Getting in the right direction
Jan. 4th, 2006 10:53 pmFor a long time I thought I was failing upwards. Catering at its Best was screwing me out of hours, GateGourmet had been a distaster without even starting. And I'll be damned if The Mavrick is ever gonna give me a chance like Nancy said.
And to add insult to injury, Raven's landlord started pitching a bitch about me staying here. If it wasn't for Section 8 she could add me on to her lease and not have an issue, but because of that, it was out of the question. She's still planning on getting a house later down the road and has invited me to be a house mate, but I would need somewhere to be until then.
That's where I thought it was all gonna end. I thought "I graduated too soon", "I'm an idiot", "I'm not doing anything right".
But I spent hours online last night, until about four in the morning, browsing roommate sites, throwing emails out to people posted that met my rather strict criteria.
Only ONE emailed me back. He's in Beaverton, has another male roommate and isn't asking too terribly much. I'm meeting him tomorrow but he seems pretty cool and it looks like I have a place after all. I'm not going to go in right away since I want to get a little more money together. I know its WAY out of where I wanted to live, but since its only temporary I'm not going to make a huge deal of it.
So...if this works out, will things start going in the right direction? One can only hope with fingers crossed and prayers sent up to the higher powers that's the case...
