The Status Report (Edit 1)

Moving plans: SNAFU I hired a mover! They will load the truck and unload. HOO-RAH!

Chances of finding an apartment when I'm down there: 1 in 90 Slightly better. A lady called me back, apologizing for her late response 'cause she was getting ready for the holidays. If she digs my credit report and references, I should have something by the new years!

Going away parties: 2 The pub.librarians organized an intimate and cozy going away party! They gave me a basket with sunblock, lip sunblock, aloe vera gel, and cool sunglasses! Canadian Jane gave me a snowman in a Christmas ball with snow. Inscribed on the bottom: So you don't forget the snow! --Canadian Jane Afterwards, we went to a Christmas light show.

Big Boss at the univ.library gave me a nice going away party with some words of wisdom:

Lead by consent, and not from simply from getting assigned a leadership role. You'll be more effective if people trust you to lead.

Encourage those around you to develop their skills and flourish!

It's okay if you can't stand the people you work with. (He said he never met a dean or lib.administrator he liked much) There will be others nearby who can strike that.

Current temperature in my flat: 45 Degrees Fahrenheit Probably around 65. The landlord went into Ghetto Girl's unit and turned the heat on.

In all probability: Will call Greaseball tonight to majorly bitch Didn't have to.

Moving prediction: I will find some sort of vehicle by the skin of my teeth and will move What happened was that the original mover (Jimbo, John's flaky friend) backed out. I found a mover, and I'm feeling better, better, better!!
