Consuela, I am trying to buy directly from landlady as she'd like to sell before Feb of next year to avoid capital gains taxes. She's being awesome and I think I may be able to swing this.
And, Lisa, SO COOL.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Boo being kicked out of office! Does that mean a cube, lisa??
Jesse, that sounds like a lot of work coming your way--are they trying to hire a new boss, or is it floundering?
java, it's a bit of a pain (especially when, say, the bank takes your downpayment out TWICE), but hopefully not too much of one!!

javachik, I have a couple of friends who are doing the same with a neighbor's house (they're renting) and it's better, but still a PITA.
I'm glad Dan already had a house, or else I am sure I would be renting FOREVER.
Also...OMFG, every time I bend over or twitch, there is a river flowing from my nose. This is unacceptable.
EW EW EW.
DO. NOT. WANT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It sounds like they are close to hiring the new boss, and counterpart is thinking about giving a lot of notice, so it should be OK, but still.
ARGH! As I suspected might happen, I'm getting kicked out of my office.
Argh!!!
Go, Java! That's exciting.

yeah, SUCK! I understand, I'm not a project manager any more and I don't have people reporting to me now and our space is limited and they are trying to consolidate groups but meh. Right now the person I report to is in a cube so that's a little weird though.
I'm trying not to cry but it sucks. Even though I know it's not a reflection on my work or anything.

Java, I find owning a home less stressful than the housing co-operative I was living in.
I totally want to run away and join the circus. Meanwhile everyone I know (well, THREE people) are going to Paris. I want to go to Paris!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That does suck, lisah. bummer.
javachik, I think home ownership is all about the long haul--in the long run, does it lighten or increase the financial burden? For us, it's been a significant decrease, so that's good, but owning does have it's headaches.

We still have no boss.
I have too many bosses right now. I just got off yet another call with my boss's (new) boss who is coming direct to me to discuss a pretty comprehensive restructuring that she's thinking through. My actual boss has already said to me confidentially that she's not sure she has or wants a place in the new organization. Awkward.
