Ooooooooookay, long ass post.
Alright, then, here's the low-down. This has been CRAZY, lately, but good on the whole.
Wednesday, we arrived. Waited 'till five to get into the apartment, which consisted of hanging out with one of our friends in the area, and being driven around to take care of some preliminary bank stuff and stuff. He brought us over to Ikea, which was a few minutes away, and we picked up a few needed dishes, this and that.
Thursday, we scooted over to Ikea for more dishes and essentials, then came back for unpacking, unpacking, unpacking. We got most of it done by that evening, but still have one or two things that we're taking care of.
Friday comes around, and that evening was met with dinner with a bunch of friends; Kymri, Rikoshi, Doc, Andreal, Roen, Aaron, and myself, which consisted of eating and watching lots of BSG, too. Earlier in the day, we ordered a washer/drier pair, got our bank account put on hold, then had to get that sorted out, came back to Home Depot, and finally PAID for the washer and drier. They were going to deliver it Sunday.
Saturday; Woke up late, and shortly thereafter, the Comcast rep came by and hooked up the cable conneciton. Hey, guess what? The net connection still didn't work! Damnit! Many hours on support later, we got a ticket number. Damnit. Nothing. We headed off to visit with a few other folks in the area, and stayed there until about 2AM or so, watching *ahem* SIn City.
Sunday, at least thus far, has consisted of recieving the washer/drier, getting them hooked up, only to find no drier outlet! Awesome! Damn. I'll have to talk to the land lady a little later, but no big deal. We'll get that sorted out shortly. I called Comcast again, and waited on hold for an hour or twelve, then got someone who noticed our account wasn't set up for a broadband connection. How odd! That got added, and here we are, around noon, time for lunch, and we finally have a connection!
And, my first day of work tomorrow! Wish me luck!
