  • Living in Fort Greene at 244 Cumberland has taught me much.
    I think this is and should always be my way of putting things into perspective.
    Neighborhoods campuses
    a community
    they're

  • what is it about 80's pop that makes me work at optimum speed in the office..?
    it's like the whole aerobics music thing or smtg to that extent i guess..
    maybe it's cos the 80's cemented the corporate way of life into all our minds to a degree..
    how many movies were about/heavily featured working in a huge corporate office then?
    working girl
    risky business
    wall street
    big
    bunch of others..

    ...

    this sounds awesome..

  • my thoughts at this stage:

    i will always need a job
    because i need money to have basic necessities
    that job may not be what i looove doing
    so i better learn something good while i'm at it
    i look back and see the stuff i've done out of job world these past 3 yrs and hey if i was in school i'd give myself a degree in some art form
    but that's what it's supposed to be
    we're so productive while in school
    that type of productivity should never decline
    you should always constantly challege yourself in what you love best and use your job to teach you from experience and self-learn skills you need while getting paid
    always learn, and if it doesn't let you or you're at a dead end, move on
    life's too short
    and you know deep down you'd like to eventually have that job that's also your favorite thing to do
    so work on it, figure out how to make it a job if possible
    if not, it will always be a hobby that you'll need to destress, motivate and is just plain fun

  • damn real estate wars
    feels like it
    so stupid cos i'm throwing down so much moola yet it's so stressful

    the broker for that first place left a rather erratic message about how the place is available again last night
    only to call saying it's getting rolled over to the next highest bidder today... wtf? then why did you call and say it's available and we should bid blah blah anyway, i called and put in a bid, she said she'll just present it tho probably we can only hope that it falls through w the current person to get a shot at it.


    ..
    my receptionist brought her sick daughter in to work
    i happen to sit sort of next to her and pretty much babysat her daughter last time, letting her use my mac. but now that she's sick, i can't help hoping i won't catch whatever it is she has.. especially since she's sort of directly beside/behind me and constantly coughs etc .. dammit, i finally get a vacation day for memorial day and i can't afford to be sick!!!  arrrrr. and i don't want o be rude.. i know it's tough raising a kid as a single parent.. i better not get sick. my immune system better be able to handle this..


    yea and now i'm coughing.. damn airborne diseases

  • in a strange turn of events.. the firts apt we saw is available again.. the deal  didn't go through..
    i liked the place. after complaining that it had no view the first time and looking at what feels like a few dozen places i have to admit that apt's no view (faces buildings) is much better than the 1st floor apts we've seen.
    dunno. it's so much more expensive than the one we have a bid accepted right now and it's off the G.. the other, off the 7.. but it is bigger.. hmm hmm.. need this to end soon. but when the price is in the hundred thousands, hell we're takin our time to make wise decisions..

    heh and i was finally psyched to be in sunnyside too.. finally detached myself from wanting to live here, and then it creeps back. that possibility..
