The Fourth

I went to Pittsburgh for the 4th of July weekend. We spent 3 nights at Kenzie's mom's house. It was pretty fun. We got to see the old apartment, which strangly enough still had electricity. There was also a lot of mold in the fridge so hopefully I don't lose my security deposit over that, though the rental company, Halsband Properties, is not known for being nice. (I would never recommend them to anyone, though I would not actively speak out against them either).

It's nice being back in NoVA. You can really tell the difference between Pittsburgh's economy and the way things are here. The infrastructure in Pittsburgh is literally crumbling, there are almost no jobs, and the people there don't seem very happy. Quite the opposite here.

Being shifted around at work this week, though should have some stability in about 2 weeks, once everything gets started for my team... I'd rather start working during a dry spell and have time to learn things anyway.
