What recession?! Today I found out that my transfer is official and I will continue to work at Pier 1, keeping my same position in management which was really exciting! I assumed I would go in as just work a few hours a week as an associate, but they randomly needed a new sales manager the week I move down.. so this is very great news for me, my wallet and my future rent collector!! I get to stick with Pier 1, and the extra job will help a lot financially.
Also, I feel very homeless in life. I haven't really lived at home with my parents since I graduated high school, and have been floating all around between the Pullman and Spokane WSU campuses over the past four years.. I don't really consider myself "from" anywhere anymore- I have a house, but I don't really have a home. Pier 1 has been a consistent thing in my life since moving to Spokane, so I'm really happy I will have something I "know" upon my arrival in San Diego. The women that I work with are such a big part of my life here- I really do count them as a part of my family as far as living in Spokane goes.
When I get to San Diego, I will be staying with friends, as well as house sitting into late June- so I have a month of rent I don't really have to worry about, and a month of time to find a great place. I've been looking at places I would be interested in living- but I don't quite qualify to even apply, which has been making me very anxious. Most (legit) places require a few months of local employment history, which I simply wouldn't have. Also, I don't know exactly what my pay checks are looking like ect.. and I dont want to be rushed into moving into the first cheap apartment that will let me move in on craigslist, I want a great place. A place that I can consider my first real home. After the last 4 years, and especially the first 2 months of SD living, I'm really exausted from temporary living and temporary plans.. I know its not going to be the biggest place, or the nicest place, but it will be my own place that I worked for.. and I think that will mean more than anything.
Today I added one more temporary housing place on my list.
Tons of UCSD and SDSU students are trying to sublease their apartments/rooms for their summer vacation. I decided to take up one of these rooms for many reasons.
1. The rent will be a little bit cheaper, for a little bit longer
2. Its 3 more months I have to establish employment history/figure out just how much money I'll be taking in each month
3. I can research in what part of the San Diego/La Jolla area I want to live
4. I can make friends my age!!!
I'll be sharing an apartment until mid/end of August with (I think) 3 other girls (maybe only 2), who I believe are all finishing up their junior year , so they are just a year below me! After an appropriate amount of facebook stalking, the girl whose room I'm moving into and I decided we would all get along great and I'm REALLY excited! I think my stress levels went down from 5 mental breakdowns a day to probably just one.
Of course all this business of things going my way just leaves me waiting for something to go wrong. Im crossing my fingers it wont!
