So, I walked to the metro at Metro Center and hopped on the train. Excited to be on my way to dy 3 at the new job. I happened to look up as we pulled in to Federal Center SW. Excellent! I needed to be going to Ballston!
I have done this before. Usually I accidentally get on the Blue Line and end up at Arlington Cemetary before I realize it. Then I get off and pretend I meant to go to the cemetrary with a suit and briefcase before switching trains.

Moving is a pain. But it does happen to be tied to a joyous event- the purchase of our new home. We are loving our new digs. We just can’t wait until we have these boxes empty.
I have also started a new job. Unfortunately, I left my government job because of a psycho manager. Fortunately, my departure prompted hers. I should share some of my stories about her. They would make great case studies in how not to manage.
My new job presents me some pretty nice opportunities. I will be able to get my project manager certification and potentially travel to some interesting places. Hopefully, that will give me some interesting topics for the blog. I am getting tired of talking about the Dumont.

According to the dc.gov real property tax web page, all property tax and BID tax has been paid to DC for both 401 and 425 Mass Ave by Broadway as of today (Sunday, Nov. 16th). There still are no individual tax IDs for units nor has the use code or tax class changed.
What does this mean? Something? Nothing? Will we ever know?

There is something amusing about AC/DC and the G20 both being in Penn Quarter tonight a block apart. When two opposite worlds collide like this, there is potential for some interesting anecdotes. Of course, the neighborhood will not be a place to try to find parking or drive in at all tonight.
I want to see AC/DC.
She was a sex machine.
She kept her motor clean.
She was the best damn woman,
that I’d ever seen.

We are moving into the Yale at 437 New York Ave. NW. We are pretty excited about our move to the Yale. I thought I would feature a few photos of our building and new condo. It is pretty exciting to get to start with a blank slate. In the future we will add photos to show what we do with all of these white walls. (Ok- so I had some technical difficulties. I will add more photos in a separate post soon.)

One of Dumont’s Preferred Lenders contacted us to see if we had information on what was happening with the Dumont. They have not had any communication with anyone on the project.
Contract holders are waiting for information that was supposed to come to them around November 10. This is just one more sign that that may not be good news.

So, we go to Safeway at 5 & L NW quite often since we are happy it is in the neighborhood. However, I wanted to point out that we have had 3 instances where we were overcharged. The overcharges vary from .30 to $2.00. That can add up overtime.
So, be aware of what things should cost and check it out before you leave the store. So far they have been pretty good about settling the difference.
Has anyone else had overcharge issues they have caught?
