Our subletter just moved out... GOOD RIDDANCE!
He was a nice enough guy and we knew him before he moved in, but we were happy when he decided to move out. A few weeks ago I put 2 and 2 together and realized that he was smoking pot in our apartment when he got home. Tonight, as he was packing up, the candle was lit, meaning he toked up in between getting home and packing up. Insane! Couldn't he wait until he got home?
Not that we didn't like getting our rent subsidized, but it is nice to half the apartment back to ourselves again.
How can I expect friends & family to learn what we are up to by reading the blog if I never post anything???
The last few weeks have been a little hectic. It was easier to post when I was glued to my desk and unhappy back at NYC-job (trying to keep myself out of trouble by not using company names). I've been back at old-philly job for about a month now and am THRILLED to be "HOME". I like my new office -- it is actually so cozy that my work friends refer to if as my Work Apartment. I have a bunch of lamps (no overhead lights), which gives it a nice feel. I also have my electric teapot, a fruitbowl, and a new plant - Jade.
I really like the new Analyst that I am working with (I will call her DC from now on). She is giving me plenty of room to do my own work and is not treating me like I work below her. Its nice to come back and have that kind of respect. We have an Associate on our team, SW, who is driving me bonkers, but I think his days at the firm are numbered.... So, we have been trying to get our coverage up & running and its kept me pretty busy.
When we get back from Japan, we will start house hunting. I'm sure that will be very excited and we'll be much better at keeping everyone up to date.
I'll write more later, but here are some photos from Ken's 58th birthday, which we got to celebrate this weekend. We are so proud of Ken for learning how to use the Rabbit wine opener (top photo) -- even if the first try almost resulting in the bottle landing on the floor. Turns out you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
