2:42 p.m. I had an interview with Goodlife today that went well. I know the manager so it was pretty laid back. She gave me a list of 18 questions to prepare in a 1/2 hour and the other 1/2 we talked about my responses. I liked the format; you have a chance to prepare your thoughts and there are no surprises. Whether I did well or not is anyone's guess. She has a few interviews left.

The good? It's close to where I live. Would gain some HR related skills. Free gym membership.

The bad? It's a 9-3 job. Part time. It may be possible to pick up member ambassador shifts, but at a lower rate of pay.

Liberty Staffing phoned yesterday about a position in a car shop. A position that may turn managerial. I can't picture myself in an autobody shop, but what the hell. Why not rack up some interview experience, if I get one.

This weekend marks one year for Matt and me. Insanity. Not sure where the time went, but it's been a lovely ride.
And I've been thinking about us, our future and have decided that I want to live with him. Yes, yes, first a job.

But really, we've hinted to each other that we see ourselves living together in the future but we've never really set a time or date. About 6 months ago, when I said I could see myself living with him he politely said he'd want to live with just a roommate before living with me (not quite as harsh as it sounds). I don't imagine he remembers saying it.

Rather than going home after his Vegas trip, he got dropped off at my house. At 2:30am he was sitting on my bedside gently waking me up. We chatted about his trip in bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. I liked it and I want that more often. I think he liked coming home after a trip to someone that loves him.

I know that living with your boyfriend isn't all romantic and joyous. But I like the idea of he working on his laptop for work in one room and me just reading in another. I like the idea of cohabiting.

Certainly there are things that would drive me crazy, having observe how he lives with his current roommates. But it's a daily comprise. I think, overall, that we'd make a good team.

I think his lease is up in September. His one roommate plans to move back to Toronto, and the other doesn't know what he's doing other than heading out west for a coop term during the summer.

Provided I get a job in the next month, I can save up enough money to move out in September. I'd even suggest finding a two bedroom apt in the same building (I like the area and the building).

I think I'll propose the idea to him this weekend and see what he thinks.
