Lived with a flatmate (a good friend since high school) for two years a while back. Had to go back to parents when finishing my phd (well, I didn't, but Sydney prices by oneself when flatmate moves out is a Bad Idea). Dragged a bit between that and being able to start my new job... but now been living in a flat by myself (overseas!) for 8 months and counting. And not just going to be me here all the time either. :B
I've had flatmates in the past and that was a nice experience for me but I do ultimately prefer living on my own, even if my flatmates were really nice.
I had a choice between a housing allowance or a pre-furnished flat rent free in my contract and obviously I chose the rent free flat. I only need to pay utilities currently. The only downside is I have to have a cleaner come once a week which sounds like a good thing but it's not since she's not really good at her job and I have to prepare before she comes so she doesn't move things around I'd really her rather not touch. My boss insists she comes so I wonder if it's more that he wants a spy to make sure I'm not doing anything crazy in the flat since he's paying the rent after all.
My assistant woke up late and was supposed to open the store so i came in to an empty store (bc the other opener didnt have a key to get it) more than an hour after it was supposed to open.
sometimes my coworkers don't show up right away when the lab opens up but thankfully i am usually there well before opening time
not that it's a biggie in my case since we hardly have students in our first hour most days...but for a restaurant or store to leave a place unopened for that long like that..especially with posted hours and potential customers is just bad :(
not to mention it happened two days in a row. friday i had donuts and such because i at least had openers but it was way worse on my anxiety because i was alone dealing with a shitton of customers for some reason at five in the morning until my 5:30am person came in and we were just so busy that early for no reason other than for me to hate my life.
