shana tovah to my fellow hebs! may you be inscribed in the book of life for a good year. yesterday my sister and i went to services with one of her friends and the friend's hubs - first we went out for breakfast because we could - i thought the rabbi's sermon ran a little long and could've used a tch more editing, but overall services there are ( Read more... )

so it's been a week. on monday i lost my job, by which i mean my position was eliminated. i guess the firm had a bad year, because they eliminated a lot of positions, including the me in the westborough office (and one of the other admins there), both marketing people in boston, and one of the tax partners. O.O and another partner, i think in ( Read more... )

today i met my sister in the city for brunch, and there was a parade! it was for a puerto rican festival. ( surprise! )

What I just finished reading:
blackout, which could've used some editing. there are a lot of places where connie willis takes four pages to detail every single movement and every single thought of one of the characters, even tho the entire thing could be condensed into like two or three paragraphs. also there are a lot of instances where someone ( Read more... )

oh my flist, today was a monday. by which i mean i lost my security badge for work between a. walking out of the building to eat lunch outside, and b. walking back in after my lunch hour was over. >.< this is only the second time i've lost it, altho the first one i lost somewhere in the office. this one i think just fell off me somewhere outside ( Read more... )

oh my flist, i saw the worst movie last night. (midnight movies at the indie theater near my sister's house.) i don't know what i was expecting but whatever it was, it's not what i got. it's called liquid sky, it was made in new york in 1982, and it's about tiny invisible aliens who come to earth because they feed off the high people get from ( Read more... )

a couple nights ago i made a quiche and my bathroom still smells a little bit like sauteed onions. (it's off the kitchen and the door is right next to the stove.) i'm not complaining, but it's kind of weird to be washing your face and smelling onions on the (clean! washed! tumble-dried with a dryer sheet!) washcloth ( Read more... )

happy mother's day to the mothers on the flist! you're a pretty fabulous bunch of people and i hope your kids know it.

work is work and i'm either crazy busy and need a minion or i don't have quiet enough to do. and i keep waking up half an hour or an hour early every morning - for no reason! - which is super frustrating and a little discombobulating. but i really do need a minion at work. managing the very special partner's expenses and travel is probably a ( Read more... )
