Forms and Sofas
My first day back went smoothly, just filling out health care forms, retirement forms ect. Tomorrow I go to my regular office, which I'm told is easy to find and get to. Apparently for some strange reason the Fenland Field office will be closed on Saturday, so I'll have to wait until Tuesday when...

Getting involved and Getting a Nibble
Got Mom's check and got the security deposit paid. I'm glad Mom was willing to lend me the money for the security deposit, otherwise I might not have been able to move for a couple of months. The regular lady I've been dealing with was off today and the lady filling in didn't know whether or not I...

Craigslist and the top 100
Finally going to see Lisa this evening after not seeing her for two weeks. Gotta go to her parents house in Silver Spring, but it will be worth the trip. Saw an article in the Washington Post about craigslist and that gave me the idea to advertise my sleepsofa there. That should get me a response....

Of Mail and Sleepsofas
So it looks like I'll be moving on Tuesday the 2nd. I had forgotten that I have that day off. The state of Md. gives us election day off, to give us time to vote, I presume. I don't suppose Susan will mind one extra day, maybe she'll insist on one day's rent for November. Probably not, she doesn't...

Minor Snag
Minor snag in the moving process. Turns out goodwill won't pick up my sleep sofa and the Salvation Army can't pick it up until it's too late to do me any good. So I got the bright idea to just give it away to anyone who'll take it. Put a couple of notices up on bulletin boards and emailed all my...

Almost a done deal
It's almost a done deal. I have an apartment and an address. Just waiting for my job verification and criminal background check, which may be done by now. Thanks to Mom's willingness to lend me the money for the security deposit, I can move a month earlier than planned. A bit of a rush, but it will...

Free Rent
This free rent for November thing certainly sounds good. I won't be able to come up with the security deposit in time, but Mom may lend me the money or cosign for me. It seems like kind of a rush, but it might be worth it to get the situation settled. I'm definitely going to miss working at Oakland...

Moving and Dancing
I had just about decide to move back to Harper's Forest, but this lady from Fenland Field blew me away. Nicer apartments for about the same rent plus all this cool stuff like letting the residents buy stock. I'm going to think about it for a day or two but I'm 90% sure that's where I'm moving to. I...

Moving, writing, and football.
I'm feeling relieved. Making a decision will do that for you. I've decided to move. For whatever reason, my landlady doesn't seem to feel comfortable with me living in her condo, and rather that struggle to try and work it out I've decided to move. Haven't talked to landlady yet, left a message on...

Meetings and Rejections
Today's the day I would have started back at Social Services if I hadn't chosen to wait two weeks and give Oakland Mills more notice. I would have been making twice as much money for these two weeks had I started today but I feel better about myself for doing it this way. It's good karma. I go to...
