I'm looking at an apartment in Binghamton on Sunday. It's expensive and it's really, really close to my mom's. She insisted we look at it. There are reasons to stay in Binghamton... and Amanda is my only reason to move to Beacon/ Poughkeepsie/ wherever we end up. I'm supposed to go to look at apartments in Beacon next weekend. I guess I'll see how that goes. After that, I'll probably need to make a decision.
The temping is going well. Being a receptionist isn't too hard... but I still manage to do a sub-par job. I'd forgotten how boring the Internet can seem after you've been sitting at a computer for seven hours. I can amuse myself online longer than a lot of people, but right now, I just want to put my head on my desk and take a nap. I have a book, but it's too confusing to read and be interrupted by phone calls. I'm just not a great multi-tasker. I remember trying to write while working the front desk at Siegel and it was next to impossible. Writing requires a flow. I can't stop between paragraphs and pretend to be working. The ideal tasks to combine are answering phones and stuffing envelopes. Stuffing envelopes is totally a Zen experience.

I'm so glad someone else understands why I love stuffing envelopes sometimes.
THANK YOU!

I like stuffing envelopes too. When I worked that Corporate Communications internship in '05, my favorite times were when I had to do the big mailings. Unless I'd just loaded up on chocolate-covered espresso beans. Then there was no zen in anything. Ack.
