Thus the weekend begins. The two-day respite from work will be the only days off work until end of April, as I am working 19 straight days, beginning next Monday.

I suppose I shall entertain the possibility of partying like a Rock Star this weekend. I may commence the weekend with a visit to Bailey's Taproom this evening.

Heinous, chaotic, and extremely busy flurry of activity at work earlier in the day = tough, uphill climb encountered during the ride ( Read more... )

Since I had significantly exceeded my weekly budget during the past week, I plan on having a low-key, cheap-ass weekend. Technically I am not broke, but I am inclined to put a huge vise around my vice spending during the next week. I want to stay disciplined in my budgeting, especially since I am saving up for a MoLoft in 5-7 years' time ( Read more... )

Although I am excited about tonight's post-work plans, I just remembered that I have a dental appointment at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. Consequently, I shall be partying like a rock star after work, then having an early curfew. How bitter sweet!

I can't wait to enjoy couple pints down at the Sneers bar Bailey's Taproom ("where everybody knows your ( Read more... )

A Tuesday evening beer gathering without deprivation is like a gay dance club without Madonna music....

Last night's weekly post-work gathering at Bailey's Taproom was plenty of fun. It's nice to see many peeps and socialize while consuming copious amounts of libation. Good times. It was so good to see new faces and a decent-sized crowd. I was ( Read more... )

Work today has been hectic and chaotic--not because of customer calls, but because I handled so many different types of tasks and assignments. From making immediate customer callbacks to updating spreadsheets, today was an adventure in multi-tasking. Consequently, my brain cells are frazzled and I can use a relaxing pint of brew...or two ( Read more... )

Yikes. I am so glad that the Working Week is already 20% over. Today has been sheer chaos, and the upcoming days appear to be more of the same. I have a dental appointment on Wednesday morning, and a monthly meeting with key customers on Thursday. This is going to be a busy-ass week ( Read more... )

Today's dilemma at work involves figuring out which spiffy restaurants in NYC that I want to visit while I am out there. Thanks to recommendations and reviews by well-traveled friends with impeccable tastes, such as quotamour and istar, as well as reading reviews in New York Times, The New Yorker, and other sources, I have some idea of where I would like to go.

With all the recent hoopla over my "honeymoon period" with Le Preaux de Meaux, I have realized that I am neglecting some other things that I enjoy in life. I feel that I have been reading less than I normally do, and I want to reclaim some of my "reading time" instead of being distracted with my new baby. I am contemplating looking into setting ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the release date of Duran Duran's new album, Red Carpet Massacre. Yay for rock stars!

And speaking of rock stars, I noticed that the contingent at Bailey's Taproom last night had enough rock stars to be a band in itself. I can imagine this now--Randall (of Railer) on vocals and guitars, almosteric on guitars, _devoid_ on bass, thedr9wningman on drums, deprivation and myself ( Read more... )
