uhm lemme ax my soupervaysoh...(heard all day long in the office)
If I am ever in a position to hire people again I am going to demand that they never, ever, ever say ax, unless it involves the tool for some (scary) reason. So life in my midtown office goes on at a very strange pace. I basically sit in the overheated pit and process crap and monitor the minions all day long and think about not smoking. Working sure can be boring, I forgot all about that since I really liked my previous jobs but this is horrid. I am getting increasingly desperate to get another one. This was more like a necessity, a stepping stone to tidy me over, but now I am afraid I may get stuck. My boss wants me to stay and as much as I adore him, I think not. But on the other hand I would get health insurance and my retirement fund back on track. AAARRGGHH.
Strange things are happening in my new life. Twice in 2 weeks I have seen women lying prone on the subway platform. I think the first one fell from the stairs and while some people appeared to be trying to help her I spotted a guy going through her purse (!) and this morning another woman was just lying on the floor, looking kind of bored while a cop stood guard. Very odd. It is cold so I have been taking a crosstown bus and then the C train which appears to be not running anymore since some bum decided to warm it up a little and ended up burning some switch thingie down and it may take months to repair! I sure hope it warms up a little so that I can start walking again. I enjoy my walk, especially going home walking up Madison Avenue watching all the fancy people dash to make last minute emergency purchases at designer stores. A world apart from my dreary life. Not drinking was hard at poker, especially since it was my bday which is always a great occasion for oblivion. But I got through it and won $40 and the boyz brought me cake and candles (and a bottle of vodka!) and sang for me. I was practically moved to tears. Now I am fat, old, ugly and broke, wonder what is next on the list....
