Hi, I've been busy

Let's see. The last time I posted? Apparently 4 days ago. That night was my going away party (not to be confused with my going-away girls' night out or my going away office dinner), held at my house. It was a blast. I didn't cry at all, not even when Ed broke a wineglass. (Wait! There's leftover wine. Hang on.) OK. Back. (Confidential to Stewie: There is also leftover IPA.)

I would like to inform you that even though I picked on Ed for having the party at my house, I love my house and I love having parties there. I also love picking on Ed.

Saturday was wine club. But first was trivia smackdown with Robin. Who beat me! That almost never happens.

Sunday Robin helped me put my kayak on my car. I brought it up to Richmond that night. While driving up, I got a call from my landlord. I called her back as she asked. She said, "I thought I'd let Orion out. However, he was camouflaged on the bed pillow."

I now have a cube and a key to the Richmond office. Came back to Raleigh last night.

I called my leasing company this morning. They wanted to check that I was signing my lease on Thursday, but would give me the key Friday, when the lease started. I said, "But I need the key on Thursday," and was told, "You can't have your key until the lease starts, and that starts Friday. When you called, you said you wanted to sign the lease Thursday, not to move in then." I had to explain that I had called to change the signing because I'm going to be in Richmond on Thursday, not Friday. If I were able to pick the key up on Friday, I'd sign the lease then. I was told, "We can change the lease, but you have to pay for Thursday."

Duh. Seriously.

Today, I spent the afternoon setting up cable, electric, and new insurance. The cable took some time, because the sales rep told me that Comcast's records showed that I owed them $90. Interesting, since I've never been a customer. However, the customer service rep found no record of such a thing. So, I will have cable and internet.

Oh, how frustrating with the lease! You'll have to fill us in on the new place once you get all settled in. You know that I would come and help you move if I didn't live 500+ miles away....

Comcast offers a phone service, too. It's actually a pretty good deal! And no, I don't work for Comcast, I just have their service.
