Wow… the life of an unemployed CraigsList lurker is certainly fast-paced. I’ve been applying to jobs like crazy, my dad just called a guy and test drove his car, I missed out on a free iMac, I’ve just been offered a lot of about 75 books for free, and I’ve been scoping furniture for my sister. All through Craigslist.com!

Still no job, well, one freelance but haven’t heard from the other 40-some-odd I’ve applied to. My dad is having the car looked at by his mechanic tomorrow (it’s for my sister). Some guy is moving and put his iMac (allegedly working) in his alley about 20 minutes ago but it was gone when I got there. Yes I drove across the city like a maniac for it. I’m so bummed I missed it!!

The books make me excited. This guy is moving to Winnipeg and he’s trying to sell these books (mostly fantasy). I emailed him asking about a couple that I was interested in, and asked what he would suggest for someone who liked Terry Goodkind. He just emailed me back and said — have them all for free as long as you can come this weekend! I guess he’s getting desperate with moving to Winnipeg in a couple weeks. So hopefully I can arrange to pick them up.

And my sister recently moved out of our parent’s house (I’m still here/there), so she wants some patio furniture for her back porch. CraigsList has a free section so she wants something that can withstand the elements (read: Vancouver rains).

Those are my CraigsList tales so far. Bummed about the iMac, but really cool about the books!

ETA: I forgot to mention! I saw this post and my sister dialed for me and put the phone to my ear. She’s a stash enabler and she doesn’t even knit!! Unfortunately it was already gone.
