Well, I suppose an update is overdue.
Good news first. Sam (my roommate) and I are in love with our new apartment. We have managed to both beautifully and frugally stock it with furniture and necessities. One hiccup in the process is that the first refridgerator we bought (most LA apartments do not come with refridgerators) was cheap - only $100 - but absolutely disgusting. Sam and I spent an entire evening scrubbing it out. The evaporator pan was gross enough to warrant a few dry heaves in and of itself. But the real kicker came the next day when it did not work. However, the next day we found a beautiful fridge for only $150 and it works flawlessly.
The apartment is fabulous. For those of you who are curious, our new address is:
250 S San Fernando Blvd
Apartment 128
Burbank, CA 91502
Now the bad news. Having met my amazing boss in a very positive meeting on Monday and arranging for today to be my first real day of work, I received an email last night informing me that it would not work for us to work together. So currently, I am back to being unemployed. The scary part is that now I am in Los Angeles, with a very high rent (not high for Los Angeles, but higher than any rent I have ever paid before) with no current plan for income.
I have spent the last day and a half feverishly applying for local jobs, and all I can do is cross my fingers and hope something pans out in the VERY near future. I broke the news to my friends here last night at dinner and they are all being very supportive.
All I can do is hope for the best and eventually something will come together. Until then I refuse to spend another dime until I know I have more dimes coming.
