enthusiastickIt has not been easy being a Red Sox fan this week. But the past couple of nights have helped.
I had a really good time on Sunday... I went over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
syganzychick's place in Vernon, met her fiancee and a couple of her friends, and played some D&D. I'm talking 1st Level characters, dungeon-crawl-y in the extreme 3.5 D&D. Its good stuff. I am playing a Dwarven Fighter. It was very cool to catch up with syganzychick, and it seems like she's got a pretty good crew of friends going out there. Really I spent the rest of the weekend crawling the walls in need of non-family human contact, so it was a nice release valve on my sanity.
I love Fleet bank... I always have. Anyone who ever had problems with banks in Chicago, particularly La Salle, would hear me ranting about how much I missed my Fleet account - and its been nice to come home to it. But they are now becoming Bank of America, and I am filled with fear. My father lost his wallet and keys on the train about a week ago and called to cancel all his credit cards, including his debit card. Fleet failed to cancel his card and instead cancelled mine, causing it to be declined at Midway on my way back from my trip and finally eaten by an ATM machine Saturday night. I was able to sort the whole thing out with no fuss whatsoever today, but I am still perturbed that this is a sign of things to come.
Not much else to report. My parents are getting antsy about my lack of a job and/or job prospects. Frankly so am I, but we're pushing in opposite directions. My Mom has me going to a local career fair on Wednesday and my Dad has me chasing down Boston-based jobs. I, meanwhile, scheme about getting seasonal employment long enough to scrape together the cash to just get my butt back out to Chicago. If I have to depend upon the kindness of my friends for a month while I figure stuff the hell out that's OK with me, because I have faith that they'd pull together. My parents don't seem to get that I know now that if I stay around here there are things I will miss so badly it will drive me crazy. I'm not willing to settle.
