It’s done.
My year and a half sentence in NYC is coming to a close. I’ll be out of here in less than 3 weeks, on my way to sunny California. To answer the question I know at least 2 of you are asking, yes, I’ll be a the same company doing nearly the same job.
Moving on, I just signed the lease on a place in Sunnyvale and hello, I will have a yard. I haven’t had a yard since 2003 so this is a big deal for me. I plan to fully go overboard with my yard so if you ever stop by, be prepared to see a bunch of solar powered lanterns, a hammock, and perhaps a tacky fountain. Oh yeah.
Since I’m doing this move mostly on my own, I’ve opted to sell almost all my stuff, send some boxes via UPS ground (mostly clothes and books) and anything else will go on the plane with me. I figure this way the move will be clean start in California (plus I’m pretty over these leather couches).
I will miss some things about New York, to be sure. In the spirit of ridiculous linkbait top ten lists, here are the top 10 things I will miss about New York.
-
Cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery (love the frosting and what is a cupcake but a frosting delivery mechanism?)
Burp Castle (the one place I can go and drink the “beer” on tap)
Google NYC (arguably the best Google office in existence)
No vehicle expenses (not looking forward to the car payment+insurance payment)
Kati Roll (mmm Unda Aloo roll)
Broadway (I’ve only been to one Broadway play but I will likely come back here a few times to view more)
The Acela to the MD/DC area (for undisclosed reasons)
Mass transit to get anywhere
NYOPS (Viva La Kaiser!)
New York pizza slices
I’d write a list about things I will not miss about NYC but that would take up the entire time I have left here and I still need to pack.
