yeah, that means I'm moving again.
I won't disclose location, because I find livejournal to be extremely creepy sometimes.
Anyway, I have a balcony off of my bedroom, a two-story lofted ceiling living room,
a REAL kitchen with an island, and under the building there is parking.
eventually i'll get a car.
work is going very well. i have a lot of friends at work and one is a girl who is so much like me, it's scary.
obviously we get along like two peas in a pod.
her name is tracy, and she's absolutely wonderful.
other than that, my boss is awesome (he told me i was "off the hook")
and the other two ladies i work with are always looking out for me.
i'm in a position where i meet and know everyone in the company (at least our branch) and so i'm building my network quickly.
this past week, i went to lunch with jane, from market research.
she treated me to bergdorf's (they have a cafe) where we had chicken breast sandwiches on rye with bacon and avocado.
dreamy! and a gotham salad.
we toasted with cappucinos she gave me the ins and outs of the personnel. aka, gossip.
which is valuable in this industry, because most of it is true.
she said that in a year or so, her department will be expanding and that i should come talk to her and her boss about fitting in with them. i don't know about market research right now, but i know i'm not ruling that opportunity out. it's a good, high paying job for someone young like me, she says.
that's sort of an issue though, in my mind, about my workplace.
i'm the youngest person there, and although I have lots of friends, and people to do lunch with, i do feel like people want to mother me a lot and care for me. which duh, i'm going to take advantage of. but even tracy is going to be 26, and the only person close to my age is 24, which i guess isn't too bad.
trace and i went a few weeks ago on a shopping trip, which was fun.
i bought a fendi bag that i shouldn't have but still drool over,
she bought a black leather prada that i would have gotten if i had wanted to spend $300 more. (ha!) not this time.
i figured, i just got a job, a good one, and i should reward myself...so i did.
what of it?
i'm moving in tomorrow, and i'm very excited.
my roommates are older also but responsible and mature and i trust them.
i know them, which makes a huge difference.
and now, i think i'm done, and should finish packing.
