(no subject)

Today was the first day after the "real" move last night (i.e. the remainder of the office stuff came down to the new location last night, so everyone was in the new offices as of today).

We're having trouble with the phones - we can get calls in but we can't dial out, so bear with us. XD

Oh yeah, and our Network computer wasn't around so we didn't have Internet access at all today, nor did we even have interoffice stuff. But that's fine, because now we can just shout over the cubefarm to find people. XD

(I can't wait until I see my first instance of "prairie-dogging" in the new office. It's what happens when a loud noise, like a glass cup shattering, which causes people to peek their heads over the cubicle dividers, like prairie dogs.)

It was pretty relaxed today. We just had the entire day of organizing all the stuff we packed into boxes and figuring out where it's gonna go. I have a pile of wires in Master Control with no home, unfortunately. We need to find a place for those.

Barring getting a freelancer in last-minute (-_-);; I'm going in on Sunday. If there's no Internet access, I'll make sure to find something to do, whether it be sorting the tapes out or just vegetating.

I'm really digging this music by Jakalope... *rocks in the basement*

Condo rant

I spent some time with my parents tonight (shock!) and they're thinking that while the market is not the best of times right now, it would be awesome if I got this condo at Yonge and Finch.

Dad's offered to go with me to a bank or two and see what I can get, negotiation-wise. I don't know what to look for in those types of situations (heck, I got talked into something I didn't want awhile back and was able to reverse the situation before it got locked in), so he's offering to help me out. :D

They were talking to me today about things to negotiate - things like that parking spot. Are they going to make them designated spots or is it a set of unnumbered spaces that I hope no random visitor has taken? What happens if the visitors just decide to overflow into the resident's parking? Is there security for the parking? Can/Will there be a future development (like, underground parking or a gated fence with card access)? Because of that insecurity of the parking lot, I can also try getting them to drop the price on the parking, because they want a sale, obviously.

And here I am, wondering if they allow pets. *laugh*

Sometime next week I'll go with Dad to a couple of banks and see what they can offer.

If this goes through, this will be the largest investment that I'll have. And I thought the car was a huge investment. It's scary to think "I'm going to be paying this off for 20 years" but I can do it right now. And down the line, I can either sell off the property and mortgage something else or rent it out or something. We'll see.

XD

Because I saw this and just had to post it for my Haibane Renmei friends:
