i am once again gainfully employed. at an architecture firm. not doing anything particularly interesting, but the coffee is good and there's free food most every day.
but the best part...
THE.BEST.PART...
there's a kegerator in the kitchen. so last friday i had a nice glass of deschutes red chair NWPA before i left work.
portland 1. new orleans 0.
also, wednesday was national margarita day so one of the project managers made margaritas. so i drank margaritas at my desk all afternoon. then we all went out for happy hour and the company paid. i'm already spoiled.
HOWEVER...i work downtown. and boora doesn't pay for parking. so matt and i started carpooling, which means i ride with him to his work in the northwest and then hop on the streetcar to downtown. i feel like such a grown up.
i am having a hard time adjusting to working again. i miss ella. i hate getting up at 6am. i hate the traffic. but i don't feel like a worthless, steaming pile of cow dung (figuratively speaking.) {name that movie!!!!} i am once again contributing to the household. and feeding ella's food habit. it's OOC.
you do not have a kegerator at work! oh em gee.
ReplyDeletei bet ella misses you too. :( sophie used to eat the wall (literally, chewed holes on the corners where the walls met in our apartment) when i went to work in houston, she was lonely! or just weird... prob both.
Frrrriiiicccckkk! I need to move to Portland!! I bet they have real winters, too -- not, "Hey, it's February, but it's 75 degrees outside" fake winter. Bitter? Maybe.
ReplyDeleteGoing to NOLA this weekend. I'll go to Juan's in honor of you.
