so now i know
what it is people do in the suburbs on a thursday at 10pm.
they apparently head to their nearest supermarket.
WHaaah?
They can't be commuting from a far, so I suspect the babies might be sleeping. Seriously, it was bizarre, but the stop and shop was packed last night. i picked up some basic staples for the rentals, since they were due to arrive at 3am. Granted, they showed up at 5am, right before I hit the showers. So I didn't get quite enough sleep. (I capped my morning with a trip to work via the LIRR. UGH.)
Tomorrow I'll tell you about "Drunk Girl" who is dating the head of M&A.
(no, really. somehow it's not fair, but i doubt they'll end up marrying.)
must play lotto tomorrow!
(in between runs to the laundry.)

WHO lives like this --> http://www.hccco.com/portfolio/livingroom1.html
Geesus. It's a picture from Lisa and Felix's portfolio. Can you imaging living in an APARTMENT that looks like that?
Actually, http://www.hccco.com/portfolio/kitchen1.html is even better (or worse, depending on perspective).
Good morning
I took a bit of NyQuil last night in lieu of a sleeping pill as I had none here. I was so hyped up from (finally) finishing the big project at work I couldn't sleep. I had gone out to LI to pick up the car, and only enjoyed the quiet of suburbia for an hour before I headed back out.
Where?
The mall.
I made irrational purchases. Well, I need new staples, but wanted more of a suit package. I have nice set of separates to build off of:
- black simple dressish knee length skirt
- brownish pants (need hemming)
- black friday pants (a bit of a sheen with black pinstripes)
- black top with white polka dots (so cute)
- a swooshy skirt
I'm too lazy to type.
Dude. I cannot believe that project is finally over.
modtones
i was in a fairly foulish mood until i started spending time with modtones.
my phone now:
- grunts like a whale when you call me
- plays pink's get your party started
- has a U2 song on file
my personal favorite - will wake me up to "Another One Bites The Dust" tomorrow morning.
Granted, the sound is metallic (there's nothing slight about it), but it's worth a giggle.
Hey - so it's the same cingular number - but now with verizon.
AND I know vmail works.
Course - I have no one's numbers now. Hmph.
Mike Wallace
I think that's how i felt a couple of weeks ago.
Irked and vocal.
Can't believe he got arrested.
I am devoid of creativity tonight.
Not sure why it just dawned on me to turn the a/c on.
It's humid.
Did everyone else see the black clouds that descended on NY today? It was dark at 2 in the afternoon. It looked like 6pm at night.
red lobster
er, was good.
allison and i hit the queen's special.
time to remove the mascara from my face.
so
today was interesting. for many reasons, dates being part. most of my 'focus' (a term the QA team uses affectionately) is on a blip of today's activities. apparently an email was sent to the femme in waiting...and no response. yet, as she waits for motherhood to arrive we've had opportunity to catch up on my planned vacation over the RNC. (they want me to work the days my newer boss will be on vacation).
i turn my attention to the positive feedback provided to the mer. how far out of your normal routine would you go out of your way?
would you write a letter to someone else's manager and stress the significance of my role?
or would you use the expression," fucking bloody hell" when providing feedback. (NO, really. i wrote those down.) Poor guy needed a regurgitation session yesterday when i just didn't have the time to do it. I'm on the phone all day, and all he wants to do is cross things off his list...which is skewed toward QA. Hallo, Lucy, this is not exactly the focus of our job. (it's to remember what banking heard last promised, among other things, and to keep folks on track to dates.)
other tidbits: dev mgr invited me to a client meeting.
i attended.
then i watched QA manager focus on low/trivial/mundane items on a poorly designed filter. i spent the bulk of today updating the GRAMMAR of the QA team, so the reports would read to an English speaking person. My changes however, cannot capture ill logic applied to decision points. I literally had to comb through closed items to revert to earlier status(ae?). for the record, the E. acknowledged the short signted perspective he took previously.
as if that saved me any time today.
Whatever.
(a word I don'treally care for, but hey, it's Tuesday. waht else can i do?)
I just need to finish the project.
It's history in the making, and unbelievable that there's a VP that has no ability to manager a team of quality assurance folks. Is that my job? (You know checking up after him, prompting planning for deliverables, etc.) Not sure...but....it makes me rethink the need for an MBA. Would I be reporting in to someone this clueless if I had a degree under my belt?
Do I want to spend money proving myself? or should i find an alternate means of making income?
