Goodbye to Sockshop, Goodbye to Laptop

This Sunday marked my final day of employment at the Santa Cruz Sockshop & Shoe Company, a bittersweet occasion. Since a substantial group of us are leaving this month, Sockshop employees gathered at the roller rink for a wobbly goodbye. I even managed to have a good time pulling myself around the railing, despite my vow not to participate in any activity requiring any kind of balance.

In less sweet and more bitter news, sometime after the roller rink party, my house was broken into and my laptop was stolen. Not incredibly shocking, since my house is in a pretty sketchy part of town, but its still strange that it was taken less than a week before I was planning on moving out. The timing is pretty frustrating because now that I'm no longer working at Sockshop I was hoping to work more hours as the Social Media Coordinator for Barber Insurance, which obviously requires quite a bit of computering.  Also quite creepy, considering one of my housemates was actually asleep in the house when it was broken into. Hopefully insurance things will work out soon enough, though, and I'll be able to replace it in time for my trip! Wish me luck!
