8 hours in the car, nothing to show for it but an chair-shaped ass.
The trip was to go view rooms in Kitchener, where I plan to go to school come September. What I didn't know is that most of the areas I chose to look at were student ghettos. Crumbling dry-walled slums.
Apartment 1: I woke the people up despite it having an appointment, despite it being around noon. There was a motorcycle in the living room.
Apartment 2: Large kitchen counter couldn't be seen for the beer cans. Heaps of stuff were everywhere. The only available room was in the basement, with no ties to the heating.
Numbers 3 & 4 weren't too bad. And if I had any confidence of getting even a McJob for the summer (hard in Canada, despite having a BA, tons of experience and an MA), I'd probably have stayed.
So I'm back in Paudash, in need of work and wanting for a miracle. As in a million dollars please. Is that too much to ask from the internet? I mean damn internet....you rich.
