work anniversary
Last week, I celebrated my second anniversary at my work. The company I work for sent some flowers to my house. Soo pretty! :D I wished they sent it over to my office instead, though. Just to have something pretty on my desk. But, I'm not gonna be picky since they didn't need to give me anything at all :) My manager took me out to lunch. I asked some of my favorite people to join me and we headed to a nearby Indian restaurant. I ♥ Indian food! :D It was so much fun! I take any chance to be away from my desk :P donut holes are yummy
My friend and I were craving Dunkin Donuts munchkins so we hopped into her car and tried to navigate our way to the nearest one, which is quite a feat when the city streets are almost all one-way streets.When we got back to her parking lot, I noticed this car parked in front of hers. Totally tacky but gave us a laugh, nevertheless.  On a side note, I'm getting tired of this layout so I'm working on a new food-inspired one :) I'm hoping the transition will be smoother than the last one! March Madness
Mem: I am very disappointed in Barack's choices.That's Mem being fake upset that his decision to copy the President's bracket for the office pool didn't turn out so well. Yes, March Madness is in full bloom and that's all people are talking about at the office! Most of the guys are hardcore about the pool. Funny thing is, one of the top point gainers in the pool is Ro, who does not know any of the teams at all! :) She only picked the states she'd been to or states she thought were pretty! Hahaha! :D The boys are a little bitter... :P Labels: fun, March Madness, work extra work
One of my coworkers has a habit of doing "extra" work in various shows and movies filmed in the area. Last year he was in Baltimore to play a Baltimore City police officer in HBO's The Wire.Apparently, this week he'll be in Washington, DC playing a "DC Metro Bomb Special Police Officer" in a new yet-to-be-released CBS pilot, Washington Fields. Fun times. :) An old friend from college is also trying to get some extra work for Sarah Jessica Parker's new HBO show, The Washingtonienne, which I believe will be set in DC, but will be shot in the Baltimore area. If I could do extra work, I'd wanna be an extra in Ugly Betty. It'd be cool to play an over-the-top background MODE-y. Or a random Queens person. Plus, I like going to NYC so it'll be a good excuse! :D David & Goliath SALE!
EDIT: Just checked today and the sale is now extended to hats, shoes, and various accessories as well! All are at least 50% off! Enjoy! My friend just told me that David & Goliath is having a clearance sale. The shirts are down to $7.95, which is a pretty penny compared to their normal prices. I really should be doing work @ work... Anyway, they're constantly talking about it hoping that it'll entice me to watch it. No such luck! :P So, when they started talking about it again, I laughed and told them that they were nerds: Me: You guys are such nerds! Mem: We're cool nerds! Eric: Yeah! We're “cool American Idol nerds.” Me: Ha! Let's drop the “cool” and you're set! me and Anderson Cooper at work
 My coworker recently visited Iceland by way of JFK airport. Apparently, while sitting around at JFK, she saw these and thought of me. She tried to get a handful of the bookmarks but the lady at the counter gave her the stink eye, so she was only able to escape with 2! Hahahaha.Her boyfriend calls us "Anderson groupies." I'm actually not a groupie, but he is one of my favorite CNN anchors :) He is now taped to the corner of my monitor at work. Hopefully, he will help motivate me to actually do work :P Funny enough, someone was selling them on eBay for $5! Not sure if the FREE bookmark is worth quite that much, but I'm sure an Anderson Cooper fanboy/fangirl out there is slobbering all over these! online dating
At lunch earlier this week, my friend, Mica, who met his current girlfriend on eHarmony, told me about his coworker, Jay, who has done the same in hopes of meeting a girl. Apparently, Jay was not happy because he still hasn't had any hits or responses to his profile.So, he decided to come to Mica for advice. Funny thing is the coworker decided to post pictures of himself drinking and acting up on his profile and had frat boy-type verbage all over his profile. Oh, Jay, maybe that's why you're not getting any serious hits? Labels: friends, whatever, work go home!
There should be an office law that states that if a person has no work to do then it is okay for her/him to head home. LOL.
he's just not that into you
Seems they're filming "He's Just Not that Into You" with Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Justin Long, etc. down the street. My co-worker just told me that they changed some of the exterior of one of my fave lunch places to prep for the filming. Awesomeness!
bathroom breaks
I work in the second floor of a Victorian mansion set in the city's historical district. I love the architecture and the open-ness of our work area! One thing that scares me is the bathroom on our floor. Sometimes there are surprises waiting/floating... LOL. Boys are so dirty! =P
whoa!
Wow! Seven months since my last post. That's crazy! I've been busy working at "paperie" but I now have a "real" job as a graphic/web designer for an investment-ish company. Yay! I started in June and I like it so far. The people are definitely great and the atmosphere is friendly. I'm still getting used to being a new person. Since I am younger than mostly everyone here, it's a bit hard to fit in, but I'm not gonna give up. I gotta get back into the swing of things -- Queen Bee-style! ^_^
work wanted...thanks!
Since getting out of school, I never really realized how difficult it would be to find a job in the "real world." I should've gone into medicine like I originally wanted. I probably would be working right now. Not so much available in the job pool in terms of entry-level positions. I was lucky enough to get interviewed by two places. The first place, I'll call it "Paperie" and the second place, I'll call "The Institute." Paperie is set in a revitalized neighborhood in the city. They sell high-class stationery, cards, journals, etc. and do custom invites, cards, etc. I interviewed with the owner, who said she liked me and was going to call me back. She never did, so I kinda just shrugged it off since I wasn't sure if it was the place for me. The Institute was a quite an experience: I interviewed with them twice which culminated in a design test. Unfortunately, after 2 hours, I was only able to finish 8 pages of the booklet.Seems that it would take about 2 weeks before I find out if The Institute will pick me over the other 2 candidates. On the other hand, after a month, I suddenly received a message from Paperie asking me if I still wanted the position. This is where I'm confused. I'd rather work for The Institute, but I don't wanna turn down Paperie in case The Institute turns me down... Labels: work |
