It took a year, but it was worth it if this job pans out (there is still some paperwork to do and things to discuss). It's with The History Group, would be in my field...and although I don't know the salary yet, I'm fairly confident that it too will be kick-ass.

So, I'm glad I didn't sell out and get something low-paying that I was miserable doing and didn't cover my upcoming huge student loan payments.

On a sadder, less reproachful note, Gabe's leaving me. It's been 8 months, and I suppose it was silly of me to expect more time...I knew when we worked out this plan that I would most likely only get a year of his time. Everybody only ever gets a year of his time after all. So, 8 months have been fun, and it's good to know that no matter how much time we spend apart, as soon as we are together again it's as though we've always been together.

He'll be going back to NB on August 29th. If after a couple months there he doesn't find any work, he might come back...but I'm not really counting on it.

In any case, we are friends not lovers, and we both have our own lives to live separate from the weird life we will always have together.

I don't like living alone (and although I love my family, they actually don't count as the kind of company I like to have with me), so part of me really does want him to come back once I can afford my own place...but it's not like the world will end if he doesn't. Hopefully this job will pay me enough to travel...and hell, maybe one of those government gigs will kick in and Gabe will HAVE to return to Ottawa.

Anyway, that's what's new with me.
