No Exaggerations In This Post
I here. For 6 months. In Houston. Houston, Texas. Where they apparently fly the state flag at the same height as the national one. This makes a point, I suppose.
I'm here, it's 70 degrees, a marked increase from the 9 degrees I left in Boston. Also, much less snow. Also, in a cube. A cube. A cube. I started missing my old big office, my big ol' office, as soon as the guy in the cube next to me mentioned on the phone that he was "fired up" about something for the 17th time. That was 9:30. I'm not exaggerating. Then the 45 minute discussion of fishing lures. Again, not exaggerating. I use to like fishing too.
Other highlights, I've spent 45 minutes waiting for my computer to process because most of our servers are still in Boston. I wish I was a server. Another hour trying to get in touch with people in the Boston office. I wish I was people in the Boston office. Again, I'd like to stress how these are not exaggerations.
On the bright side, our apartment is wicked nice. I've always wanted to invite 20 people over to watch a movie in our private movie theater. Now, that dream is a reality. There are some problems though, the free gourmet cooking lessons are a little later in the evening than I thought, and our free welcome dinner did not come with appetizers. Also, only the main pool has wifi, so the other 5 are pretty useless. And the felt on the pool table is a little worn.
But we will persevere.
