Update: Life is good

danaerisTwo more days of work before I'm on vacation. And the last four days have been utterly fabulous and wonderful, with only a few downers to give the highs more shine. ;)
Tomorrow or Wednesday I hope to find time to write up a blow-by-blow account, because there are some funny stories in my weekend. But for now, the concise update, by life sector.
Job and freelance
Still no word from either job. I've mostly accepted that I got neither and moved on with my life. I'll be VERY surprised to get a job offer from either.
My day job still bores me and I still have issues with my supervisor, but it is a good enough situation that I'm happy to stick around until something Ideal comes along. So, I'll keep my ear to the ground in terms of job ops, but only for really good ones.
Freelancing: Both of the two major magazines I wrote for recently have gotten back to me and apparently are only just now getting around to the final edits. I suppose as long as I get paid and I get my byline eventually, I'm happy... Also, the Star finally paid me. w00t.

omshu found a place in a friend's basement and decided to go for it, which leaves femmefatalist and me to our own devices. It's probably for the best...
I'm thinking I need to make a list of buildings I have friends living in, and find out if any of them are in our price range and also have free bedrooms anytime soon. I should call the Dufferin building again and see if they have any Feb. 1 openings, and also see howfemmefatalist feels about the Crossways.
Social and love life
Both of these are going remarkably well. I have friends who I feel I can count on and who seem to think I rock -- and the feeling is mutual. And, I do believe that I have a boyfriend, for some definition of the word.
Volunteer work
Eep. I'm trying really hard to not take too much on. P is handling the search for a new venue for the social... we found out tonight that the venue is closing this location and moving to a location that is no good for us on Jan. 15, which gives us four weeks to find a replacement.
I'm also coordinating the science track for 9ICB like before, and laising between Gaylaxicon and 9ICB. I emailed someone yesterday about the latter... the discount system I was told would be used is broken, and I proposed an alternative I think would work better.
On top of that, I'm apparently being asked to do something with adult programming for Ad Astra. Given the late date, I'll probably just make a poly mixer and a kink mixer, and leave it at that. Hmm, idea: a discussion group where people bring in their favourite SF or fantasy sex scenes and do readings! The trick is that these are, all three, programming events that run themselves to some extent. Less work for me == good.
So, yeah. There are a million sources of dissatisfaction in my life, but right now the only main one, in all honesty, is housing. I think we're really close to a resolution on it, though. *crosses fingers* A Jan. 1 move could still potentially happen, though. So, who knows.
