still afloat...

so, NYC didn't go down to the bottom of the ocean.
the hurricane wasn't really anything too crazy.
lots of rain, good amount of wind.
took out trees. flooded some basements. caused more panic than damage.

ended up going to work on Saturday.
it was dead.
like, dead dead. more action in a morgue.
Dave said that Derek and i could go home at like 7:30. our tables finished up and we left.
i made $30, he made $9.
took a cab home and spent time at the Donkey with Tony and Ant. MJ and Paul.
sat for like 5 hours and then headed upstairs to just sit back and wait for mayhem.

never really came.

trains re-opened this morning at 6am.
heard them doing test runs all night long.
had my window open since yesterday afternoon.
after all the rain passed, it was just really windy out. and the temp dropped.

it was amazing out.
it almost felt like October.
like, those last warm October days.

hung with the boys all day long.
we went and got a pie around sundown.
sat out on the roof and ate it.
rooftop pizza party FTW.

watched movies all day and night.

skyped for like 5 hours with Lisa.
yes, 5 full hours.
crazy.
we talk more on skype than in person.
in person we just end up watching a movie and she passes out. haha.

passed out at like 9am.
slept till 11:30 about, i was in and out.
got up and went for a walk cause it was 65 degrees and sunny out.
got a little warm while i was out.
got to the park and then stopped and grabbed food on the way back.
played tony in a game of Madden.

left for work just after 3.

work opened busy, and we stayed busy all night.
i didn't mind at all.
i was in a good mood and everything went well.
smooth, steady shift.
made $130.
i miss working the floor.
the bar has really been less money and problematic (that whole shit with Vanessa) i enjoy making drinks and talking to the regulars, but it's just not been worth it.
though i know that i'll work a busy day in the kitchen and get annoyed with how little everyone does, and then get pissed again.
it's just the cycle.
i just need to get out of Outback to break that cycle.

finished up.
ate a steak sandwich for free.
saw Jacky V there. she asked me if i could help her move a mattress and a dresser to her new place.
went and helped her do that. i had nothing else to do, and i haven't hung out or see her in a while.

why not.

went and did that.
wasn't too bad.
Tommy came and helped too. we got that shit up to her 3rd floor apartment (blegh) no problem.
sat and hung out.
ate cheese.
Sly made periogies. delicious. what a good Polish girl she is.

headed out of there at like 1:45.
Tommy dropped me off.
saw Paul downstairs for like 2 seconds.
came up here to shower and relax. prolly gonna go down there and hang out with him for a bit.

so New York still stands.
and so do i.
