So. My house-mate hunt is not getting resolved anything like fast enough, and now I am stuck paying almost twice as much rent for the month as I usually pay. This sucks. I was so looking forward to a January that was not beset by poverty and cash flow problems. I have a couple of possible people though, so hopefully something will work out soon and I can get this all settled before the month ends.
What I really want is for my employer to actually hire me so I can find a cute little place in Mountain View, close to work. I have no idea what the chances of that actually happening are though. What with law school stuff and the scary hiring process here I have no idea what my chances of making it through the real interviews are. After my last experience with a contract-to-hire job (which last 3 years, on 3 month contracts) I have very little faith in these things. It turns out my director had no idea about any of this though, and when I mentioned something about it yesterday he got all worried looking and said he would look into it and see what the plan is. So that's something.
In fiber related news, I turned the heel on my first commute sock this morning! I'm doing a simple ribbed lace pattern on the sock to keep things interesting and it's just flying along. Pretty much the whole foot got done yesterday, and I was able to do the last few rows of the foot, a short-row heel, and start on the leg part this morning. I'll have cozy new socks sometime next week at this rate! Tomorrow I have to really buckle down and start getting some sewing done. Tonight I'm having dinner after work with a bunch of friends, so I won't get anything done (aside from maybe some sock knitting) today. If I can at least get a bodice muslin done tomorrow I'll be in pretty good shape.
