Home is where you place your coffee maker

So, new location, "new" apartment. And I say that second part with a semi-amount of sarcasm. I'm actually in a fairly old apartment. But it's clean, quiet, and has assigned parking. I should know....I got someone towed today. I didn't *want* to. Really. I've been towed.....it ain't fun. But the apt office workers made every effort to locate the owener of the offending auto, and were not successful. Poor them.

So, the apartment is ok. It's actually a fairly good size....except the kitchen and bathroom. Two rooms that, really, you'd like a *little* room to turn around in! Now for the final observation. Since this is technically "corporate housing", the complex provided the furniture. But not the TV. No biggie, I have one I travel with. However, due to my company being unable to meet all of my housing requirements (there are only a few: safe, clean, washer/dryer in unit , and provide me with a vacuum cleaner), meaning they couldn't get me an apt with a W/D in the apt, they said they would provide me with a TV. Ok, GREAT!! Once less thing I have to haul up the steps! Except, it won't be here until Monday. Now, I know of at least one of you, my friends, who not only does not own a TV, but finds them pointless, and doesn't plan on *ever* owning one (you know who you are!!). Which is fine....to each his own. But I happen to enjoy TV. I also use said TV to watch movies that are convienently delivered to me by NefFlix. Then fact that I am forced to watch said DVD movies on my laptop is just.....well, inhumane!

So pity me this weekend my friends. My idiot box is MIA until some yet undetermined time on Monday. Of course, this gives me absolutely no reason or excuse as to why my boxes are still packed!
