ER

Rumour has it that a previous BtVS regular is being considered for the role of a male nurse on ER. Over at Whedonesque, the money appears to be on either Nick Brendon or Marc Blucas, although Seth Green and Danny Strong have also been mentioned as possibilities. The new character is going to be a love interest for Linda Cardellini (Sam); the latter two would certainly be more her height.

The Powers That Be have a weird sense of humour, if you ask me. I started looking for a job in Peterborough about eight months ago. After seven months of sending resumes off and getting absolutely nowhere, I was offered the position with the provincial government that I've accepted. That happened on a Tuesday. On the Wednesday of that same week, I got home to find an email from the college in Peterborough asking if I was available to teach a couple of courses there. On the Friday, I had a call from Trent University asking if I was still interested in a library position I'd applied for several months earlier. Seven months of nothing followed by three offers in one week. Sheesh.

Then there's the saga of the little yellow house. I really liked it, but chickened out of making an offer on it two weekends ago. There was a minor bidding war between two buyers; Buyer #1, who won, backed out of his offer yesterday (he didn't like the fact that the floors weren't perfectly flat--it's a 150-year-old house!). The real estate agent sent emails out to everyone who had expressed an interest in the house informing them of this yesterday morning. However, as I can no longer access my home email account from work, I didn't see the message until around 8 pm. By that time, Buyer #2 from the bidding war had submitted another offer and it had been accepted. It's a conditional offer, so it may yet fall through, but that seems unlikely. ::sniffles::

In other news, I just got the estimate from the movers to haul all my stuff to Ptbo. Dear God in heaven--this little jaunt is going to bankrupt me.
