This week has been incredibly hot, and I have not been having it.
On Monday I woke up and discovered that I had a HUGE mosquito bite on my eye. It was red and swollen and my eye looked pretty bad. I was pretty sure that I'd be sent home from work, but I went in to check my email. As soon as my boss saw me, she told me to go home and take a Benadryl. Which is what I did. The Benadryl really knocked me out. In a way, having the day off was great because it let me finish my final paper for my class.
To top it off, it was insanley warm, and I felt gross. Me and the heat (plus humidity) do not go well together. Sadly, because of my eye, I missed an event at the culinary institute. We were supposed to learn to cook/grill and then get dinner. Ironically, the rest of my team didn't go. My other co-worker told me it was really cool though, and that the magazine spent a lot of money on the event so none of us showing up was in bad form. Schucks.
Tuesday and Wednesday were a humid, hot blur. I don't remember much.
On Thursday I had my interview at Harper's Bazaar. Let's hope this works out. The Hearst building is AMAZING though! The lobby is more like an atrium and the escalators to the elevator bank literally takes you up a wall of waterfalls. And, at the elevator bank you punch in the number floor you want and then it tells you which lift to use! There aren't any buttons in the lifts at all! AND, the office was on the 24th floor and I interviewed in a corner room with a goregeous view of Central Park.
Later that day the AT&T team had beer/margaritas as a welcome for our newest senior members of staff. It was fun, and I got to meet a lot of other people on the team.
Friday was a sucky day at work. In the sense that there was a lot of tedious work to do and it was taking forever. However, Rosanna, Fernando, and I went to an Irish pub for lunch where we had burgers. Our waiter had a strong Irish accent. And they had proper Irish food too! I ended up leaving the office at 6 that day, which is late for me.
Today, I am officially moved out of my old apartment. Now, my place of residence is on East 21st street. And, if I walk a block west my street turns into Grammercy Park North and I enter the most amazing square. The lobbies of the apartments in those buildings are goregeous, I wonder what their apartments look like.
