time goes on

Ahhh, how has a month passed since my last post? My three months in Vancouver has been far busier than my life ever was in Australia over the 25 years I lived there. And I say “lived” in the past form of the word, as I’m now starting to get settled here with no intention of returning anytime soon (well, I never was planning on going back, obviously, but it’s kind of set in stone now, to an extent). You see! I’ve nabbed myself a job! In fact, I had already nabbed myself a job (as a hostess in a bar), but it was an act-of-desperation-type job which ended badly (I was fired). But only two days later, I got an offer for a permanent job in HR and I’m flipping out with happiness! I haven’t been hired permanently anywhere since uni, and not only is it permanent, but it’s in my field, and pays about as well as I was getting in Oz. So joyous!

Joey and I are over the moon in love – we haven’t said it to each other yet, but it’s getting to that point. We had some post-coital conversation where he said “I want to tell you I love you, but now is not the right time”, which is so right because I once had a guy tell me he loved me while he was having sex with me and that’s just not on. Anyway, we reached some kind of turning point a few weeks ago, probably when he went to Toronto for a week and we had no contact with each other, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. In fact, we’re so inseparable (as in I am never at my house anymore, only to collect new changes of clothes, then go immediately back to his place) that we’re talking about moving in with each other. He’s the only guy I’ve ever actually talked about it with, rather than just doing it, so this could be promising.

Except for the fact that I’m getting evicted from my current sublet in less than a week and have no idea where I’m going to live. I think it’s too short notice to find a place for the both of us, but I have no time to househunt even for yet another sublet because I’m working so much. Arrrrrrrrrrgh. My life can never go absolutely swimmingly, can it?

Oh well. Two out of three ain’t bad.

    I was just about to send you an email demanding an update on your life! So I am glad you beat me to it with this blog post! I am so happy for you! A permanent job and a boy! Yay!

    That’s great. I am sure you’ll find a place to live- and in the meant time you can just move in with Joey until something pops up :)
