I had dinner in the city last night with three friends, one of whom is the person who encouraged my university job application. It was a lovely time, but I learned a few things that are making me feel a little down today.
First, I learned that the job hasn't been filled yet, even though they dinged me! That hurts. I wish they had waited until the final decision was made. This makes me feel like I was an easy elimination. My friend, who has taken herself out of the selection process, was clearly surprised that I had gotten a ding.
Secondly, I found out that the husband of a friend of mine has lost his job. She has not been communicating with me and I sensed something was wrong. This is SO not good, because they have always lived high, and I will bet anything they have massive debt. I will try to reach out to her today.
Dinner itself was wonderful. It only cost $31 with tip included -- that's rare in the city! I had a half-order of both cannelloni and lasagna and a glass of wine. Salad and bread, too! It was very delicious.
I took the train, so there was no transit cost.
My brother will be arriving Sunday morning to deliver the dining room set! I'm so excited!

Not a bad deal at all, for dinner with wine.
Still have envelope of stickers; was going to mail, then got another one.

Sofa has not been delivered yet, probably will not be ready until closer to Thanksgiving. I will post pictures when all is done!
