Whoa, it's already one heckuva day, and looking like one heckuva week. In positive news, Dillo slept from 8pm to 5am last night. Turns out if I get 7 hours of sleep in a row I wake up fresh as a daisy and find the strength to do a month's worth of Quicken AND bake zucchini bread, all before 7am!
At work a search committee I am on is phone-screening, and it's a lot of time and also intense. And another search has 2 candidates coming in this week, so more time & intense.
mr. flea has formally turned down the job offer he had in Singapore, and will accept the one with the EPA in Athens, GA. He's really mourning the loss of the Singapore opportunity. He compared it to the time when he took off for unspecified points West in a panel van after college, and really wanted to get a dog, and went and got a dog at the pound, but realized he wouldn't be living in such a way that would be fair to the dog, so took the dog back. I hope that analogy makes sense. He knew what the right choice was, but he really really wanted to be in a position to make the other choice. His letter was good - expressed keen interest in continuing to be in touch and possibly finding a way to work together in the future.
I emailed two realtors we've been referred to last night at about 9pm, and heard from one at 7am and one just now; both say they will call today. I suppose it's endemic to the profession of realty that the people are incredibly perky, isn't it? I don't suppose Snarky Real Estate Inc. would be very successful. Sigh. Must gird loins. Don't know much about buying a house except that I have a lot to learn and it will be a lot of work.
