Hartford Trek & Ongoing House Stuff

mizarchivistI successfully traversed down to Hartford and back. Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kebbykate & co. for hosting. I would not have been capable of coherency if I'd driven down and back in one day. As it was I had to employ the for-the-love-of-god STAY AWAKE tactics to get the leg between Worcester and 95 done. I remembered eventually singing loudly is an excellent method.
The teaching event this morning went very well. I got back a significant amount of positive feedback before I left, which is always gratifying. I also get all of Friday off to make up for working on Saturday. Part of that day will be taken up with getting an estimate from the mover.
Oh, I did make it to Rein's on the way home. I'd not gone in maybe 10 years or something ridiculous. Glad I was by myself! The place was a zoo and I was able to get a counter seat while those waiting for tables stood around for a damn long time.
Tomorrow: looking at 2 houses, one Watertown, one Belmont. I have hopes for Watertown. If neither of those work, there's one in Medford for Monday. Maybe I'll get my birthday present of getting a place settled this week. I'd settle for end of month, thanks. (Planning on spending May transferring objects and prepping the new house). The application process is rather more invasive than I remember. I also don't recall the name of previous landlord. The one from 9 years ago. I can look it up, but hoping that the bit where I've been in the same place for the better part of a decade is enough. I also have a conundrum regarding employment. I do have previous jobs I could mention, but I had 3 at the same time and didn't work at any of them for more than a year and change. I'm just glad they didn't ask for a tissue sample.
