At 4PM today, some guys are supposed to come over and take all my office supplies and relocated them uptown. I don't know why they're doing this before the day is officially over, or why they're doing this on a Thursday. I suppose this will give me the excuse to leave work early. That will be nice, one last little perk before I have to fall in lock-step with the rest of my coworkers.

So ends my 6-year love affair with the Financial District. I began in August 2000 in WTC building 7, and now I'm next door at 3 world Financial Center. Of course there was that brief respite where I was working from home (January 2002-February 2006) but my base of operations was still here officially.

I'll miss this part of town, somehow I don't think Lexington and 52nd Street is gonna be as colorful a location. My coworkers assure me there is 'great shopping' around there, but there won't be a Century 21, which has pretty much been my only benchmark for shopping all this time. Is there a Conway up there? I hope so, you gotta admit stuff is cheap there. I've bought so much underwear there I'm beginning to think "Irregular" is a designer brand.

Maybe it won't be so bad, a few of my friends (not to mention my girlfriend) work around there, so I won't feel as isolated as it can west of West St. Plus, when my dad is in town he usually stays in midtown, so it'll be easier to see him. I'm sure there's a lot of other wonderful things about working in midtown. Offhand I can't think of what they are but I'm sure there must be something.
