Well, it seems as if Leonard will move out at the end of the month, leaving the place to Randy and me when he’s gone.

I take it that this means that Randy will quickly exit the “bitch room”.

Maybe that means I get an office back, seeing as Randy has a desk and such to use in his bedroom. Of course, we’ll have to swap the desks, seeing as Leonard has my desk in his bedroom right now. Swapping desks would return all my old bedroom furniture to one bedroom, which would be nice in a decorating manner. It would actually give me an honest-to-goodness guest bedroom as well. Mind you, I really would use it as an office, but still.

With Leonard moving, I’m very strongly considering cutting off my home phone and switching from DSL to cable. I’d hoped that the AT&T Wireless-Cingular merger was going to pay dividends in bundling and lower my cell phone bill, but it won’t—at least not what the costs of dropping my home line and DSL and gaining cable modem access would be.

The only thing that would suck is that I’m not 100% sure that home-to-mobile line portability works for folks like me, who already have established cellular service and are dropping their home lines. I get the feeling that BellSouth’s customer service representatives would send me down a gauntlet of “we don’t want to lose you!” sales pitches that would take a good hour to move through. I think my answer’s going to be, “Unless you can make my DSL service stop sucking, suck it!” Connectivity right now is still as crap as it’s been since the beginning of December, long technical support call notwithstanding.

Welcome to another season of life, one where a good friend who’s been a good friend for some time moves on, and the ripples echo all throughout life…
