We're in a new neighborhood. It's almost the old neighborhood. Just a few blocks away. A four minute walk to our old place. But we're up the hill now, and on the more fashionable (I suppose) side of the panhandle.I dig it. We still get to see all the same folks. We're closer to the restaurants on Haight Street. It's nice.
But I'm not so happy with my coffeeshop situation...
The closest cafe has great coffee, free WiFi, chill music, and a nice lounging area. But nearly every time I go in there someone is yapping on a cell phone. Yeah, I mean, okay, I'm guilty. I'm a somewhat reluctant cell phone owner. (It was handy when we were couch surfing to have s phone number all our own.) But I think you have to practice a little cell phone etiquette. I'll step outside to talk. I'll turn it off so it doesn't ring. The coffee shop is no place to be yapping.
It's a more business-oriented crowd at the new place. And I think businessfolk tend to have less compunction about talking on cell phones. I think they find it less bothersome because they're more accustomed to it. (Not judging, just stating.) But it gets on my nerves.
Maybe it would do me good to take a four-minute walk in the morning.
