For a Pessimist, I am Pretty Optimistic

The other day I wrote a post talking about how frustrated I was while waiting to hear news in regards to three things. Thank you to those who left me supportive comments; it really helped to brighten up my mood and possibly spread some good karma in the air! Here’s a quick update:

1.       The Apartment - We heard back from the landlord about that apartment we were interested in and were told we could move in on August 1st (we were called July 31st). Suffice it to say, the hubby and I spent the past two days wide awake desperately trying to move everything. We’re still not done, but all that’s really left is the food from the fridge.

Unfortunately, we have to wait until our appointment on Tuesday to get a cable and Internet connection. After roughing it (yes I’ll admit it, I’m lost without the ability to go on the web) for the past day, I finally trekked over to a somewhat nearby Starbucks where none of the employees knew how to connect to the Internet. I guess people who go to Starbucks are such regulars that no one ever asks that question? Or they’re just stupid, ha-ha. Either way, I won’t be online, so my apologies (especially those on Entrecard) if I can’t stop your page until Monday.

2.       The Job – I finally was called about the job and told to come in on Monday. I’ll be working there for a week confirmed, but there’s still no idea if the girl I’m replacing will be staying for longer, even though it’s assumed she will. I’m still trying to remain positive, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make this into a permanent job so I’m trying to just cheer myself up with the fact that I’ll receive a paycheck for a short while. On another note, I should start to look for a permanent job, but how can I interview when I’m working somewhere? (Sheesh – when I started to write this the plan was to be happy I got the job in any capacity, but thinking if over, now I’m worried).

3.       The Award– I managed to win Most Popular on Today.com for the month of July! Woo-hoo, now I’ve been Most Popular for 2 months in a row! I think though that this month was a fluke since it was such a huge increase since last month.

Thank you EVERYONE(an extra thank you to those at Today.com, Entrecard, Reddit, StumbleUpon, etc.) for helping me to achieve this. I know it may seem silly for me to get so excited about it, but I can’t help it! As it is, I feel so proud when I look at the side columns and see the little badge the Admins at today.com gave me for last month.
