In Which We See That Experience Is That Thing We Don't Learn From

And learn that things sometimes work out in the end.


My experience with flatmates has always been... well, a little [ imagine Psycho theme here] reeee-reeeee-reeee [Psycho theme over; if you're still hearing it, you've got issues].

So what made me think it would be any different this time? Well, perhaps the fact that I've barely met them, and this is just long-distance communication... And yet, already it's reee-reee-reee. Forcing me (and we're coming now to the crux of the matter) to be witheringly, lifetime-scarringly sarcastic. Screwing up, therefore, my chances of someone finding me a home before I actually move.

I'm almost sorry.

So anyway, what this post hasn't mentioned yet is that social gaffes are no longer an obstacle to winning jobs and influencing employers. A change is as good as a feast, as Margo said! The papers are in, the word is on the street, and there's a spring in my step.

Huzzah!

PS: Thankfully, at this point, I don't think they're prospective flatmates any longer! *phew*

Nitai: I'm honoured. And glad I'm not the only with the dubious distinction of having had strange (read: clinically insane) flatmates!

J: Thank you! I presume you mean funny funny, not funny weird!

Bob: yes, still Mumbai. But not for long. Y tu?

Apna hi spring socho.

And did I tell you about some student of mom's, who wrote that a spring balance is something that's put "in sofa seats, for better seating"? HAR!
