Office-Size Envy
Okay, so my office is cluttered and packed with materials, but it makes complete sense now why! My peer here has a private office twice the size of mine! And he has two computers. Color me a wee bit jealous!
Talking Appliances
There are unexpected noises in my apartment. The first day I was here, I hear colorful birdsong. I even blogged about it. I'm so glad I didn't ask anyone about the wonderful, musical birdsong, because it's my flipping wall clock chime! lol. Yep, on every hour, beautiful, harmoniously melodic birds ring the hour for me!
Another talking appliance is my refrigerator. If you leave the door ajar, which I did one evening without realizing, it elicits a little beep noise, like the backing of a truck. Isn't that cool? At first I was sort of surprised by it, then once I located the source of the beep, I was impressed by this little convenience!
