Well, I’ve moved to Chicago. Nearly three weeks ago, actually. It’s been mixed. I love my new job. I work as a legal assistant, and that’s about as much as I’m willing to say online. It’s in an office, very white collar. It’s in a big tall office building, and I have a cubicle and everything. I’m pretty excited about decorating it, any ideas?
I’ve worked there two weeks now, so far it’s a challenge, but I enjoy that. Honestly, no complaints about the job. I work with some interesting people and they’re all pretty nice. I don’t know if I’d hang out with any of them outside of work, but we’ll see. There’s about an hour commute, which I could do without. I’m working on getting an apartment closer to work.
The room I’m renting now just isn’t working out. I just don’t feel I have freedoms. An old friend of mine who lives here in the city wants me to get a place with him, we’d been talking about it for awhile but not much progress. I had honestly planned to move into a place by myself in October. But, he’s ready and wants a deposit next week. It’s all a bit much for me, I don’t even know when we’ll be able to move in. I don’t want to pay for a month’s rent at this place only to move a week into the month. Just too much money to burn, and Chicago is expensive enough already. In fact, I managed to leave town without my security deposit or $50 a friend owed me.. both of which I’m still without. If I had that money things wouldn’t be so dire, but at the moment, I’m dead broke. Payday is Friday though, there is hope. I’ve got some groceries and money for the train and bus until then.
I like the free antenna TV around here. Some nice local public access type shows. There is a restaurant review show that I enjoy. I am redy to get my Netflix re-activated any time though. I’ve been reading Let The Right One In, also a film. It had a slow start but it’s turning out to be a very good book with a rich, exciting story. It’s about vampires, which helps too. I haven’t been going out much, and I really don’t want to meet people or be social. I don’t like bars or clubs, unless they have cheap food. They’re usually too loud. I do have a place down the street with $2 burgers on Mondays. They have shepherd’s pie (a favorite of mine) every Wednesday, but I have yet to try it.
Well, Soddy, here’s your blog entry.
I’m off to watch Antiques Roadshow.
