(I mean that figuratively and literally, by the way.)
So here I sit in Triangle, Virginia. I'm living in a shitty apartment now, but I will say with pride that I got a real steal on rent! The plan is to use the money I'm saving to buy nice things; when I get a better apartment later on, I can bring all my nice things with me!
I really love Washington, DC. When I applied within my company for a transfer to the DC office, I fully expected to be living within the district. (Inside the beltway, as they say.) Turns out I'm stuck in the wilds of Northern Virginia. And don't get me wrong, this isn't a short metro ride across the DC line or anything... no, I've got all the NoVA traffic, and none of the benefits. And for the record, I'm nowhere near a metro-line.
I basically live as close as you can to Q-town without being on base, and I guess I expected it to be a bit more developed. In many aspects, the circumstances of my new life are exactly what I thought I was leaving behind. Still, this is just a stepping stone on my road, and I actually think my compass has settled on a new bearing.
Like I said, I really love DC.
In any case, I'm gonna try to get back into the habit of posting fairly regularly. At this point, I'm gonna keep my goals modest since my work-life has actually gotten a bit more demanding since my transfer. (Didn't expect that!) Hoping to get a new post up once a week from here on out.
Play some vidya games for me, eh?
