thanks jules :)
thats what i needed in reaction to this (julie called and was like geez he makes me frustrated:)
anyway its a long way away...after hawaii im sure it wont seem so bad...
am i allowed to be frustrated?
dev and i were going to go to seattle for his bday (he was going to be there for 2 weeks and his bday is one of those weekends in october) and now, the cardinals will be in the playoffs around then, so he just cancelled his trip, is going home the weekend after hawaii and staying for a week (including his bday...) and then going to seattle straight from there for two weeks and wont be back till the second week of november.
he tells me this last night, and then is like so when are you comign to seattle now - and i was only going cause its his bday, and i dont want to be planning weekend trips just a month before the exam, and when i told him that he got mad that i wasnt coming - but he complains so much about travelling here and having to always pack for like 3 weeks, and that he is missing the first week of playoffs cause of hawaii - and now that im not going to seattle - when he changed the weekend!
im so frustrated, and i dont even want to get him anything for his bday. do i have to? he wont even be here for the week before and 3 weeks later? and he thinks birthdays are stupid anyway....
i thought writing this and venting would make me not so frustrated but it didnt really work....maybe i want a big bottle of that wine all to myself :)
i think blog this is the most efficient way...
taco bell is not fast food, its staple food - very different :)
wendys sounds good...maybe next week...
the severence thing will never happen - dont get your hopes up :)
replies to other blogs. . .
megan - have you read the notebook? did you like it? did you see the movie? i saw the movie and really liked it, so i think i might want to read the book
nush - your trip is in my calendar so i'll never have to ask again. and taco bell is fast food! if you want to meet for lunch sometime, there's a wendy's right by ameya's building. . .
and nush - you can't leave boa! how would you ever live without alex? and without lauren? and then you wouldn't be across the street from chirag anymore! hmm. . .i guess something like a year's pay could be worth it. . .
severance
that would be pretty sweet. a whole year's worth of salary . . . just in time for you to quite working for 2 months to just study for your test :)
but i wouldnt go! id just get paid!
i wouldnt go...i would just a severence package for having to find a new job :)
it prob wont happen....just a fun thought to think about
torals boyfriend got laid off when there was a merger in his company and he got something like an entire years salary to compensate, and he had already found a new job within a week :)
i may look in to his group and see if they are looking...it may be fun...
nevermind :)
after i read your message and posted mine . . . i realized that the title said "boston" meaning that's probably where you are being moved to :) oops :)
moving
if they ask you to move, where do you move to???
what if they move you to the middle of no where?! or . . . down south??!!!!!
boston....
they are moving the head of my group (to put it in perspective for at least julie: allens boss is larry, larrys boss is this guy keith) keith to boston, and his entire group....
we dont really know what that means for us, but allen is pretty confident the 7 of us wont have to move - but everyone else may have to...but if they ask you to move and you dont want to i think you get a pretty hefty severance package and then just have to look for a job....
i hope they ask me to move!! :)
(on a side note - i feel like metz in the way i spelled spent in my last blog....sorry!!!!)
fast food
ive still been craving it...taco bell doesnt count as fast food for me - i want mcdonalds or wendys...wendys has some tempting commercials on tv these days...or maybe they always did and now i just watch tv :)
my victoria secret order (with two shirts toral wanted) totals 249, and if you sepdn 250 you get 75 bucks off!! how annoying! the worst part is i have to buy something for like 10 or 15 just to get the 75 off....and i dont know how to narrow things down....
i think ill order it tonight and pay an extra 5 for 3 day delivery so it def comes by the time i go to hawaii.
books
nights in rodanthe by nicholas sparks. he's the guy that wrote the notebook. its not that good jessie borrowed it from one of her friends from the 'tard farm
hotel on sullivan street
looks like the anusha, jackie & julie hotel on sullivan is filling up rather quickly. gabe and natalia are coming to visit the weekend of oct 9th! :) jorge might come with them too. dude - i'm booked for the next month and a half or so! i love having people come visit. i just hate having to plan things so far in advance.
nush - is this still the weekend you're in hawaii? for some reason, i'm incapable of remembering the dates of your trip.
i love wendy's
just had an awesome lunch. i re-discovered a wendy's that's really close to our building (on 47th & 6th ave), so i went there with matt and grant. i had chicken nuggets and a baked potato - all for just $2.69 (apparently, the "dollar menu" is a little more than a dollar in midtown). so we grabbed food, then went to this outdoor dining patio and ate while a live band played salsa and a bunch of people were dancing. it was so much fun! now i wanna go salsa dancing, too. . .
nush - i'm so glad you liked the pilates class! really, it's all about the instructor. i'm really looking forward to doing it again today.
meg - what are you reading?
and just to keep you guys updated: i'm feeling a lot better now than i did this morn. my throat only hurts a tiny bit. hopefully i'll feel like new after 8 hrs of sleep tonight :)
avenue q
i saw signs for it!
i need to visit nyc more often :(
i can't wait to quit the second job . . .
gay men
i love them.
the pilates instructor was gay - and amazing!! and just like kieron :) he teaches there wed and fri at 1215 (there is 52nd and broadway - i love working midtown with all these gym options!!)
jules is right - hugh jackman isnt in it anymore :( it was the boy from oz. on the closing night him and matt damon (who was sitting front row) gave barbara walters (also in the front row, not with matt) a lap dance :) she was quoted saying, who ever said dreams dont come true...
i read that in one of the old people magazines in our apt :) fyi - our apt is like a good doctors office - all old magazines, but good in the sense that its all girly fun stuff, not crap you find in doctors offices....
avenue q won the best musical award this year and i have been dying to see it. it is a puppet show :)
im eating leftover chicken teriyaki from what i made the other night - its good!
wasting time
so, in 45 minutes i need to start doing stuff again. until that time, i'm on my own. i think . . . i just don't want to think. i have a mediocre book that i'm thinking of just chilling out and reading. actually, i should go find flu first . . . then chill out. maybe go to the library to read. ok, that's my new plan. time to find flu :)
it's only wednesday
meg - you still have 2 whole days to clean your apt before we get there. you have no excuses for having a messy apt!
i haven't seen the play with hugh jackman. i heard that he wasn't going to be in it for much longer, although i could be making this up.
arghhhh - i don't want to get sick! i'm going to take extra good care of myself for the next couple of days.
last night was all right. we ended up going to suite 16 instead. when we go to lotus, the door man said we were on the reduced list, not on the comp list. i wasn't going to pay $10 cover to get into the club - i don't care how great it's supposed to be on tues nights. so we walked over to suite 16 which is really close. jackie's friend from school, josh, was supposed to be promoting there. only problem was, josh wasnt' there yet and the doorman was a dick and wouldn't let us in for free, either. he said he'd give us 'reduced' admission, which meant we got to pay $15 instead of $20. so jackie and i went to the bar two doors down to have a beer and wait for josh to get there. we ended up having like 3 beers, making friends with the nice argentinian bartender, and taking a couple of shots. (making friends with the bartender meant we only had to pay for 2 of our beers, everything else was complimentary).
so then josh and his friend, anthony got there and we went to suite 16. we were in there for like 45 mins. by that time it was almost 2am and jacks and i had set our curfew at 1:30. anthony is this guy that jackie keeps telling me is really hot. i wasn't so excited with him, though. i mean, he's cute, but i guess i just got this vibe that he thinks he's the shit, and i don't like that. anyways, i was home and in bed by like 2:15. not a bad night. didn't spend too much money on cabs or antyhing since i love my new neighborhood :)
meg - good luck with your experiment! nush- hope you're enjoying pilates. if i dont feel like shit, i'm doing my most favorite pilates and step aerobics classes today :)
it took me a while but i get here
i decided i didn't need to be here early this morning. i messed up stuff last night and was frustrated - so instead, i scheduled breakfast with jessie this morning at 8:30. last night was the first time we were both awake in the same place since saturday morning. we watched mean girls together - i didn't really like it. now, i'm getting ready to do the experiment again. i feel tired, even though i've gotten enough sleep lately. i just need a break! (hope no one was planning on getting up too too early on saturday)
no getting sick.
i am turning 23 :) i'm the baby of the group!
what is avenue q? and have you guys seen or thought of seeing the play hugh jackman is in?! i really want to see it - i have no idea what it's about but i love him :)
just to give you a heads up - the apartment may be messy. it's at it's all time messiest right now, so potentially i could get motivated tonight - but if i decide i'm tired and don't want to - i'm not going to :) neither jessie nor i has been home and relaxed a whole lot in the last week, and the apartment is starting to reflect that.
ok, that's it. for now.
this weekend
is coming up so soon :) yay. megan are you turning 24? or 23?
i think i'm getting sick too.. actually katy is out sick today so maybe we all got sick from being there :) jules- how was lotus? did you guys get a bottle, etc?
i hope we are all feeling good again by friday :)
i'll be in philly too for that saturday- it's a big religious day for us. but i'll be around the rest of the weekend :)
no getting sick!!!
thats exciting about your brother :) ill be in philly i think that sat, and that may be the weekend my cousin is here too...we shall see...he cancelled on me last min last year when he was supposed to come...
i think im gonna go to pilates at 1215 today. then after work dev and i are going to dinner and ill stay over at his place.
i forgot to measure myself last night :( i think i may call them and ask what size they think i would be....
hello ladies
nush, i was NOT sleeping at 9:24. i'll have you know i woke up at 9:15 this morn ;) i'm not feeling so well. and no, it's not cause i had too much fun last night. i didn't drink too much and didn't stay out too late. my throat just feels really icky. i can't get sick for this weekend! meg, will ryan think i'm hot even if i'm sneezing all over him???
did i tell you guys my bro and his girlfriend are coming to visit?? they called me yesterday to inform me that they already bought tickets. they'll be here from oct 15-18, so if any of you are around, feel free to join us for a fun weekend :)
ok, time to do some work. i can't get sick, i can't get sick, i can't get sick, i can't get sick.
think my body is punishing me for all the alcohol and sleep deprivation i put it through?
ave q
ok :) let me talk to dev tonight when i have dinner with him. i started writing an email telling him we were going that day but i think its better to just ask him if he wants to come in person, then we can buy tickets tomorrow :)
if that doesnt work for him, does oct 19 work?
this is exciting!!!!! i cant wait!!!! so many fun things happening...
jules - remind me to grab raynas tape from the living room so we can all watch it this weekend
good morning
hi!! so sorry that i disappeared yesterday :) i was a little busy. things are good here.. julie and i went to our co-workers place to watch her brother and sister play poker on tv.. and her bro and sis were there! her sister ended up winning the tournament and getting $2million! crazy :) it was fun.. and she has a very cute apt.
nush- lets do oct 13th :)
