New development at my old job…

…at the one (Thai) restaurant that I used to work at:

Two new globe lamps hang over the tables in the front windows, you can see from the street.

. . .

(The two old lamps had like a dried leaf-pattern paper wrapped around them in an upward circle for texture and atmosphere, but on the righthand one when you're looking in the paper had become unrolled in a strip and hung down from the lamp like a spiral, with a piece of tape stuck on there towards the outermost layer, as they presumably had tried to fix it once by taping the outermost layer to the next innermost, but they couldn’t get that to work, probably, and perhaps that taping even pulled more loops down and made the lamp even worse, perhaps.)

. . .

(Working close to where you live is great when you work there, but not so much when you quit and then you have to pass by a lot that place that you used to work.)
