just say no

today i went shopping with kitty.  she lives in minnesota.  i live in new york.  oh technology!  we both needed to pick up a few items at CVS.  so we decided to coordinate and walk there together.  i know it seems odd, but it was quite fun.  cellphones coordinated, and our trip commenced.  all that was on my list was: cheese puffs.  what can i say i had a craving. 

inside the store, browsing the shelves full of shampoo and lotions i decide i also need shampoo.  $2.15 for a bottle of suave, i guess i'll splurge.  a sweet tooth overcomes me...add to cart, sour patch kids and a mini twix. checking out...oh rob pattison, add to cart life & style mag.  "a little bit of this, a little bit of that..." santana and michelle branch.  kitty asks "oh you can hear the music in here?" NOOOO it's the SAME SONG in NEW YORK!!! is there a master play list at ALL national chain CVS stores???? bizarre.  

all in all, a successful shopping trip with my bff.  eventho she is across the country, we can shop for frivolous items together at the local store.  good great grand.

upon arriving home, i realize i must have taken a subconscious bong hit before shopping.  empty contents of bag:  twix, sour patch kids, diet coke, cheese puffs....

don't do drugs.  (p.s. i didn't i just have the munchies i guess?)

my first day!!!!

so i made it through my first day of work at my new job! and i got offered a promotion already. well sort of. i went in early to meet with a manager, and it turned out he wanted to interview me for another position with the company. this other job just became available and would be more involved with the property management side of things. however, i love the position i was hired for! i am the receptionist at the leasing office. i get to field calls and interact with potential renters/tenants of our buildings. the other job i would be an assistant for one guy...not as much people interaction...sooo needless to say i want to stay put for now, however it was flattering to be considered for this other job too!

here are some pics of my new digs...there is a large tenant lounge area/ballroom that is in the building where i work. i can lunch here and hang out on breaks. there are tons of couches, chairs and a big screen tv- lets me catch up on my stories :)

so far so good!

I GOT A F*#@$-ing JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

the day has finally come!  i have a job.  aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i cannot believe it!  i'm so very very very excited.  this excited:

i will be the leasing office receptionist/office assistant for metro loft management.  they take historic buildings in the financial district and make them into high-end loft-style apartments.  i am thrilled to be working for this company.  the people seem very nice and the environment is young and energetic.  i went in today to fill out paperwork and take a drug screen.  as soon as the results are back i can start!  

this whole job-search experience has been a long, frustrating process and i am SO glad it is over!  i feel so lucky to have found a good company and a place where i can move up.  i'm thinking it would be great to become a leasing agent.  i would love to do apartment showings!  

so stay tuned for more about my new NEW YORK JOB!!!! :)

ellen, my new friend

i really would like to become friends with ellen degeneres.  i was watching her show, the ellen show, and realized we have a very similar sense of humor.  i think we would have a lot of fun as friends.  so my new life mission (besides finding a job in nyc) is to meet ellen and hang out.

my process is 3 fold:

1. email ellen daily

2.  post comments/jokes on her facebook

3.  come up with ways to be famous and or a talent to get on the show

this will definately require dedication.  i am prepared.  i am starting the patch (of the nicotine variety) on monday.  i am replacing smoking addiction with ellen addiction.  i will put all my energy into this project.  i'm very excited.

stay tuned.
