Not really looking forward to the new commute, but it’ll be nice to be sitting with the rest of the team, and not in an annex, half a building away. Gonna drive down to Redwood Shores the first day, because I expect the shuttle Maxis is providing to be a clusterfuck the first day, but will try it on Day 2, methinks.

How’s things otherwise? The windows are still leaking, which blows, and it’s hard to say both what the problem is, and how it might be fixed. My guess is that it’ll require breaking out part of the outside of the house. Probably not much of the house, but still, a non-insubstantial bit, and will likely end up costing me a reasonable amount of money, despite the supposed guarantee. Which blows. On top of the $2666 in property tax that’s due (an apt amount, if I’ve ever seen one). Thing is, I’m not opposed to the property tax. I know where it goes, I approve of its use, and I know it’s relatively small, compared to most places. Still, it’s $5.5K every year that I somehow fail to budget for. Maybe I’m just dumb. 😀

But, at least I’ve got a paycheck to take care of that expense! Ha! That’s awesome. And a relatively secure job. I mean, my feeling is that this job is secure until at LEAST after the next iteration of The Sims releases, and that’s the most job security I’ve had… EVER. Which is pretty cool. In many ways, the previous job had more security at the start, and a lot more potential for cool stuff, but EA’s a big, stable company, and though I’m not gonna be a gazillionaire by the time I’m 30, that’s fine. I can still make it by 35. 😉

Anyway. Not a whole lot else going on, really. Gotta save up for a ring for the woman, but there are a bunch of other ridiculous expenses that have priority, sadly. 🙁
