The relief is palpable, let me tell you!
I start at NSRC (I don't actually know the acronym... but it's related to SSHRC, if that's any help) tomorrow morning at 8:30am.
It's a three-week contract, BUT it's very likely to be extended once they've figured out what the work-load is going to be.
It's also six blocks away from the appartment I'm going to see during my lunch break. Gee, wouldn't that be convenient. (Although the appartment isn't actually available until October the first -- which is mildly inconvenient as it means I have to find somewhere to live for two weeks or so -- Arndis and Tchang, is your futon still available? <*looks hopeful*> With any luck, my sister'll be in town by then and I can crash on her couch for the necessary wait-time, but that all depends on what her situation is...)
The appartment has a main room of 11'x13' (rather on the small side - I'd have preferred 16'x13') and a bedroom of 11'x12' (which is, I suspect, just dandy), and a kitchen that can (almost certainly) fit my china cabinet(!!!).
So it's worth checking out.
I can *just* fit my living/dining/office furniture in the main room If I can squeeze one of the bookshelves into the bedroom (possible, depending on closet configurations and so on), things will be easier. :-)
So things are looking up.
Hopefully they will be looking just as up (or more-so) by tomorrow evening.
Here's hoping, anyway.
In other news: I've been missing Paul a little bit today.

I don't understand how I can be so relieved to be away from someone and yet miss them so much at the same time.
Things To Do:
* Call my sister and see where she stands re: moving to Ottawa. (Plus it'll be good to chat).
<strike>* Contact the PODS people to see how much it would cost for storage+moving (easier, I suspect, than trying to find someone's garage to store stuff in for a couple of weeks, plus it means that I don't need to co-opt anyone's driving skills to rent a u-haul. ;-)</strike>
* Get milk (and, since I now have work to go to, Ice Cream and Veggies and other luxuries like that there! :-D)
* Make dinner (I'm thinking a shepherd's pie sort of idea using frozen peas, frozen broccoli, reconstituted dried shiitake mushrooms, ground turkey, a tin of mushroom soup, and the potato-squash gnocci/dumplings that I made the other night, for the top).
* Pick out a nice suit to wear for my First Day at Work tomorrow. :-)
* Go to bed reasonably early as I have (for the first time in a week and a half) an early morning tomorrow! :-D
Whee! :-D (Things are looking up! :-)
