Mostly lurking...

Honors Program?

That's gotta be it, but I have no idea how he heard about that project. I've only talked to my advisor about it. Clearly they must have talked, but...it's just kinda funny.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

i think I'm just gonna wait till I get a chance to go to a Sephora store and get all made up and buy a bunch of cosmetics that I may or may not use. Which I'm planning on doing when I zip up to New York to see Spamalot.

Sephora opened Friday in the mall across the street from my office. Like a crackhouse, I tells ya. I'm going over there in a little while, to engage in a little shopping therapy.

Good grief, I'm positive there were other things I wanted to comment on, but my brain, she has gone empty...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

My parents had been saying that if I didn't have a job by August, then I should just move back home and continue my job search from there, which obviously I wouldn't ever want to do in a million years.

There was the issue of my lease, which I had renewed back in November, and I knew I'd have to do something about it when I got a job. My parents asked for the number of my realtor so they could find out options or whatever, so I gave it to them. I wasn't planning on figuring things out until I got an offer and knew my timeline.

Fuck "options." My mom told them to terminate my lease, which means I have to be out of here by August 18. And move the fuck home for however long it takes me to find a job. The only thing I support about that decision is the monetary benefit.

I can't believe she went behind my back like that. I mean, I totally can, but I can't believe it's already come to this. I have to give my permission, which I am obviously not doing right now. And since I don't have a tangible job offer right now, I don't even know the timeline of when I would need to move out, but it's probably not as early as August 18, given the speed at which my prospects have been progressing. Then again, maybe it would be. I hate everything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm just pleased I was able to think of something besides Hewlett-Packard.

No Sephora stores in my state, alas. I could go to one next time I visit my parents, I suppose. Whenever that may be. I'm tempted to try to find one when I'm in Houston this weekend, but that seems a little cruel to my long suffering husband.

My mom told them to terminate my lease, which means I have to be out of here by August 18.

Wait. Can't you tell the realtor that you did not give your mom permission to do this?

Is this even legal?

My mom told them to terminate my lease,

P-C, you're over 21 -- she can't legally do that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, P-C, that sucks mightily. Do you want to stay in your apt. a bit longer? If so, can you contact the landlord and stay?
