Bittersweet

Ah, today is my last day in my NYC office. (I'm technically not moving for another couple of weeks, but given my travel schedule, today was the day that I promised to pack up my office and move my stuff out so that the next person can move in.)

I have managed to cram everything I think I'll need in my new office in California into one box. One rather heavy box, but one box nonetheless.

I also just turned in my old laptop and Blackberry. (Have to admit that I'm kind of excited about being sans Blackberry for a while -- there is definitely such a thing as being TOO accessible.)

A quick list of what I will miss not being in the Broadway office any longer:

-- The chance to witness some of the crazy stunts that Letterman pulls off on 53rd Street (the Ed Sullivan theatre is right across the street; remember when he drops turkeys from the top of the building at T-giving etc? Those are the fun things you can stumble upon on a random afternoon.)

-- The chance to physically run smack into P Diddy yet again on the street

-- Popping in on Rupert at the Hello Deli

-- New England clam chowder from The Daily Soup (even on warm days)

-- Friday's pasta special from Cafe Metro (surprisingly yummy, especially with Tuscan meatballs)

-- Being mistaken as "someone" by aggressive paparazzi outside the Letterman stage entrance

-- Always being able to hail a cab at the corner of Broadway and 53rd within about five and a half seconds

-- And, of course, all of my great co-workers.... (who better come and visit me in CA!)
