So i have been meaning to start up blogging again since moving to DC, but it has just taken a little while... so let me catch you all up on what has been going on for the last 4 months.
I moved from sunny Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. in August. The move was somewhat planned and thought through...but as you will find out, many plans just completely fell apart.
Right now I am completely settled and loving life in the city. Above all, I am learning life lessons that couldn't have been learned in a classroom. No matter what anyone could have told me, I don't think that I would have ever been completely prepared for life as an adult. Its just one of those things you have to start and hit the ground running.
First Lesson: Be DISCREET. (in the workplace)
Most embarrassing story thus far definitely happened at my present job. Every morning, after checking my calender and email, my favorite co workers and I get coffee and sit in their 'office' (a decorated storage room) and chat. Its an enclosed room, so we figured we had privacy, and honestly just never really thought about it. One particular morning my co worker was talking about her male roommate that has had his mom come to visit 3 times in the last 4 months. (weird. he's 25.) On top of that, turns out this roommate and his mom are bunking together too...that's right. Sharing his bed. (weirder.) So we are all laughing about it when our Groupon for the day comes in. (A daily coupon for dining, clubs, spas, etc, in DC) and it happened to be a special for pole-dancing classes. All of us get pretty excited and decide to buy it and try it out. It's supposed to be an awesome workout! At this point some lady comes to the door, looking a bit timid. She then proceeds to tell us that due to some funny acoustics in the hallway, their 'pod' (group of cubicles) has been able to hear EVERY conversation that my friends and i have had in that room for the past month we've been working there. Our faces turn white. I have never been so humiliated in my life! You have to understand, us 3 girls have talked about everything from boys/dating to periods to... yea. Pole dancing. I avoided eye contact with everyone on that side of the floor for the rest of the day.
So, lesson learned. Close the door. At least the lady told us we were their daily entertainment...but I'd rather they get that from youtube or something.
