I trudge up the third flight of stairs, winded by the time I reach the top. You
would swear I’d be fitter after living in the same apartment building for
years, but I’m not. Not even close.
I sweep a strand of hair from my face and start down the lengthy
hallway that leads to my apartment. There is a long, open balcony on one
side, and the wind is howling. Tugging my coat more firmly around myself,
I keep my eye on the prize, namely the second-to-last door at the end. The
icy wind feels like it is blowing right through me, and my purse feels like it
weighs a ton. I look down at the tan leather, grumbling to myself about how
I need to clean the thing out. I swear I’d keep the kitchen sink in it if I
could.

Finding my keys in my sea of stuff takes me a minute or two. There’s
half a granola bar – why didn’t I think of you earlier? – my wallet, my
sunglasses, a pen, Kleenex, a lipstick I thought was lost forever, headache
tablets, an almost empty pack of gum, a notebook, a half-filled bottle of
water, and then, squeezed in next to my makeup bag and a tube of
toothpaste, are my keys.

We just finished audits on a major company. Today was D-day to return
the files to our client, so we had to work late…again. It’s the third day in a

My stomach growls loudly. It started eating itself a good couple of
hours ago. My cheapskate boss wouldn’t order in, but even worse, he
wouldn’t let us get takeout, either. He said it would take up too much time.
Talk about being a slave driver. There must be laws against that, surely?
I push open the front door, hoping to be greeted with the aroma of home
cooking, but the apartment is dark. I groan. My roommate has been dating a
guy for over a year now.
It might even be longer than that. She spends more
and more time at his place lately. A part of me is waiting for her to tell me
she’s moving out. Don’t get me wrong, Tyler is a nice enough guy. The two
of them are so in love it makes me sick, but only because I’m so damned
jealous. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before I have to look for a new
roomie, which makes me a little sad, even though I’m happy for her. I am!
I’m also dreading it. Who can blame me?
Carmen and I have been living together for seven years, ever since we
started college together. She studied psychology, and I went into
accounting. Considering how chaotic I am, my parents couldn’t believe it,
but what can I say? I love crunching numbers. I love my job. My only wish
is to pay off my student loan already and actually live something of a life. It
