It&#8217;s not quite ready yet but they demolition is underway and they&#8217;re making pretty good progress.  The parking lot should be ready by May, hopefully.  In the meantime those of us assigned to the North parking lot have to continue parking at the old parking garage.  It&#8217;s quite a walk.  I didn&#8217;t realize it until I had to walk it today in heels.  =P<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t had to walk because Brian and I have been carpooling.  Being dropped off next to the East entrance is pretty nice.  The elevator is only a few paces away.<\/p>\n<p>Brian and I are really enjoying working downtown together.  For the last couple of weeks we&#8217;ve been able to lunch together.  It has been really wonderful &#8212; and expensive at the same time.  We agreed that we need to cut back on lunch spending so we&#8217;re going to start brown bagging.  That starts tomorrow.  It&#8217;s not too bad because it&#8217;s supposed to be rainy anyway.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, my new dry-erase board was installed today&#8230; And my new <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FStand-Satin-Black-Metal-Spider%2Fdp%2FB0002KNKPK%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dhome-garden%26qid%3D1205371531%26sr%3D8-2&#038;tag=lifeafter-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325\" target=\"out\" >coatrack<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=lifeafter-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> (bought from Amazon) arrived today.  Brian assembled most of it already but it is in three pieces.  He said he&#8217;ll come up on Friday and put it together in my office.  I am excited.<\/p>\n<p>Something that isn&#8217;t so exciting&#8230; I found out that I owe $400 to WSU for some Perkins Loan they provided to me in Summer of 2004.  That&#8217;s on top of the thousands that I already owe on Stafford Loans.  Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>Then we had to pay tags and taxes a couple of weeks ago&#8230;  And we have to make our first house payment on our Wells Fargo refi&#8230;  And we racked up quite a bit on BOA this month because of buying clothes for work (both Brian and I) and cellphone overage (mostly Brian).  It&#8217;s very, very sad.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ready for a normal month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After walking from the Bank of America building to the AMPCO parking garage next to the Protection One building (our old location) I realized how very spoiled I am.
