The Official Milepoint Kiva Lounge Thread

Still in the shop.

Thank you for the reminder.

Hello Lounge

I am surrounded by boxes -- not sure where to begin with unpacking.

Here is the view of the Northern region from my apt.

Congratulations on your arrival!!

Thanks! I keep on singing the Jefferson's TV theme song in my head as I went from the 5th Floor to the 23rd floor.

"and we're movin' on u-u-up to the East side, to a deluxe apartment, in the sky-ay! movin' on up...."

(except my apt is tiny!)

Oh well small apt means no need to buy anything as nowhere to put it and more funds to spend on Kiva.

Definitely, and it looks like we will both hit milestones this month (though yours is twice as lofty as mine!)

How are you liking your new digs?

Not liking, LOVING!

Bldg manager of my old place was a jerk, but new place is great! All the staff know me now, neighbors have said hello -- huge laundry room and big gym to try out. Anyone coming to NYC is welcome to check out the rooftop terrace, 47 stories above ground.

That I am really glad to hear!

Very nice. When is the house warming party?

That is an excellent question! When, indeed?

I can fit 4 people at a time!

So form a queue to the right and try not to block the hallway -- who am I joking, you can only fit one person in the hallway!

Everyone is invited to come, even funny child japan. Yes folks, that's what his initials stand for!

Thanks for the invitation.

That is a nice offer. You will regret it.

Love it! I'd be there next week, but I'll be on the way to BJM.

I see my old neighborhood from there. Metropolitan Hospital. Best secure psych ward in Manhattan outside of Bellvue. FCJapan, I'm looking at you. How's Second Avenue by you? Torn up or okay?

Good m/a/e everyone. Back on track again after a busy, busy month...

Good m/a/e!

I hear you. April was just crazy.

I am at the heart of the current construction for the 2nd Ave subway -- I can hear the drilling and trucks, but having no problems sleeping.

I did not realize Met Hosp had a psyche unit, until people on the street started asking me where the psyche ward was. Perhaps I look like the type to know where it is!

It is your medical background that is showing.....

It's the lab coat with "Psychiatrist" embroidered on it.

So, she's too conservative, as a woman, to post her own photo, but doesn't mind her mother, a woman, having her photo posted? ????

Were you walking around carrying a brain in a jar?

I had lunch with a former colleague today (different team). One girl from my old team hasn't bothered to show up all week and my old team haven't tried to contact her. There have also been more resignations and the new Chairman of the board has told everyone they need to improve.

Their coffee machine is broken again. No big deal tlll I mention someone broke the kitchen tap which does boiling water and cold water. They are stuffed when it comes to coffee.

I need a stiff drink please barman.

The phone company rang today and asked how our service is. Mr wasn't home so they asked for Adrian(Adrienne?) who is listed on the account???!!! But no MissB. Mr said he didn't know who Adrian was so I blasted phone company on twitter for adding random to our account. I really blasted them. Mr just got home from work. Turns out he hasn't added me to the phone account and Adrian is his friend who he added a few years ago when he was away with Army and needed a secondary contact. Mr didn't think to tell me this when I asked this morning????
