There've been various weird moments as I prepare to leave DC: the very nice guy who runs the Washington Wheadonites insisting on giving me his Fannie Mae card; one girl of my acquaintance congradulating me on my decision to leave and melodramatically describing DC as soul-crushing.
I've been working on ten gazillion different tasks--of which, I will note, trying to figure out my Virginia state taxes when my W-2 places my employer in DC is particularly headache-inducing. To take my head off these various tasks, I've been losing myself in various fictional worlds: watching the 5th season of Six Feet Under and the 5th season of Angel on Netflix and reading Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld and Heir to the Glittering World by Cynthia Ozick. Given that it evokes high school, it was surprisingly hard to put Prep down. It's very well-written.
Because I've been either running errands or trying to coordinate people (to see them before I leave, to reschedule my birthday party, to help me move) or sucked into fictional worlds, I haven't made as much progress on job applications as I would like. My goal for today and tomorrow is to pound out three job applications. And to make some faxes and photocopies at Kinkos and go grocery shopping.
