God, I’m glad I don’t do this very often.
Only slightly less irritating than job hunting, and for completely different reasons entirely, is apartment hunting. Sadly, in my case, doing the one almost necessitates doing the other–see, and if Ottawa employers had just returned my phone calls we could have avoided that. If I go for the position who’s … Read the rest

Note to potential landlords. My age has nothing to do with giving you money.
I’ve been trying to find halfway decent ways to save me some money–cutting back on things where possible, changing companies if another company offers me a price significantly lower than what I’m paying now, and most recently, looking for possible places to call my temporary residence that end up being … Read the rest

And sometimes, Canada Post isn’t quite useless.
It’s a rare thing when it happens, but a pleasant thing. On the odd occasion, when investigating exactly how much money I’m supposed to be putting into how many hands and how soon, I come across a small detail left over from October’s move that I thought I’d rectified, only … Read the rest

How’d I get here?
apartment, employment, family, It’s all about me, Jessica, linux, moving, Ottawa, Pembroke, tech stuffI keep threatening to do that post about what the hell happened to me since the last time I was actively blogging (Um, LJ-ing, perhaps?). Well, consider this my attempt at doing so. I’ll warn you in advance there will probably be things that get missed–it *has* been about 4 … Read the rest

Not looking to move *right* now, but…
I could be persuaded. All this thing needs is AC and I give my 60 days’ notice next week. I think I’ve just discovered what part of my time off this summer will consist of. Sweet Jesus I have too much time on my hands.

My cable versus satelite predicament or: the only truely evil thing about living in ottawa.
When I shoved my entire life into boxes and got the hell outa Pembroke way back in December, I acknowledged then that my hockey watching days, unles I wanted to convert to being a Senators fan, were either over or extremely, extremely numbered. Which, naturally, pissed me right the hell … Read the rest

I’m back, and mostly unpacked!
And it only took me a small eternity. Seeing as it’s now 5:00 in the morning and I’ve not yet been to bed, I’ll try not to make this entry too painfully long. That said, though, I do have one thing to say right quick. Being a Toronto Maple Leafs … Read the rest

Moving day.
In the span of two days, I have managed to get every single thing I needed out of the way, and in record time. Which… actually explains my rather lacking blogness for the majority of those two days. And now, paperwork is in the hands of the Dell folks, rental … Read the rest

Blah.
I can tell today is already going to be the day from hell, and it’s only coming up on 10:30. The obvious indicator of it should have been when the phone started ringing more often for my way too soon to be sister-in-law than for anyone who actually lives here. … Read the rest

A job update.
Because people have been asking. There’s absolutely not a damn thing that’s changed since the last time I mentioned it, though. I’m still waiting for paperwork to land in my mailbox. Paperwork that I was told would be there by early this week at the latest. Well, now it’s a … Read the rest
