beansideTuesday time! It's going to be better than yesterday, right? It definitely is. I refuse to let it suck. Nothing special going on really. Just a day.
So, after warring with myself about the job, I finally sent a quick email to the recruiter, just checking in. She dashed off a reply almost immediately, telling me it could be another two fucking weeks before I hear anything. I am so tired of them blowing off their self imposed deadlines. It has been four damn months since I applied, and I have had to contact them for every single update that I've gotten. First, it was going to be the week after my interview, which was on Sept 8. Then, it was going to be by 9/30. Now, it's going to be maybe by the end of the month? I'm so thoroughly disgusted and discouraged that I could just spit.
After that, I did very little of the busywork that I was assigned. I just couldn't quite get my focus together. But we did finally manage to break down the Kallax unit and get it into the dumpster. God, what a dusty mess that was. But it's okay, we got it done.
Then, since my coworker credit purchase came through, we decided to go to IKEA and get our furniture. Big mistake. The plan was to just go to a coworker, give them the numbers of what we wanted and have them pick and deliver it, because some of what we wanted was heavy as balls. But, alas the system wouldn't set up the picking. So, we had to go pick our shit. This led to us buying less than we planned, because the one box was just too fucking heavy. So no bookshelf for the living room, oh well.
But we persisted, and by the end, we had my desk, a small bookshelf for my office, a mattress and some sheets, a cute little cart for the living room, all good stuff. We got it all bought, and headed over to delivery. Where the system yet again glitched. They couldn't book delivery. We panic called the brother in law and begged for his truck.
He came, but that meant we had to get everything in the house. Ugh. That shit is heavy! We got it all in, but were exhausted. Nothing is getting set up until Friday, most likely. And the base for the mattress isn't coming until Sunday (from Amazon). Now to find a little nightstand and we'll be ready to move out into the front basement. To be honest, if I can get it cleared up, we may do it before then, but we shall see.
Eventually, everything worked out, but damn, it made us work for it. By the time we got everything in the house (why did I choose a solid wood desk!) all we were good for was going to sleep.
But it's all good. We've got D&D on Saturday, and we shall have a nice new bedroom, and hopefully at some point, I'll get word on the job. And next week, we have the Melting Pot's Oktoberfest! That'll be nice! I am looking forward to it. I was hoping it would be a celebration or consolation dinner, but I guess not. Oh well, I shall deal.
Okay, going to go get pants on and face the day. Have a good Tuesday everyone!
