Eeeeeeee my phone says my sword has been delivered. I think I will need to run home on my lunch break to see it.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

We really couldn't react, beyond confused faces. Fortunately, she has not been back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So in my paranoia I had pretty much given up on the Kansas City job, because my contact told me on Monday she'd get back to me in an hour to let me know if they were going to give me an offer and I hadn't gotten an answer to that question.
Until now. She called me to let me know they're going to give me an offer soon. I'm supposed to start on 9/18 so I have 2 1/2 weeks to find an apartment and move. Which I think is doable.
I'm mostly in a state of shock. I'd been depressed these last few days when I thought I wouldn't get the job--I figured they offered it to someone else and they were waiting for that person to accept before telling me I didn't get it.

Thanks guys. I'm going to be very busy for the next 2 1/2 weeks.
So, renting an apartment without seeing it--yay or nay? I suppose I could drive to KC tomorrow and look at places Saturday. Of course it's the holiday weekend...
eta: the places I've been looking at online are all quite nice and in good neighborhoods.
