sm update
Way too much move stuff going on this weekend for my liking but most of the hard work is behind me. We lost the condos in downtown Palatine where we wanted to live but it all works out in the end. Lodging has been secured so close to the old neighborhood that I am technically in it… which will be nice.
I was asked by more than one friend about getting a roommate and WHY. The reasons are both simple and complex. Simple being shit costs a bit more in Illinois and I am not quite ready to downsize into a studio. If my bedroom is in my living space it will be because I have secured somewhere to assemble my boxabl… but once again fucking Illinois has something to say about that so it is on pause. The second simple reason is it’s just nice to have someone around. I’ve been completely solo for fourish years and I enjoy human interaction.
The complex comes down to a human that I could successfully cohabitate with and my friend Jim is on that short list. The deciding factor is someone I can be brutally honest with no matter what and very little truly bothers him. What I mean by that is I can say “Holy Hell you are bugging the shit out of me” and there is a better than even chance he will just shrug and laugh. I need someone who is as hard to butt hurt as I am and also someone I won’t have to ever ask what’s bothering him. This is also the first step into my creation of a divorced fraternity but that is a thought that needs to be completed on another day. The last thing I will say is if it doesn’t work out, its just a year.
In other news I am in Kansas City again this week and the business we own here is constantly cracking me up. If you’ve ever watched The Office you might remember the dinner party Michael had where he shows off his plasma tv. Youtube Michael loves his plasma tv and you will understand what I’m talking about. As I was being toured around this building each one of them had one of these big technological beauties in it and after the fourth office containing one I said “you finally broke down and got a plasma TV?” Only one person got it… sad day.
My hands are big but not that big. I took that picture two weeks ago and when I walked in this morning I was laughing all over again. Two weeks ago a tiny version of the olympics was playing on one but this week they are all dark. I need to not make fun as I think these were a big deal perk a couple of years ago.
That was a bit of a sidetrack. tonight I need to figure out who is going to move me back home. Pods are too complex for me. I need a city permit to drop one outside of my current building, people who load it have to be hired separately, no guarantee when it will arrive at your destination but usually within 5 days, BUT you can keep it for a month to slowly unload. Ridiculous. I’m just going to let a moving company break it off in me this time so I can drive myself home. That’s it for now, back to work.
