Spring time becomes a sudden flurry of activity

I was sort of rolling along through the dregs of August and now one week into September I am running crazy like a mad busy person.

Essentially we landed a bundle of work recently that seems to be multiplying. This is a good thing... I think. The problem is that every time I turn around there seems to be another 3 or 4 tasks on the pile and yet the looming deadline is unmovable. The good news is that this is opening a brand new opportunity for me at work as long as I can pick up my skirts and sprint to keep up with the speed that the opportunity is rolling through its lifeline.

Meanwhile the search for new accommodation continues. I went and looked at a 33sqm apartment yesterday and returned home very very depressed. There is no way that I will fit my housie into a 33 sqm apartment and 33sqm is about all I can comfortably afford. And so I will have to start looking at the apartments that I can uncomfortably afford. I still have a month to figure things out but there is rumours on the market that well priced rental apartments are becoming rare... or else it may just be a sales pitch from the Estate Agent.

MrT's idea of a solution to my accommodation prolems is to move the wedding up by 7 months to a week after my landlord wants his apartment back... this doesn't seem like a solution to reduce any stress but perhaps I may be won around as long as I get a nice party with all my splendid friends in a pretty dress. Thus far however I am not convinced yet that Guy Fawks Day is the best day to get married if we are aiming at it only from today.

I have noticed recently in my several many dealings with a multitude of people in this new work opportunity and with real estate agents that occassionally people won't take my calls if I phone from my work desk phone. It seems completely counter productive that people still practice blocking calls from All Private Numbers when it is the cellphone number they give out for business purposes.

Worse than that is the real estate agent that seems to take a week to respond to any emails from me. Isn't the point of email to be faster than sending a letter via the postal service?

So now I will return home and make the most of the opportunity to space out a little over some floor moping and vacuuming.... to return to my desk tomorrow and leap with enthusiasm onto this spinning mouse wheel again.
