Sep. 10th, 2007 07:13 pmWell the first day at the new office wasn't too horrible though it feels rather like working in a fishbowl. I got my stuff unpacked well before anyone else and then got to work in the kitchen. We needed certain essentials and I managed to find all of them as well as discovering that we have a metric assload of decaf green tea. I mean seriously, there's no way the entire office full of people drinking nothing but decaf green tea could make it through our supply in months.
At any rate traffic wasn't too dreadful and I'm hoping to find some alternate routes just in case one is filled with accidents and people looking at accidents (the bane of my existence). The building itself is kinda skeevy, unlike our last building which was like working at the Ritz by comparison. We've also discovered that the windows act like solar panels sucking in every bit of heat and radiating it about a foot into the space turning it into an oven. I imagine that'll come in quite handy in the winter.
Came home to find the season two boxed set of Avatar waiting for me. Tomorrow there will be special features...oh yes, there will be special features.
The weekend was quite nice, including a return to Alyne's dance class which was sheer bliss. I'd been a little scared of returning to the intermediate class as it's been about 2 years since I really danced at all. I wasn't sure if I'd remember even the most basic steps and was even more freaked when Alyne told us she was teaching a choreography and we were expected to just follow along. Ok freaked is not the right word, petrified is more like it. The steps were familiar but the speed of the whole thing was daunting. Still, of the 4 of us who'd never even seen the choreography before I think I held my own pretty well, surprisingly well in fact.
The best part was just dancing with Alyne again, it was glorious. Like coming home again, both T- and I agreed. We stayed a little longer after class to chat and it felt just wonderful. Afterwards I zoomed home and changed so I could run up to RWC and see my beloved![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elo_sf for some catching up, Metroid and Damages. I liked the latter, but don't think I'd watch the series regularly, there's just nobody in the series who really interests me and the whole thing lacks subtlety. I've gotten entirely too spoiled by British tv.
After that zoomed home somoonlightnrain could make me a very yummy dinner and we watched more Blake's 7. I think she's developed a bit of a crush on Vila and I know she's walking the long, dark path of Avon fan-girldom. Then aelfsciene joined the fun and we all chatted and caught up. In short a rather perfect Saturday. Sunday was full of errands and chores but in a good way, though attempting to get to the Art and Wine festival in downtown MV was a huge mistake. Those are the kinds of events that make the notion of becoming a hermit highly appealing. The crowd was truly crazy-making.
