Thinking aloud and stressing quietly

Comments Off on Thinking aloud and stressing quietly

So:

– House lease runs out on the 8th October
– I’m on holiday from 24th October
– I have no written job offer as yet (although a conditional one by e-mail); they won’t send me a ‘full’ offer until they’ve got my occupational health clearance and my references back
– One of my references hasn’t replied yet
– Because of my complex health history (I suspect) and latex allergy they want more stuff to do occupation health clearance
– It takes at least 3 weeks to buy a house in the UK

So. The only option I can really see is to extend the lease – *now* so that I’ve got somewhere to live. Because at this moment I have no house and no job which is a somewhat untenable situation. But how long to extend it for. Do I hope that everything comes through and just give myself the extra couple of weeks -if they’ll extend it – or do I give myself another month and a chunk (because one month only gives me ’til the day I get back from Toronto). Argh. I’m not sure what I should do at this point.

To make things just that teensy bit lovelier today, I need to go over to UWE and see if my results are back from my essays. I’m terrified. If I’ve failed again I’m royally fucked. Argh.
