Neighbors, and a new desk

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on July 20, 2001). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Not a whole lot of major interest in the past day, unfortunately. Went out to Neighbours again last night for the 80’s night — luckily enough, this time I managed to make it through an entire night without breaking myself. I am glad my first night was last Thursday, though — neither the DJ’ing nor the drag show were quite as good this week. Always good to know I got started on a good night, so a weak night isn’t as much of a bummer…at least, unless the weak nights eventually outnumber the good ones. That can only be told with time, however…and at a whopping $1 cover for Thursday nights, I think I can afford a few more tries over the coming weeks.

Best thing from yesterday, though — the landlord stopped by my apartment to see how I was getting along, and it turned out that he had some more old furniture that he was willing to give to me. So in addition to the couch he gave me last week, I’ve now got an absolutely ginormous table in my place. It’s actually an old heavy oak drafting table — I think it’s roughly seven feet wide, four feet deep, and a little higher than an average table. As befits a drafting table, the entire surface can be tilted up, though I don’t plan on doing that — once I get my computers over to the house, this will make a perfect workdesk, and I don’t really need to have my equipment sliding off onto the floor. It’s also got four drawers — one standard wide drawer beneath the surface, and three more filing-cabinet style on the far right side, and a power cord that leads to a two-plug outlet on the right side of the desk. It’s a great desk, and will work perfectly for spreading out all my workstuff once I get it over to the apartment.

Too cool…more and more pieces falling into place. Now I just need to get the job and money situations taken care of….
