There’s no sense in worrying about any of this until I have some more concrete information to work with, but I feel like it. So here’s the deal:
I will find out Thursday or Friday whether or not I’ve got the job in San Francisco.
If I get the job, I need to coordinate a move. The fact that the new company would be paying for most things will significantly speed the process up. But I still need to figure out where to plop down in San Francisco, find a place to live, and get moved into it. Oh yeah, and work, too.
As much as I’d like to just plain walk out on my current job, I’d probably give notice and suck it up for another couple of weeks, because I absolutely cannot afford to cut off my cash flow that soon.
I need to be in Ann Arbor the first weekend of June for a friend’s med school graduation party. I still don’t know which city I’ll be flying from, and hope that I can find a flight cheap enough that the credit from the last flight I purchased (and didn’t use because the SF company bought me a replacement flight) will cover it.
My roommate is looking to rent his house out starting August 1st (if he decides not to just sell it, which is a whole ‘nother story). If I’m not leaving the state, I need to find a new place to live by then. If I am leaving the state, I will be moving while he is gone to China for a month.
I also owe him rent for April, which I won’t have in full until payday this week. Rent for May is due before my next paycheck arrives. And usually it’s not a problem if it’s late, but he’ll be gone to China before I get paid again. If he’s okay with my transferring the money directly into his account (since we have the same bank), then that won’t be a problem, but I still feel badly about it.
Meh. All I can do on any of these is wait and see and try not to spend any more money in the mean time. I feel like I ought to draw up a little decision tree. It’s like making lists. I can tell myself I’m being organized and proactive, even though I can’t/am not doing jackshit about it.
