falling-although it really seemed like it for a brief couple of hours.

And yes. We must get together. Any evening after wednesday, or anytime on the weekend is peachy for me. We still have to do that book exchange. Call me when you get a second.
Oh, and what size are your feet again? I have a pair of rollerblades that I've only used a few times, they're practically brand new. I'm willing to take interesting trades!
