Suddenly I See

Hi there,

Did anyone hear that flush? That was the wonderful apartment deal going down the toilet. Yeah. Back to square one. Kind of. Luckily I have kept up the search and moving into a nice place March 1st is still an option.

I'm writing this update from a Cosi on 6th Ave and 22nd Street. Google that. Or not. Anyway I have come here to hang out and blog with my friend Jessica. Jessica's been my friend for a month and a half (today, actually) so I decided I could share her with you guys. See, I am making friends :) Jessica is 23, moved here a few days after I did from North Carolina, worked at Distinctive Personnel with me and we get along really well. (Most days) No really. She's great. She has a very quick, witty, sarcastic sense of humor and we're usually two steps ahead of anyone else around us. It's refreshing to be around someone who's on your level. Story!!! Yesterday Jess and I went to brunch in Union Square at 3 p.m. Our hostess (being very sensitive to the fact that we were two girls out together on Valentine's Day) sat us next to a very affectionate couple. We ordered very filling meals and when we noticed that the girlfriend sitting next to us was served an infant sized bowl of granola (w/o milk), Jess and I were already exchanging jokes through sarcastic glances. And then it happened again when the girlfriend needed to pack up her leftovers. This is us at her friend's show.

So the job is going well. I'm making friends and getting praise for knowing how to work the auto-highlighting feature in Excel. Life is good. Plus the boss put me in charge of ordering office supplies so I have post-its in every color!!! Just kidding. Also, I'm the new minute-taker at all the meetings and so I'm putting my past experience to use - I was my high school's ASB Secretary.

I had a very nice week, overall. I heard it was really cold in California. Thats crazy because it was very warm here. One day I had to take my jacket off on my way into the office because I was too hot. I also received packages - both Valentine's Day gifts - from Mom and Monica.

Thanks for reading. Let's catch up again soon,
Anna
