Boredom at work.....

Yesterday I came to the conclusion during an afternoon ping pong session at work that my mind is full of knowledge...


Allow me to elaborate.... when you don't have anything to work on ... all you have for entertainment is to look up stuff on the internet... which in turn fills my mind with useless knowledge about random facts....


For example I have been quite into public transportation ... since I am a metro rider now! and I found out that there is a high speed rail coming to California... http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/map.htm I feel like I heard about this in the past.. but didn't realize that it will be come a reality... that killed a few hours....


also since we have been moving I spend lots of time on google maps trying to figure out where everything is near us :) ha ha! Oh btw did I tell you we are moving to westwood.?? maybe I did... but I know I didn't post a photo!


here is our new apartment starting hopefully in March..



And since we are on the subject.. allow me to expand on the superb deal we found ourselves apart of! Imagine paying $500 bucks a month for your own 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment.... well that is what happened.... but it won't come with out a few sacrifices... although I hardly see them as that.... Jeff has a relationship with this landlord who is looking to replace their current on-site manager with someone new..... naturally he kept us in mind from the beginning... making sure he understood our responsibilities... which include ( collecting rent checks, being available to lease units when tenants vacate the building (Jeff's business already does this) and overseeing any work that might need to be done, calling appropriate contractors etc.) that's pretty much it! All for the fancy price tag of $500 a month rent! Can we say SCORE!! The only hard part now is waiting... they have to evict the current tenant who was giving a 60 days notice in December then they can fix up the place for us to move in! We are anticipating March! It will be so nice to be closer to Jeff's work literally 1 mile away! He has been making the 1.5-2 hour commute each way for too long! And it gives us additional space! That extra room will be so nice for an office... and perhaps a baby's room someday ;) ;) ..... oh back to public transportation... I found out that the metro (who I know and love) is going to be opening up 3 miles from our new apartment Summer of 2010..... so it has really sweetened the deal for me! I have a hard time justifying the 150-200 / a month parking and dealing with traffic!
Well this has been a fun way to fill my morning today! Lets hope I get some work here soon though..... Poor Jeff gets to hear me talk about all the fun things I learn on the internet in the evenings! ha ha ha!! I also have to keep pretty quiet in my cube all day so at night all I want to do is chat! Jeff on the other hand deals with people and talks all day so he is the exact opposite in the evenings :) ha ha!
Well back I go to internet perusing..... what shall I google next.....
