New bank account, new credit card and a new bed!

Great morning at LIC, I always enjoy the HBX weekly status meeting. Tried to meet with a few others but everyone was behind closed doors so I headed back to the office. Thankfully my pay stub was on my desk, that was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to finally open a U.S. bank account. Off to Citibank I go!

When I got back to work I had a surprise in my inbox ... Corporate Living Inc. caved and FINALLY bought a new bed for my apartment. So excited to have a good night sleep, the first one since I moved here.

Send and receive ...

Hmmm - that didn't last long, next email is from Calgary to ask if it would be ok if I moved to the 6th floor on November 18. Seriously?? My response, you ask? "Sure, but the bed is coming with me". I thought it was kind of funny ... they however did not. It what I believe was a deadpan tone via email they wrote me back to assure me that the bed in the new suite is better than the one I currently have.

While I was on a roll I decided to call American Express and get them to complete a global transfer of my Canadian account to help me qualify for credit here. Done and done. My card will arrive in 3 business days ...

Time to shut down, day is done. It was raining so I decided to take the subway home. Stopped to watch the dancers doing there 'thang' ... very cool.

Better quit while i'm ahead ... off to bed ... Can't wait!
