I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Have to make phone call for work.

Sleepy.

Payroll confusion.

Natter not talking.

Hate world.

Ugh. Just got the official notice that my apartment complex is going luxury condominium as of Dec 1st. From the sound of it, the units I might be interested in buying are probably beyond my price range.

You should find a good mortgage person and ask for the spreadsheets. Places have been offering us 30 year fixed, traditional, no funny stuff mortgages without PMI for as little as 10% down based on having excellent credit, and others have been offering 10K for closing costs.

Made call. Got voice mail. Woot.

Kind of ready for lunch, despite the time.

Punishingly Intricate

I just found out that there is great coffee in my office. I've never worked at an office with good coffee.

I definitely intend to check with the owners and crunch numbers before I decide to give up. But I'm leery of the combo of condo association fees plus mortage on a "luxury" condo, and the touting of the vast sums they're investing. Not to mention talking about gentrification of a neighborhood that includes a freeway underpass to our immediate East, a rehab center across the street, and tenements down the street that aren't going anywhere anytime soon. (Maybe the thieves that stole one tenant's car and the car stereo of another in the past few weeks are part of the gentrification process?)

Art Crawl!!!

Wow.

I make the coffee in our office (usually) - if I don't make it the coffee comes out weak as dish water.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just found out one of my staff people has pneumonia! Poor her. At least the main symptom is being tired, and she works from home, but still. She's going to be more or less out of commission for a while.
