Here are some pictures of the new art I got as a Christmas gift for the apartment. It's called Spitzen in Bogen by abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky. Now when you walk in the front door, it looks like someone lives here!
I'm sitting here anxiously awaiting the New Hampshire results on CNN. 39% Clinton, 37% Obama. Hopefully he can pull through in the college towns that have yet to announce their results. Give me some good news, Anderson!
I finished Day 2 of my new job at Roundabout today. It's going to be really great. I love the people I'm working with, and they are very helpful in easing me into the new environment. While Roundabout is considered a main competitor of MTC, they are really quite different. Overall, the office environment at RTC is more formal. My desk is really nice: wraparound dark wood with a flat screen computer. It was even all already stocked with all the bells and whistles of office supplies.
On my first day, my two bosses, Julie and Corey, took me to lunch at a little cafe. It was a lot of fun, and it really helped me get a better feel for the company. Corey even gave me a gift...a bunch of stuff to keep around my desk to keep me healthy (hand sanitizer, Emergen-C, etc).
Tonight I worked my first night event. Our upcoming show, The 39 Steps, is based on a story made famous by the Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. It opens next week, and as a perk for the board and patrons, we held a private screening of the film at a small, old-fashioned theatre in Columbus Circle. While the event was similar to the night events at MTC, it will be nice to only have to work about 3 nights a month instead of 3 nights a week.
This last week was nice and very relaxing. I made a list of a bunch of things I was going to get done and then failed to complete a great majority of them. That's fine by me though...it was good to just slack off for a few days.
Alex's twin Colin stayed with us from the 1st to the 6th, so he was here for a majority of my break. Alex still had to work during the days, so Colin and I hung out and went around the city and met up with Alex at night. We had a really good time, and it was funny to learn about Colin and Alex's differences (there are many).
By the way, it's January 8th and it's 67 degrees??
P.S. Sorry I didn't write for about a month, but I've hung out with all you guys since then, right?

Hey Nick,
We really miss your bright smiling face here in the midwest, but at least with new technology, we can still talk a lot. I was kind of getting worried that you were not going to post on your blog any longer. I have been checking like twice a day (earlier today included), to see if you had written anything. Glad to see you were able to get some color on your neutral walls as well as share some life with your visitors. Nice wall art; in other words. Things have been melting here as well. All the ice and snow we had in December is now 3/4 of the way gone. What is left is that dirty ugly stuff by the side of the roads. We are due for some more snow later this week to whiten things up a bit. If it has to be winter, it might as well be enjoyable to look at, right? Well I just finished my last IRS federal tax estimate for December and 2007! YEAH! Oh the bother of being a small business owner...at times...you feel like you needed some different classes somewhere along the way to get you by with what you have to figure out to do. Yes it is that confusing...lol! Talk about learn by the seat of your pants, but it has seemed to work so far. Well back to the business again. Have a great January and save some tickets for us this summer ok? I think March might be a bit too soon for us to make it out there. Take care, love ya, aunt karenk
