I was young, but I absolutely loved it
it was my first real experience with "urban living" and I'll always cherish it for that reason. I totally get how someone would not like it.  Previous Message Previous Message
Nevermind that I’ve been primarily working at my client site since last year. I was working at home M’s and F’s but now that’s gone away, I am now working at our designated office.
The good news is that there is a chick-fil-a one block away.
The bad news is that since I’m only 20% in our office, I don’t get a cubicle but rather open space. Commuting time went from 10min to 40min but it’s all bus/Metro and it’s reimbursed. I pass by my client office to get here and if needed, I can break my day up.
I also just got I L L’ed at lunch.
Bottled sodas are $1 at the client site but $3 around here. Will need to bring my own Diet Pepsi.
I am near GWU so eating options are decent.
Met up with our agency head and his deputy which I haven’t seen in years. Nice to see them. A number of co-workers who haven’t seen me since leaving for Florida 18 years ago were pleasantly surprised I was back.
