Feeling rather discouraged right now. Actually its a mixture of discouragement and anger at my own stupidity. For work we have to do a whole bunch of stupid on-line courses that mostly bore and infuriate me. There is one course thought that I have done twice and have not been able to pass. I was convinced it was because it was actually tough but I just talked to Pam and she told me that she had just finished it and got 88% and that she hadn't even paid attention to it. Damn! Makes me so mad. Feel like I'm in school again and everyone is getting better grades than I am only this time I'm actually working at trying to do well.

"Anyone in the room feel like a failure tonight?" (Cut to me waving hand frantically)

Oh the plus side I GOT CHER TICKETS!

Well tomorrow's my day off and I'm going to go and look at a place. It's kind of funny actually how strange the lady that runs the property management company sounds. I originally called her about a place that they had listed that she informed me was already taken. I asked her if she had anything else available and she proceeded to ask me:

How old I was... had I just turned 24 or was I a mature 24?
If I had a job.
If I expected to have overnight guests.
If I could afford to pay the damage deposit and rent.
How long I was planning on staying for.

I seem to have answered all of her questions to her satisfaction because she told me to call back when I could see the place.

So I called her this morning and she agreed to meet me tomorrow at the downtown Safeway by the Coke machine!? When I asked her where the place was she would not tell me aside from a very general location which happens to be two blocks from my current residence, which makes me happy as I love my location. I suspect the whole reason for this woman's weirdness and her request to meet in a highly visible downtown location is because she will pull up in her car see me standing there and then decide if I am worthy of renting an apartment from her. If I am not deemed worthy I am positive she will not show up. Of course she'll meet with me but I'm sure this is her little security measures. Kinda like meeting people from the internet...
