it’s here. niiiice. 11″ memory foam mattress with another 1.5″ down topper. no sheet in the house will fit it. hah. i’m going to have to buy deeper pocketed sheets.
still. happy. though i begin to see that i’m going to have to move after all. just not enough room in this room to have a bed and the desk. cramped is an understatement. but it’s a bit off yet as i need to save up and be prepared rather than skating on the edge doing it.
so. for now… living condensed. heh.
let’s see, what else to say? work is good. still waiting on the offer. turns out they’re fighting over the cost conversion. i can’t say that’s a suprise. the company wants more than 50% off and the recruiter, obviously, doesn’t want to give up more than half. who knows where that goes. i sure don’t.
problem is, they close for two weeks from the 24th of december until january 2nd and if i’m still on contract, that’s two weeks i’m not getting paid for…. and while i understand they want to save themselves money, i don’t intend for it to be, literally, at my expense.
so… if i don’t have an offer in hand by december 5th, i’m going to have to talk to them and explain things. which is going to be interesting, to say the least. i suppose we’ll see how it goes.
as for life otherwise, pretty calm. i’m reading the runelord series by david farland and it’s pretty interesting going. not gaming so much other than random magic games at work (joined an internal league. fun times. they guys are somewhat bemused by a woman (let alone a 40+ woman) kicking fanny like i do. heh.).
there is other news on the ‘daughter’ front, but i don’t feel like i can talk about it just yet. i’m still trying to decide how i really feel other than surprised and, of course, concerned for my girl’s happiness. i think that may well be the extent of it. but it’s hard to say just yet as it’s all still sinking in. meh. sorry, i really can’t go into detail. just some life lessons she’s learning and i’m doing what i can to demonstrate that i’m ‘here’ and i love her no matter what.
that’s it for now. more later.
