I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate when people where Bluetooth headsets when they’re not on the phone. Especially when they’re on the subway on the phone doesn’t even work. That’s the worst.

Office buzzword of the day:
“Out of pocket” - Not available, for whatever reason.
Unfortunately, we can’t schedule the project kickoff for Monday; Joe is out of pocket for the beginning of the week.
Sorry, I’m out of pocket for the afternoon. Can we schedule an off-line to go over those action items?

I cracked. I did the thing I never said I would do. I got a Blackberry. Let’s see how this works out…
Am loving being able to type on a full keyboard though…hmm…

Saturday night was the first night in a looooooong time that I was up until 5AM. And now I remember why I don’t do it that often. I was a complete waste of life ysterday. Not even hung over, just in bed and lying still all day. Actually…wasn’t that bad a day…
Also…if you haven’t seen Juno yet, it’s a must.
This ain’t no etch-a-sketch. That’s...

Very sad…am currently in the office on a Saturday because I lost 6 months worth of work on Friday through no fault of my own.
Need some way to make up for this through the rest of the weekend…

What do cab drivers do when they have to go to the bathroom? And, on that note, what about the guys in newsstands, the hot dog trucks, coffee carts, etc?

Also…completely forgot to add this stunning thing that I did the other day. In a complete lack-of-sleep-this-weekend-induced haze, I sent a client a photo of myself (my new facebook photo, to be exact, where I’m in a tank top, boys pants, and about 20 belts) in place of a proposal they were expecting (they were next to each other on my desktop - could happen to anyone). I think this...

Isn’t it disgusting to think that literally almost every piece of mail you get or that is travelling through the infrastructure of the USPS has been touched by someone’s tongue?

Last night on my way home from drinks/dinner with the girls, was in the cab and splitting the fare with Courtney when the driver asked me where I was from. I told him I was from New York (Westchester to be specific), and he was like “You’re from White Plains, aren’t you?!” And I was like “Yeeessss….”
…creepy!

I would just like to point out that the headline in today’s Post actually uses the term “Girlie Man.”
Thanks, that’s all.

Today walking to work I saw this woman wearing a really sexy pair of black t-straps…with white gym socks. Seriously, white fluffy ankle height gym socks. WHAT?

If you have a bit of time, this article is super interesting. My favorite line is this:
One surprising study published last October in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior showed that strippers who are ovulating average $70 in tips per hour; those who are menstruating make $35; those who are not ovulating or menstruating make $50.

Last night, Paige and I were both pretty offended by the “dating” and “girl” advice that Gerard had been given by friends over the past few weeks. He’s convinced that 95% of girls have low self esteem and just play into the hands of “pick-up artist” guys and drop trou at first glance.
Do guys really see girls this way?
To his credit, he did say that 95%...

As a child, I desperately wanted to be a paleontologist, and sometimes I wonder why I didn’t take that path that I was so passionate about for much of my life (god, I’m a dork). But then, I see things like this article below, and it makes me realize that however cool dinosaurs are/were, any research you do about them is so utterly irrelevant to anything going on in the present...

Today I almost got run over by a guy on a bike delivering Domino’s Pizza. I wasn’t even that upset, really. I just couldn’t help but wonder, who the F in NYC orders Domino’s pizza?!

Big important presentation this afternoon at Morgan Stanley, and my two bosses and I are all wearing gray pants, black shoes, and black shirts. It looks like we planned this. Maybe they won’t notice?

So what happened to this huge blowout snow storm we were supposed to get last night? Instead of the 8 inches the National Weather Service warned us about, we got this crappy drizzling freezing rain. The only thing worse than a cold day in January is a cold Monday in January where it’s sort of raining but not enough to put up an umbrella. Chris put it so nicely last night that weather people...

Last night held a truly great moment. Faye and Karl, in an effort to garner the best review possible for their AMAZING restaurant/bar, decided that Paige and I (being the super fun/loud/appreciative ladies that we are) would be seated next to the table doing the restaurant review. The thought here was that we would rave and rave about how good everything was and how much we loved it there in order...

I have an addiction. And it’s with the unfortunate late-night occurence of drunk dialing/texting. And that might not even be a completely accurate statement, because I’m not always intoxicated when partaking, but it will invariably late at night when I’m at my most delerious/not sleeping.
It’s true. I get home or realize I can’t sleep and literally dig through my...

New Year's Resolutions
So…my #1 new year’s resolution is to check off something on my life’s to-do list within the first month of 2008. And it seems like the one I’m going to go with is to start a blog and keep it up to date.
So here goes…let’s hope I can stick to it.
