Sunday 10am Caltrain to the city.

It might soon be over! Yesterday Darren and I saw two apartments that we were both pleased with and put the wheels in motion to get the second one we saw – a two bedroom two bath in Russian Hill, on the edge of North Beach. The other was a newly renovated place in SOMA that left one longing for a little more space. But on the other hand, it had a kitchen to die for. The reason we are waiting out for the slightly dated Russian Hill place is because of one major factor: the living room window looks out onto an absolutely breath-taking view of the bay. Alcatraz, fisherman’s’ wharf, it couldn't get more San Francisco! The kitchen’s a little dated and the outside smells like old people, but the view and the location make it easy to forget such things. Speaking of location, everybody and their mother would love to live in this area. The North Beach/Russian Hill area is teeming with people just like ourselves, just trying to have a good time in their post-college years. Almost as important for Darren is the variety of great Cafés – a must for any young writer. All fingers and toes are crossed that we can sign on this place on Monday. Just need the landlord Ming to come through.
As a side note: I’m on my way to the office. Luckily it’s ten in the morning, and I was able to get a great night’s sleep, but yes, it is Sunday. So funny, I told everyone that one of the great things about consulting is that we never work weekends; a vast improvement from the banker’s life. But, wouldn’t you know it, my first weekend and I’m heading into the office. Frankly I’m not too peeved or anything. Our team is heading in today so that we don’t have to pull multiple all-nighters this next week. Also, all signs point two a three-day weekend after the work on this case is done. Awesome!
