life goes on

[floatingleaf]

So... not much to say, I guess. Still feeling kinda dazed for reasons best left untouched, but life goes on, so to speak. Kidnapped akashaelfwitch on Sunday night to cheer me up - and we did have a surprising amount of fun watching Gimlet and The Crew (surprising because neither of these films was quite as amusing to me before...;P). Almost finished my new piece of A/L porn - need just a few final sentences to wrap it up. Received the thick FedEx envelope with all the paperwork for the new job. No call so far regarding the mysterious "site moderator" offer that sounded almost too good to be true - so I'm assuming it was. Anyway, even if they do call on Friday, I'm just going to ignore them, because it's too late to try it out without turning my back on the place where I just got hired - and I'm not going to do that. Still not sure how much I should disclose to my parents over Thanksgiving dinner, though. I could give them the good news, but since they never heard the bad news in the first place, maybe it's best to just leave it as it is. After all, at this point I don't really know if the new job is going to work out fine. I thought it would last time, and then see what happened. Actually, I did confide in my sister when she called me last week, and guess what she said, the clever little minx.;) "You're over thirty, you don't need to report every detail of your life to them. And should anything go wrong with the job this time, at least you won't have to tell them the same story twice." LOLOL So yeah. Except I'm not really comfortable with keeping up this facade every time we talk - and that is precisely why I haven't seen or called them in a month. Which I'm sure they're not happy about. So I don't really know. Anyway... that's it for tonight. Just a quick check-in to let anyone who might care know that I'm alive and relatively well. Hopefully the fic will be posted soon.:)

After slesia's sound advice, I don't have much to offer except to say that you have *several* people who care that you're alive and well. As for dealing with your parents, "smile and nod" always works for me - if they start in one you, jut smile and nod and let it roll off your back. You don't have to spend your life trying to make them happy, and if you've come to the conclusion that isn't going to happen, then try not to let it bother you that you can't. They have their opinions, you have yours - and in the end it's *your* life and you always get the deciding vote on what happens.

I think not hearing back from the "casting" business might be for the best - I got a bad vibe about that. Good luck with the new job!

And they're amazing people too, I might add.:)

It's the perfect tactics, that's for sure. I've been using it sucessfully for years.;P

Good luck with the new job!

Thanks! I keep telling myself it would be against the laws of probability if things went "off course" again on this one... lol.
