WHINE
The move itself went relatively smoothly. It was only once I got here that my real troubles began. My floor grout is crumbling out in big chunks, the windows didn't work (and didn't LOCK, which is not what you want in this neighborhood), the plunger-proof toilet overflowed yesterday creating a 3" deep pool in my bathroom that would have overrun the whole apartment had the super not finally shown up with a snake, the steam vent on the heating pipe is melting the wall surface, verizon arbitrarily decided not to start my internet access until 2 weeks after I ordered it (today is the first day I've gotten online from home), etc. etc., whine whine kvetch kvetch. Due to these ongoing problems I'm still not fully unpacked and set up, and tonight I'll have to break down my desk and computer again, so parts of the floor can be patched. Meanwhile, a mentally unbalanced and scary Parsons student had a nervous breakdown in my classroom this week. If anyone's gonna have a nervous breakdown in my classroom, it's gonna be ME, dammit.Someday, I will regain a modicum of control over my home, post some nice pictures, and make you all jealous with tales of the amazing food in my great neighborhood. But not today.
