I Have Been Remiss…
…in announcing why I have been absent for two weeks!
I am moving from North Carolina to New York this year so that I can attend law school. Yes, they have law schools in North Carolina, but not the one I wanted to go to. So I am moving. Moving 12 hours away from your current home can present a logistical problem, particularly when you need to find a roommate as well as an apartment. Luckily, I managed to find a geeky roommate that was more local than me. Over the past two weeks, we have been in contact working out the details.
Last weekend was a huge weekend for me. Not only was I vending at a convention (I sell T-shirts and gamer jewelry as well as yarn), but I also had my prospective roommate up in NY looking for apartments. I was double-booked running the booth and discussing details with her on the phone. The result of all this was a) sales and b) an apartment, lease, and moving date! Yay! That sounds great, right?
Well, it is. Mostly. The only problem is that I need to move at the beginning of July instead of August (which was my previous plan) to avoid paying rent in two places at once. Okay, that’s cool. I can work with that…
Except I have a full-time job, and I had already told them I would work through July. Okay, so negotiations proceed, and we end up changing my end date to the end of June. They’ll switch me over to hourly, and I can work from NY on an as-needed basis. Great!
Except that I lose a month’s salary by leaving early and they likely won’t have terribly much for me to do in July. Sooo…
Now I get to apply to temp agencies and see if they can get my a job in White Plains to make ends meet for July and August. I don’t think I would need a full-time position, but I definitely need to bring in some additional cash. I’ll be stepping up production and listing of my yarns as well (I have a bunch right now waiting to be labeled and listed), so keep your eyes on the store!
I look forward to meeting a bunch of new knitters when I move. Hey, do you think I could get a job at a local yarn store? That would be the pinnacle of awesomeness. Although at this point I’d probably settle for anything that pays the bills for a few months.
…Oh yes, and I need to remember to get my E-Z-Pass. I’m not used to living somewhere with tolls!
