Unfinished Business


I discovered a big, lively spider in my room today. I swatted at it but it got away before I could kill it, which means that there's now a live, angry spider roaming around my room as I am about to head to bed. Thirteen years after I first saw the movie at Y camp, my second week in the States, Arachnidphobia continues to freak me out just a little bit.

About a month after the offer was first, well, offered to me, HR finally contacted me. Headed into Boston today to sign some paperwork, thus propelling me one step closer to becoming a DOPE employee. Does your division have such a great acronym? I think not. I was all excited about being in the same building as a Stop & Shop, then I discover today that HR is stored right in the Prudential Mall, across from Aldo shoes. Its close proximity to a wealth of window and actual shopping glories makes it a zillion times better than my division and a zillion times more fun to work there. I like talking about HR and saying HR instead of 'human resources.' It makes me feel grown up and ergo legit.

Had subpar bubble tea today in Chinatown. I needed something cool and refreshing after sitting in a hair salon, waiting for my mother, and listening to catty old ladies chatter for quite a few hours this afternoon. The subpar quality was quite unexpected and rather disappointing. Saradonyx, where's the good bubble tea place you took me to?

PS: While researching (aka googling) whether proper bubble tea should have ice cubes (I don't think so), I came upon this question: "is bubble tea the same thing as a smoothie? I love bubble tea and I just want to know the difference!" When I read that, I died a little inside.

dong khanh (sp?) has the best bubble tea. it's close to bao bao bakery, which has mediocrely bad bubble tea, which is sad because they have such a deceptively enticing purple awning with cute bubbley font.
