Aug. 6th, 2012 08:11 pmLots of new developments, some more exciting than others.
My first day back at work was good. Turns out, I do still remember how to do my job. Yay! I'm more or less caught up -- just a few things I intentionally put off for later. One of the adjusters gave his notice while I was gone -- he's moving away, so we're interviewing candidates to fill his position. I won't be the new kid anymore! If you have two+ years of insurance adjusting experience and want a sweet job in Portland, let me know :)
Yesterday was busy. I ran 5 miles in the morning. I've been running up to 4 miles at 6.8mph (8:49 mile), but since I was going farther, I slowed my pace to 6.2mph (9:40 mile), and it wasn't bad at all. The worst part was I just got bored of it, but my body was perfectly capable, so I'm feeling good about my upcoming 10K. Just have to add 1.2 miles. No problem.
After I ran, we met our realtor to look at properties. I'm kind of tired of going over the whole story, so I'll just say we picked another one that we loved and put in an offer. But it has other offers, too, and it's a short sale, so we don't know how good our chances are. The selling agent seemed interested in our offer (cash, above asking price), so hopefully we get the first position contract. Short sales are complicated, but that's basically all there is right now. This is our third offer in a month. The first two lost out, but we do still have the backup position on the second one, and apparently it's pretty common for buyers to walk away from short sale contracts, so maybe we'll get bumped up there. I'll be happy with this place if we get it, though. We should know within the next day or so if we're going to be selected for first position, and if we get that, then it's just a waiting game until the place is ours. Fingers crossed!
I go to my Weight Watchers training seminar thingy on Thursday. I had a practice session with my leader coach tonight and I'm feeling pretty good about that, but there's still a lot to do before I go, and obviously not a lot of time to get it done.
It's balls hot here. Bleh.
