Have It All. Nope.

Well, since I last reported the search was on in Chicago for a new job.
The search was frenetic, all day every day calling and e-mailing people. As of Friday, all the avenues had been exhausted, every person contacted and the answers were a surprising "NO" one after the next.

SO - while the search was brief and intense for specific positions in Chicago, the results were not at all favorable. Which surprised not only me, but my initial contact and her hot, amazing friend.

Speaking of the hot, amazing friend....
We hit it off at once on the phone and have been speaking, emailing and texting like high school kids. And sure enough, she is very attractive, excellent sense of humor and incredibly smart. She flat out told me that yeah, she absolutely was planning on us dating as soon as i landed a job there. Great!

Ok. SO - i got one out of the three. I got the girl, but without the job and the apartment it's kind of a sucky thing to find someone i really like and am attracted to and is attracted to me and really likes me only to realize we can't be together. Fuck.

So what to do now? Well, a friend gave me the money to move so i guess i will just wrap things up within a couple of weeks and head south.

The problem there is this: where i was hoping and planning to rent/stay is no longer available.

This leaves as an option to stay as a houseguest with a friend of mine and ex. She is a wealthy divorcee of 50 and does nothing but party. I can't even have a conversation with her because she is always stoned or drunk or both. AND she has renewed her friendship with my ex. who is over at her house a lot. And i absolutely do NOT want to see her.

Another option? Stay with a friend of mine. but his girlfriend's 2 little girls are seriously bratty. I love kids. Bratty kids? Can't stand 'em.

So stay with an older guy i know about an hour north of the city? This is possible. So i will see what happens.

I also have 2nd cousins my age in Austin, Houston and Dallas. I have never met them, but I know their Aunt so i will get their e-mails and see what they have to say.


OH - and i went to get a pack of Marlboro lights just a bit ago to find they are now $7.00 a fucking pack! And will go up to $8.00 or more within a couple of weeks.
So i decided i would smoke myself silly today and be done with smoking once and for all.

So just when there was a glimmer of hope to have it all - the job, the apt. the girl. Nope. I got one out of three. For just a little while.
