Hola hola hola. I've been in B-town 24 hours and it has been the longest longest longest 24 hours in the history of the galaxal universe. Not neccesarily bad, but eventful beyond belief. Let me fill you in:
55 mile drive from Providence, Rhode Island to Boston
3 breadsticks eaten in the car left over from the Phoenix airport Pizza Hut
6 pieces of luggage loaded into the crap Hyundai Accent Rental
$15 ticket for first parking ticket for parking overnight on the street
10:30 p.m. got ready and into bed
3 piece suit worn to interviews
4 interviews at interview A
2 pages of MapQuest directions to get to interview B
3.5 hours to burn out and about the Metro West Boston area before interview C
100% despair at being told that this specific Chilis restaurant does NOT carry Chicken Enchilada Soup. Nazis!
85% enjoyment eating the New England Clam Chowder from a Chilis. (15% withheld because it was Chili's for Pete's sake.)
40 minute commute (15 miles from home) if interview C (or tomorrow's D) works out.
$719.10 for the queen bed I had to finance. A bed. And I financed it. I've never felt so old in my entire life.
"Table for one!" the waitress at Applebee's screamed out to anyone listening--which was everyone, because who doesn't turn their head when someone screams, "Table for one! Loser coming through!" I loved it.
3 Diet Cherry Cokes downed before the true downer of the night.
1 GIANT ORANGE VIOLATION sticker plastered across the back left window of the crap Hyundai Accent Rental.
2 more minutes in the reserved parking section next to Applebee's and my car would have been towed and impounded. Said sticker still remains.
98% of said sticker still stuck on said window. Any suggestions on how to remove it?
To dull the sting of said near impounding/towing/sticker-sticking, $13.47 spent on:
1/2 pint mint chocolate chip ice cream
2 giant bags of Skittles
10 mini Mounds bars
75% off Christmas-colored-foil Kisses
24 Diet Pepsis
Well I guess that's it. Like I said, an eventful, totally self-involved blogging day. Thanks for tuning in. Another adventure tomorrow.

I'm just curious---are you aware of how number-obsessed you are or does it just come naturally?
Ha ha, just kidding, this isn't anoymous, it's Marie. And hey, how about that Shaw's candy run last night? I'm still feeling the Christmas 75 % off love...
I totally misspelt anonymous. I'm so embarrassessed. Sorry.
Try a razor and some alcohol - no, not to kill yourself and/or get drunk. . . To get the sticker off of your window. If the alcohol doesn't work, maybe Goo-gone?
So sad, so sad. . .
Bummer day for you! At least you have some interviews down and a bed for when you officially move in!
My commute is like 20 miles, but i can make it in less than 20 minutes. The trick is to leave at 6am and beat all the traffic. But that only works if traffic happens to be your arch-nemesis like it is mine.
