the loud-ish neighbors upstairs finally moved out at the end of last month. i saw the guy as they were packing up and he looked sort of sad, which - briefly - made me feel bad about all the times i had mentally cursed them, if exclaiming "what the hell are they doing up there?" can be qualified as cursing them. i think maybe today they are showing the apartment, because i've heard numerous feet going up and down the stairs. although nobody seems to stay for very long, so i'm not sure. maybe it's just the maintenance company repeatedly taking stock. i should probably collect yesterdays mail from the foyer, just to make a good impression. for a while the door to the apartment was ajar, and i was thinking about stealing up there to have a look around. i have an affection for empty apartments.
i feel like maybe i should do the life-update thing, since i haven't posted here in a good long while. but i'm not particularly inclined. my still-rather-new position at work is going well, knock-on-wood. it isn't perfect, but what job is? it is, however, a much better atmosphere, with oodles less internal dysfunction, and that alone makes it worth keeping for a while. and i really like the regulars, most of whom's sole purpose in coming to the library seems to be to check their myspace accounts. but who am i to judge? if my computer wasn't working, i'd probably hit the library to check myspace and e-mail as well.
there is this one girl whom i find particularly fascinating, because she is so obviously a queen bee. she doesn't seem to wield her power malevolently, although if you give her another year or two, it could happen. it's so interesting though to watch the other kids vie for her affection. oh, is it good not to be thirteen anymore.
