evicted!

on my way out last night, my boss unwittingly made a disturbing reference to the air force transfer (that he doesn't know anything about)... and then questioned me as to how long i plan on continuing to work here. it was all very weird.

i got home last night, and found a large envelope by my door. no, it's not really an eviction notice. it's actually the new rental contract - but it pretty much amounts to the same thing. the rent is $150 more than we'd agreed to. i spoke to him this morning about it: on the weekend, i'm checking out two apartments in my old building, and during the next week i'm moving into one of them. then i'm giving him three months notice, and i have to begin hunting for a new home :S

i really didn't work a lot today. i slept badly last night - my neck's buggered, not helped by an attempt (before fully registering the severity of the problem) to do pull-ups. i got strange looks when i set a squeegee up against the wall with the tip of the handle pressing into one of the strained muscles... apparently leaning on the odd-looking set-up and rolling my eyes wasn't appreciated too much.

i read a lot of neuromancer today.

i made one of my teammates help me read a printout of all the army regulations regarding seconded soldiers. it was a sucky thing to do, but it did have some amusing results :)
for instance, i know now to behave myself if i'm ever sitting on a naval vessel.

i spent a while sitting and flirting with our branch head's cute secretary. the bull walked in for a meeting, and asked me to organize him some coffee. when i walked in with it (to a meeting with others as well), the branch head was startled... the bull explained to her that if i'm going to sit and hit on her secretary, i may as well make myself useful.

that was kinda embarrassing, but to good effect ;)

i've read a lot of stuff tonight. in particular, it's totally worthwhile reading the last few posts from moonflake's blog, as well as zenstar's.
