mmm i really do think friendlys ice cream can fix anything... unfortunately today i dove into the "i dont care what i eat" food -- a nice healthy balance of mcdonalds and friendlys for lunch...
this week has been rather long, and its not even over yet... at work ive been bombarded by my massive mailing thats due out by the end of the week... the whole mike this is very questionable and I have no idea… L… at home ive been bombarded with lots of mixed things... some good... but mostly not... so lets just say its been a long ass week so far...
so at work today... all my bosses are gone... thank you executive summit in SFO!! all thats really left in the office is IT careers... about 1/4 of the SP&E team (which im on)... the cute IT guy... (who is standing in the cube next to me at this very moment - FYI some computer dorks are really really really cute)... its nice... uncle leo's gone on vacation until the end of this week... my dads in SFO with the rest of the team... the office is nice and quite... i only wish we could play! i felt wicked bad yesterday... i killed a few trees...
so im doing this massive mailing to 1,000 contacts -- for it i have to create labels, print cover letters, insert my dads business card into each and every single brochure, put labels on the special envalopes, and match up envalopes and cover letters. so yesterday, everyones rushing around the office b/c lots of people are going to SFO for the summit... and i got caught up in what i was doing, and printed out 1,000 letters; they all had the right names, titles, companies, addresses, etc... but at the beginning of each letter it started off with, "Dear John," so i was fucked and had to print them all out again this morning. so allllllll day long i have been putting fucking labels on stupid envalopes, and keeping the corresponding letter to the label... not to mention including the sponsorship opportunities, entitlements & contract kit... the brochures will be here tomorrow... hopefully allong with the business cards... and then by friday the gold ASBPE stickers will be in so we can stick those on the back and send them allll out.
basically ive been preparining for this mailing for a good month and a half at least -- ugh and i felt like such a telemarketer sometimes, i hated it! but as i said before, and ill say it again, i think friendlys ice cream can fix anything
last night i did a movie night with trott... it was nice... i hadnt hung out with him for a whiiiiile, just mills and trott time... we watched swat and ate half a HUGE box of nerds... it was great, he made me feel better...
havent really seen much of anybody lately... i usually see sara, tex and tilley... The parents have really been cracking down on me lately... my dad complains about me going during the week b/c we have work early (because he feels as if he needs to be there an hour or so before everyone else), and he says when i come in late it wakes him up and "ruins" his sleep... in addition, working on the weekends has drastically cut down on my social as well as beach time, which i drastically need to change somehow...
i somehow ususally stop by CVS and visit the roommate, tex and tilley work out this way, so we go and do "power lunches" as tilley likes to put it... we ususally go to panera's, or this cute little diner called J&M diner -- if any of you like those little hole in the wall diners... go to this place, its great.
funny story... yesterday me and some of the other ladies in the office went out to lunch at this diner, we were all eating and having a good time and whatever. i only ended up eating 1/2 my sandwich... so i asked the guy to wrap it up, so he brings me back a paper bag that has the sandwich in it, but is rolled down more than half the way. i thought that was a little strange but didnt really think anything of it. when i get in the car, and go to put my bag of chips in the paper bag, i notice somethings written on the bag. i unroll it and look, only to find a guys name, his number, the name of the diner, and "he likes you!!" written in girls writing. now ive been to J&M plenty of times before, and its great so i keep going back, and so i guess now the people recognize me? haha i dont know, i just thought that was mad funny. when we got back to the office, the girls wanted me to call the guy... but i refused, i mean, how the hell do i know who this person is ya know?
now im totally not doing work... just sitting here chatting and bobbing my head to the rocky road to dublin... i really really really want to go to the warped tour this year, but i dont know anyone else thats going... i was trying to convince trott, but i dont know if hes gonna wanna go..i want to go to the 10 year anniversary concert -- where the DM's will be playing and i really want to see them live again so who knwos what will happen.

*last day at LTD2 : August 14th

it will be nice to go back! i believe hakim and i might take a trip out to umass sometime soon because the soccer boys are coming back, and we miss billman! of course we miss our esposa as well... but going out to amherst is different than going out to queens...
