Waste in LA

The refrigerator in my apartment has malfunctioned and been repaired. I've tossed out all my of carefully assembled fridge staples and will now have to start again with only a few beers and an unopened container of low-sodium soy sauce. I bet this symbolizes something.

Suburban Bust-Out

I've moved to an actual fun neighborhood within the city limits of Seattle. Taking the stipend and being able to choose my own housing has turned out so much better for me than the company housing did. Yesterday, I wandered into a coffee shop that also serves beer on tap. Tonight, I walked across the street from my apartment to a class at a yoga studio. I'm in spoiled yuppie heaven.

Cable Cave

I finally caved and had cable and internet installed at the apartment. I was kind of hoping that if I held out, the agency would have moved me, and installing cable and internet here would be moot. Oh well. I'm still stuck in suburban hell, but now I have Law & Order: SVU to keep me company.

If the hospital offers to extend my contract, I think I'll say yes. I have to get out of this shitty apartment and boring area, though.
