Um... Ok, Then

Yesterday afternoon, shortly before 4, I noticed two things. First, quite by chance, I saw that my phone was still on silent from Wednesday morning's meeting. Second, I saw that there was a new voicemail.

Your application has been approved...

NO. STINKIN'. WAY.

Did I seriously just get an apartment I can afford that's practically across the street from work and right in the middle of my favorite town in the area? Really? You have got to be kidding!

Well, of course I called back immediately. She told me that I had indeed been approved, and they need a deposit.

Um. I haven't actually seen it yet. I'm not so comfortable with putting a $500 deposit on a place I haven't seen.

Oh, well, yeah, that's not good. Let me make arrangements with the tenant for you to see it, maybe this weekend.

Ok, so there was maybe some screaming and jumping when I got off the phone yesterday. The Supervisor has already told goodness knows how many people. I've been congratulated by my predecessor and our lead Ambassador. Which means the CEO of the Chamber in Town Next Door knows. I'm going to guess the whole Board will hear it at the meeting next Tuesday.

I'm moving in a month. In the meantime, I might jump out of my skin. This is unreal.
