Things I’ll need after I move

Posted by Skrud at Monday, April 21st 2008 at 10:50am

As the big move looms closer, I’m slowly beginning to realize how different things are going to be and how many changes need to be made. Today, a representative from the moving company came by to look at the stuff I have so that they’ll know what’s needed come packing/moving day. The entire assessment took less than a minute, since I don’t have a lot of stuff.

These are things that I’ll probably pick up during a few IKEA runs once I’m in my new city:

  • A bed (right now I’ve just got a futon mattress on the floor)
  • A sofa for people to sit/sleep on when they come over (and for video-gaming)
  • A TV Stand
  • A dining/eating table plus chairs

And in the slightly longer term, things to invest in:

  • A really awesome mattress
  • A new TV (I’ve still got my old CRT that I bought when I was 15)
  • A stereo/sound system … though I supposed I can use my desktop PC in the meantime
  • Beer making kit, since I’ve decided to start making my own.

What kinds of things were you missing the first time you moved out on your own?

I Want To Work At Google

Posted by Skrud at Wednesday, September 27th 2006 at 10:52am

I’ve wanted to work at Google for a long time, but after reading Stevey’s latest post about working at Google, I’m that much more determined.

I’ve basically narrowed down my future options to the following, in order of preference:

  1. Google
  2. Microsoft
  3. Amazon
  4. Yahoo
  5. Apple
  6. Work at a start-up
  7. Graduate School
