this morning #704.

this morning, though they’d once again told him to be patient, that it still might be a while, he never dreamt that he’d be more than halfway through the month & still not have an answer. his last update came just last friday. it was a repeat of the ol’ holding pattern that they’d been feeding him for weeks now. the last way he wanted to respond was by sounding desperate or pushy, so he walked on eggshells. in an environment where he had to jump through hoops to even get the first interview, he knew they had options. his options weren’t as open. in two weeks, rent was due & if he didn’t get an answer soon, he’d have to come up with an excuse. two days later, he’d get the news.
