So let’s go through the negatives:

1) I’m dealing with a huge acne breakout. Yes, I said it. An acne breakout. At age 22. I thought, given the medicated stuff I started using two years ago, that I was nearly entirely over my acne. Turns out I was wrong. Thanks, genetics!

2) I didn’t get the job. Many of you might have noticed that the only response I’ve gotten so far to my post about Offside was my brother Chris asking me about whether or not I got a job I applied for recently. This job sounded like a total dream (a combination of safe office work and cool on-set stuff, working for an up-and-coming indie production company). After my great interview, I thought I had hit the ball out of the park, but apparently I didn’t. They went with someone internal and told me they’d keep my resume on file. I just wish they had told me they were considering someone from inside the company in the first place so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

3) I missed my IKEA delivery. So I get another few nights (or week? or two?) sleeping on an inflatable mattress. Yes, I sleep on an inflatable mattress, and have done so for the last six months, so this really shouldn’t be much of a bother, but I had so looked forward to sleeping on a spring mattress tonight. Looks like it wasn’t meant to be. It also looks like they want to charge me an additional $75 for missing the delivery. Sigh.

Someone give me something to take comfort in - please. Anyone.

Edit: something to find hope in: other people. the delivery guy finished his jobs early, so he came back to try to redeliver my bed. No $75 dollar fee, plus I get to sleep on a real bed tonight. Looks like I don’t have to move to Australia after all.
