Jeff's Journal

I thought finding a roommate would be easy, but it's been frustrating. I'm getting a lot of matches from roommate.com but no one is contacting me. Guess I'll try putting an ad in next week's flier, that should do the trick. Pleasant surprize getting to go home from work early today. Windstorm caused... Sign in to see full entry.

Well Lindsay turned down the room, which means at least initially I'm going to have to pay December's rent by myself. I may get some of it back if I get a roommate during the month. A woman named Heidi responded to my updated ad on Craigslist so that's another prospect. Still no computer logon but... Sign in to see full entry.

Well Lindsay was really nice and I'd really like to have her move in. She said she had two other places to look at, so in theory I have a one in three chance. But it's probably less than that really because it's clear that she could afford a much nicer place. I tell myself I'll get the right... Sign in to see full entry.

Went back to CCRS today for the first time since April. Just shook my head no when they offered me the collection basket. Kind stayed in the background, chatted with a couple people didn't discuss the situation with anyone, didn't talk with Rev Nancy. My sense was though that I'm doing the best...

Couldn't get to a computer either Thursday or Friday. Course the library was closed Thursday and Friday I spent the day waiting. Waited most of the morning for my oil to be changed, waited all afternoon for the cable guy. I'm thrilled to finally have cable again. I don't watch it that much, but I... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the first time in the nine years I've been here that we haven't been dismissed eary on the day before Thanksgiving. I guess I'll have to start calling Ehrlich Governor Scrooge. Got somebody to coming to look at the room on Monday, and three other inquiries the last couple of days. So the... Sign in to see full entry.

Got a new roommate prospect, a young lady named Sarah, answered my ad on Craigslist. I really would prefer a female roommate. I don't know whether that makes me sound like a dirty old man or not, but I'm just more comfortable with women in general. Most of my friends are women. Tried an experiment...

Decent day at work. Still don't have a log on, but I'm still working on the cleaning up the files project. Tedious but it's something until I can get my log on. They told me last week I should get it this week. I'm not holding my breath. No response from Rev Nancy to the email I sent her about my... Sign in to see full entry.

I've made a decision. I'm returning to the Columbia Church of Religious Science. I've decided it's important to me to go to a Religious Science church in my own community. What I won't be doing, at least initially is donating any money or time to the church. To update those of you who don't know the... Sign in to see full entry.

Today went better since I had that cleaning out files project to work on. The supervisors are so busy, they didn't even notice that I took the initiative and started that project on my own. On the other hand, they're usually too busy to notice when I screw up too, so it evens out. Had such a good... Sign in to see full entry.
