Some Thoughts On My New Room

ryanreactsI definitely preferred the layout of the bathroom in my old place. The toilet was in its own tiny room. In the new place, the toilet & shower share a room, and then right outside that room is another smaller room with a sink & mirror on one side and "closet" space on the other. Fairly typical hotel room setup. Which is fine, even if I did prefer the old one. My new bathroom sink is better, though. It doesn't seem to leak at all.
New room has better furniture! Instead of one three-drawer dresser with a broken bottom drawer, I now have a much taller dresser with four drawers AND some space at the bottom (which I'm using for shoes). Which is next to a wardrobe that is half hanging space and half shelves. I fucking love that.
I also preferred the laundry room at my old building, because it was INSIDE. Heh. Oh well.
Some sort of chair would be great, since right now there is nowhere to sit down other than the beds. I'd love a spinny rolly office chair (although a rolly chair on this floor might not be the best idea, actually), but a beanbag chair would be great too. Literally anything would be better than literally nothing. I'll figure it out. Eventually. It is important, but not a top priority.
Some sort of chair will need some sort of table. Just something small. I mainly need it to hold my laptop so that I can watch stuff while I'm sitting in the chair.
Definitely need two bath mats and at least two rugs.
Really, really, really need a mini fridge and a microwave. And an electric kettle. And tea. And stuff for tea.
Now that I'm much farther away from the EDR and much closer to The Inn, I should find out if I'm allowed to buy food from The Inn when I'm not working. (I'm pretty sure we are allowed to, just not totally clear on what the process is. I'm guessing I would have to order my food at the bar?)
Speaking of food, it's 4:59 AM, so I might walk down to the EDR for breakfast. The first shuttle of the day won't come to this building until almost 7:00, and I'm very hungry now because I slept through dinner.
