Busy Busy Busy

This week I have been very busy. I have gone to two interviews for part-time jobs to supplement my income during my internship(s). Both interviews went quite well, and I was called back to second interviews for both of them, but I don't want to go into a lot of detail and get my hopes up for jobs I might not get.

My last week at work has been a blur of leaving work to go to job interviews, backing up all my files, going to an exit interview and a going-away luncheon, and other things, like waiting for 20 minutes at an ATM machine when my workplace didn't bother to direct deposit my final check. (Damn you Citibank at 4th and Ave. A!!!)

It's also time for me to start thinking about moving. I'll be moving in with N., as many of you already know. I hate moving so very, very much. For some reason, N. really likes the whole moving process, so he's somehow volunteered to pack all my stuff. Which, although generous, is completely crazy.

I'll be moving the weekend of the 25th, if anyone wants to volunteer to help. I have only very tiny furniture and not a whole lot of stuff, since the loft bed isn't coming with me and the couch only needs to go to the curb. I was going to hire those Chinese movers, but N.'s apartment charges a move-in fee that is actually more than the cost of the moving service!! We'll be moving stuff on the sly ahead of time to avoid the fees.

Mostly, I'm really, really glad to be leaving my job. I would call for heavy drinking on such an occasion, but my weight loss has slowed down to the point where I really don't have that kind of leeway anymore.

In a bit of randomness: To save money on Metrocards I've been walking from 1st to 6th Ave. every day to and from work. In the past couple weeks I've walked past a bus picking up little kids for some kind of day camp. It's really cute, because the parents are all waiting by the bus, seeing the kids leave. The first day the parents were all worried-looking. They are pretty small kids, and it is extra cute.

P.S.

Woo hoo! Awesome about the job interviews and I'm so happy you no longer have to work for evil ISO, yay!

Is Noah's apt. going to charge you for moving in if you have furniture or just in general 'cause they're dicks?

They need the money, mostly. They've all but run out of operating funds. We're pretty clever, though, and we may be able to out-fox them yet.

what if they raise your rent? how will you outfox them then?

Since N. hasn't bothered to respond... look, if rent goes up, it'll only be by like, $20 per person.

and instead, they have outfoxed you.

I'm not sure I understand the contention here. Assuming I don't have to pay the $150 moving fee, I will have outfoxed them. That's what I'm referring to.
