Flurries
It is the saturday after my first week of work in Boston, and I finally now have gotten a chance to create the new blog. No pictures yet; I'll have to add those from home.
I really have no idea where to begin, since so much has happened since I left smelLA. This week of work was mostly spent getting up to speed on things, but since Thursday I have felt very comfortable with it. The co-workers (several of which are here at the office now for some crazy reason) are really cool. Working at a large company (200+ humans) is not as different as I imagined it, probably because my interaction is limited to a under a dozen people.
What else.. There is a coffee machine that does hot chocolate, and I am all over it. There is also a shower here, which is great since the morons at the gas company have yet to provide me with hot water. There is also a pool table, with felt considerably better than Old Slice's hopelessly undulating surface. Finally, right now the entire office is profusely covered by a mish-mash of various halloween decor.
My commute is about 20-30 minutes, and a good half of it is spend under a beautiful canopy of colored leaves. It is almost directly between Westwood (work) and Boston proper, so the apartment is only about 15 minutes from the city. Aside from airport runs, I haven't been downtown yet.
Our new apartment is quite a find; we were fortunate to steal a very unique 3rd story unit in a nice neighborhood. It is 2.5 bedrooms, has endless hardwood floors, and is always cold.
Patches spends most of the time in the furthest depths of my mummy bag, and I can't say I blame her. There's no heat in the apartment yet, there are lots of strange noises coming from outside, and there is a severe shortage of scratchable objects.
All for now.
