Life in Sunny Sacramento

Jun 04, 2005 12:55

Things are pretty nice here. I'm sitting at Starbucks (I got desperate for internet, gimme a break) "borrowing" free wi-fi from a coffeeshop across the street that's closed for the day, while soaking up sun and staring at palm trees. I have heard through the grapevine that Colorado is a bit dreary, so I'm pleased as punch with my new locale. At the ( Read more... )

yay!!

despite missing you (even if I don't really get to see you That often) I was so happy to read your post and hear that you are happy.

it made my day. specially the part about firing people for not letting you roll around in $2M.

now that I think about it looks better as "Two Million Dollars" rather than "$2M".

I think it'll look better sticking to my sweaty skin and giving me a rash in places that money doesn't usually touch. :-0

By the way, I've got a REALLY good picture of you that I think I'm gonna email you. Do I have your address?

Dreary?? Puh-lease. stephanova June 4 2005, 21:40:40 UTC

It's been raining for about a day and a half but
It's sunny now!!!!

Glad to know the trip out went well, you have a place to live besides your moving boxes down by the river and you're finally buying appropriate business attire.

Could you please take a picture of you in your pink shirt? I'm thinking about making a montage of you wearing pink. Pink business shirts, tiny pink towels... I'm sure we'll come up with some more good ones. ;)

There's no such thing as a picture of me wearing a tiny pink towel...period!

Your Jedi mind tricks don't work on me... in fact the way you said that kind of made me want to prove you wrong... ;)

And just to point out, this is like. . . . the anti-Robert post. You're in Starbucks, you've got a corner office, you've got your own apartment in the city, and you're getting ready to buy a pink shirt. Far cry away from roommates, bunkbed in Palestine, and poor unemployed newly graduated Grad Student vying for airfare home via PayPal.

Rock. Enjoy your Latte!!

Ahh, the astute reader you are! Well, the world has come back to order so let me clarify:
I'm now at an independent coffee house that's even closer to my grungy but cute apartment which was wired 50 years ago by a drunken electrician who ran out of materials and decided to cut corners. Tomorrow I'll go to work in my new pink shirt where I'll be in my rather petite corner office which looks down on a parking garage. Hopefully I'll get paid soon so I can begin to replenish the >$4k that I've spent in the last couple weeks along with the $20k I owe on a four wheeled vehicle and the $60ish thousand bucks I owe for my extra-long scholastic career. Does it sound more like me yet? :)

Still, it's sunny and there's palm trees and bike lanes so I'm thrilled. Too bad I have to pay taxes to Arnold soon. And I got a f**king parking ticket! Ok, I guess that's the sign that I'm really at my new home. Parking tickets and taxes, that's what adulthood is all about.

I, like Joy, felt a little discomboblulated when I read this post... it didn't sound like you at all. But, now you're back to the locally owned coffee shop, swearing at Ah-nold, and talking about your wishes to get rashes from swimming in money so I'm not afraid you got kidnapped by Obi Wan anymore (even though sounded like Yoda you did in the first line.)

Hearts and all that,
Me.

Whatever, I knew Robert back when he worked for Enron. He put the "lay" in Ken Lay.
