The big move

Today, I watched as a pair of men scratched the Xtra sign off its old building. It was kind of a morose moment, and not just because I had, only moments before, walked under their ladder, thus dooming myself to bad luck.

Yes, it’s only a little office move, and Xtra is moving only a little way to a BIGGER office, and the only real downside here is that I’ll now have to walk an extra five blocks to pick up my paycheque (five more minutes of walking?! YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS!). Still, seeing Xtra move its offices out of the building is kind of a sad moment.

So long, super-swank office building in the heart of the gay village. I’ll miss you and your ease of access simple, gay charm.
