Up, Down. Up, Down.

Today was kind of a roller coaster. I've been waiting to hear on a possible job in Boise. The intent was to sort of create this job with me in mind, and I'd be managing an area I used to work in years ago. I found out today that the funding fell through, and it looks like the job is a no-go.

Shortly afterward, I received a job announcement to do what I've always said I wanted to do when I grew up. (It has to do with public affairs and media work. And web design!) It sounds wonderful, plus it has some excellent promotion potential. I'm very excited about it and have started politicking aggressively for it.

I've been excited for the last week because my office holiday potluck was tonight. I should really know better than to get excited. But I can't really help it; I'm social, dammit! Sadly, quite a few of my co-workers are not. It was a pretty dead party.

Sigh... Oh, to answer Tami's question, things are going pretty slowly with the moving plans. I called our realtor yesterday and did the panicked home-seller thing for a while. "Should we drop the price?" (No.) "Can we advertise more?" (Not really.) "What about putting it on Craigslist? (What the heck is that?) She went on to say that this has been an extremely slow month for sales due to the holiday, and that things will pick up in January. Also, we should be tickled pink that we've had people come to look at it, despite the fact that no one has made us an offer on the place. So...I'll try to be patient. I'm not the kind of person who does well with waiting.
