Totally copping out with a bulleted list already. I have to be honest, now I remember why my blog posting has always been so sporadic. It turns out that a lot of times I’m just flat not in the mood to write anything, especially not when there’s wine to be consumed and TV to be watched. (Or more specifically, several seasons of Supernatural to catch up on via Netflix. Seriously, how have I been missing out on this show since 2005? It’s like Charmed and The X-Files rolled into one, with an touch of horror movie campiness thrown in for good measure. Fun!)
Anyway, things are moving right along. I get up, get dressed, hike uphill (no really) to catch the bus, go to work, learn stuff/meet people/work work work, then head back to the apartment, talk and/or FaceTime with N, the kids and my parents, then watch TV until it is time for bed. Second verse, same as the first. Maybe this weekend I’ll have something more interesting to talk about, but not so much at the moment. In the meantime here are a few things I’ve noticed over the last week or so:
- It is way more pleasant to ride public transporation while listening to music – kind of like having a personal soundtrack – and as an added bonus, having earphones in keeps random strangers from striking up a conversation.
- It is much, much easier to clean a 350-square foot apartment with one occupant than it is to clean a 1900-square foot house that has four people plus an indoor dog and cat. Duh, says you. AWESOME, says I.
- Another for the DUH files: Being a manager is tooooooootally different than just being a member of the staff. That’s all I have to say about that.
- I shouldn’t have taken free workplace coffee for granted. The only place to get coffee at my new office is down in the cafe, and that’s almost $2 a pop. Turns out there really is such a thing as the latte factor. You do get a (tiny) discount if you bring your own mug, but at the rate I drink coffee I’ll be broke in no time.
Huh. Turns out that even with bullet points I didn’t have much to say. Sorry about that.
