weathered

i know i bitch about this whenever i get the chance but i hate it when it snows! i don't still live on the west coast because i was hoping for a climate change. i live here for the mild weather. a foot of snow on the cars is not mild. this is freaking ridiculous.

because i live by mostly side streets and gigantic hills, they don't bother clearing the streets or the sidewalks so this morning, i slipped my way to the train. i should've bought ice-skates instead of snow boots.

i don't mind the cold weather - i actually like how cold and crisp the air is. but enough of the damn snow. enough of the ice. enough of the skytrain malfunctions. enough of the buses not running because they haven't cleared the hills.

i mean it - if it's like this next year, i'm moving. to san diego.

on a different note, i am entertaining the idea of becoming a foster parent. i know that the kids that need fostering aren't angels but i think it's a good way to see whether or not i could actually handle being a parent while at the same time, helping out kids who need it. not that i have any room in my apartment to do this. "entertaining" the idea is really the only think i can do right now.

had coffee with MGF yesterday. nothing out of the ordinary was said or happened. nothing more to say. although, when i told him about that guy that i was MSNing with and then he never got in contact with me again (you know, the one that reminded me of my ex), he was a bit frustrated with me when i told him i e-mailed and phoned him. his said something to the effect of, "i wish you had phoned me for a consult first! you shouldn't have called him. men like the chase, even if they don't like the chase." again, i learn so much from him. he also chastised me for not applying for the paralegal position in his department. i don't know if i would like working with him - it would be with him too. when we went up to his office to get his stuff, he pointed to a small office across from his and said, "that would've been your office." as much as i would like my own office, my current desk is enormous; that office was tiny. i'll keep my desk, thanks.

but if i did leave my firm, which i won't, i would want to get into a bigger firm. apparently, BLG has a pension plan. and they currently have two litigation paralegal positions advertised. i'm not ready to leave my firm yet. but i'm "entertaining" the idea.
