let it be

me & elle
hey yall

click on the ads on this page...i've made $16 so far from it & evidently making $26,000 in Atlanta is equivalent to making $60,000 in Manhattan (ahem Erica...)

well, i guess saying i've had another exciting week is getting old at this point, so i will just jump right into my latest escapades. last week went fairly smoothly until friday, when we got (what i truly believe to be our last) snowstorm. we had already decided to ditch work for the first time ever late thursday night, because the flights to baltimore for the whole evening had been canceled, & i knew i was going to have issues the following evening. fortunately, my supervisor jared didn't go into work either, so i wasn't needed. unfortunately, my 7:30pm flight was canceled at 9am on friday morning. i managed to get a refund for that flight & got on a bus at 1:30pm. it ended up saving us money, and i got home early too!

i was heading home to see my family and to celebrate my younger niece Elle's Baby Dedication. it was relaxing & great to spend time with everyone.
i was wondering when our family got so big...puppies and babies everywhere

i love my mommy & puppy

flying back was surprisingly easy...granted, in large part due to my dad paying for me to take a taxi from Laguardia (in queens) back to manhattan. my friend jen came down from boston to visit, and was there when i got back to my apartment...she stayed with us through wednesday morning. i was off work on monday, & the fact that she was still there on tuesday made it like a 5-day weekend. i was very very tired by wednesday.

one of the places we went to was STRAND, a famous bookstore near union square that boasts of shelving 18 miles of books, and for cheap. I bought insomnia, a 704-page stephen king novel - for $3.99. i had started the novel on vacation this summer, but didn't finish before it was due back at the library.

we also went to an awesome cheesesteak joint, EXACTLY at the right time in my life. it might be the favorite food i've had so far in nyc.
in other news, i've had another exciting development at sony. the "senior coordinator for the executive vice president/general manager" went on a three-day vacation, and i am currently in the midst of covering for her. i'm basically only responsible for keeping track of where he is and taking care of all the people that call him. today (my first day of it) was very stressful, but i'm making a good impression on him. jared made it really clear to me that my impression on him could go a long way in either direction...i'm glad to have the opportunity & hope i don't mess it up!
