I am decidedly unhappy about the fact that I am still in the midwest.
My job called on December 30th, to give me a wonderful end-of-the-year bit of news. They did not have their budget approved for 2009, making it impossible for me to actually start my job on January (my previously agreed upon first day). And I sure as poop cannot afford to be back in New York for 2-4 weeks without income. So I'm still here, being extremely lazy at my mom's house, just waiting to hear from them. Mid-to-late January was their estimated time frame.
So I'm sitting here on a Friday night, watching 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' and lamenting the fact that 'Revolutionary Road' isn't playing in any movie theater in the metro Detroit area. What gives?! And of course, I was reading an entry on the New York Times' book blog, and saw that a terribly interesting writer is giving a reading in NYC in a couple of days.
Sigh. I will have to content myself with my two stupid little dogs for a couple of weeks and just try not to go crazy here. Outlook: not so good.
The holidays came and went. These past few months have, quite frankly, been a blur - and the holidays were no exception. I drank too much with old friends, and then suddenly it was New Year's Day and I was nestled in to the best spooning situation of my life, between two large boys who I have I known forever and who I love dearly. And here I am now, sleeping 12+ hours a night and feeling very disappointed in the way that 2009 is starting. I should be in New York, about to start a job (finally) and about to have a life of my own (finally)!!! I feel so let down and nearly miserable. But I guess there's no point in that, because I'm stuck here until further notice. It's bad tv from here on out. I don't even have a car to use here! Oh, this is dismal. Even free meals lose their appeal under these conditions.
Ok. I will keep my self pity to myself from now on. Now, I'm going to watch this stupid movie on stupid ABC Family or whatever stupid cable network this is and pine after John Corbett, even though he's balding.
All aboard the misery train!
