Monday - Negotiate with my director about the terms of a permenent position with CSC. Haggle my way to an ok offer.
Tuesday - Tell my roomate I probably will take a position with CSC she tells me she "needs the apartment in March" so I need to leave. Gives me 2 weeks to find another place. I convince her to give me 3 weeks by telling her actually she had agreed to let me stay until the end of my internship (the 8th of March).
Wednesday - Everyone tells me I need a work contract to get an apartment in Paris.
Thursday through Sunday - Consider [read: agonize over] CSC offer. Go back and forth a million times. Finally decide to accept.
Monday - Meet with director ready to accept offer only to hear that offer has decreased substantially along with the sound of all my plans going down the drain. Shock, confusion, and anger ensue.
Tuesday - Get in timeless argument with roommate over not returning something I borrowed. Only problem is that the "thing I borrowed" is an electricity bill she gave me to pay 4 months ago and hadn't made mention of since so I had to find it and told her that I possibly left it at work. Roomate still demands I give it to her right away with arguments such as "you have to return things [a bill] you borrow" and "there's no reason to take it [a bill] out of the apartment" that from what I could tell, was delivered sincerely and without sarcasm or humor.
I start sleeping with my door locked.
Wednesday - Pride prevents me from taking CSC offer and I try to get back to something close to the original offer by threatening to not accept the offer and hence withdrawing from my current project. Doesn't work and end up having to follow through by going with my director to my current project manager and telling him I won't be staying.
Realized that although I leave the meeting with my pride in tact I now am one week away from being without job or home. i.e. a homeless person. i.e. a bum.
Thursday - Go into work with French pastery breakfast thingys hoping to surpress any ill will felt by client about my sudden last minute departure from project. Arrive to find manager has scheduled a meeting with me for "manager review". Brace myself for a bitching out.
Manager dicusses posibility of hiring me directly to work for the company.
I know it's just February but I think I've had my fill of emotional roller coaster quota for the year.
