So... I was on the phone with a travel agent that was calling from Italy(Rome, more specifically). She made a reasonable effort to speak English. I was impressed and thought I would try to return the favor... considering I took Italian in middle school, I figured I'd be able to come up with something intelligent to say in Italian. Regrettably, I ( Read more... )

Saturday night, I went to a dance club in Allentown, PA called Banana Joe's. It was a nice place... fun atmosphere, interesting decorations, well staffed, and fairly clean. However, it seemed to me like everything there was a bit more expensive than really necessary. In most cases, if a club has a cover charge, the drinks are usually lower ( Read more... )

For the first time, I was at a Denny's by myself today. I stopped in at the Denny's in Vestal for some CFS and eggs after my job interview at AXA Financial. I associate Denny's with conversation and friends... Denny's just isn't the same without my peeps. I must say, though, that this particular restaurant is really cool... at least in terms of ( Read more... )

I intended to post a reply to an entry by Broccolilovesme, however, the account is set up to accept comments only from people on her 'friends' list. I'm not on her friends list, therefore I cannot post a comment. :-(

Man, do I feel old. Airhead's birthday was last week... we're both the same numerical age, now. It doesn't seem like that long ago that I thought mid-20's was old... and now I'm there. People seem to be advancing from one stage of life to the next at a faster pace than I'd like... for example, my best friend from college, who was a lowly ( Read more... )

Interesting tid-bit I picked up in an online forum: "you can sleep in your car but you can't race your house". I think it really speaks to a certain lifestyle that some of us have come to accept; it's okay to live in a mediocre house as long as you've got a cool car. ;-)

I returned home from a trip to Florida on ( Read more... )

For the first time in a long time, I'm not overdue on any of my regular monthly payments! :-) I even payed Monroe Ambulance this month... I managed to put off paying them for more than a year!! Feels good be be on top of things. Too bad I have to deal with a dumb toothless bitch every day I'm at work.

Y'all have a nice day...

It occurred to me several days ago that money sure makes things a hell of a lot easier. I won't say 'better', because it isn't. I can say with certainty that my life was a lot easier when I was bringing in $50K per year. I could eat at Denny's 4+ times per week and not suffer any indignities to my checking account. $610 a month for rent? no ( Read more... )

I'm working as a night auditor now... so I don't often get to see any of my coworkers. Unfortunately, the one person I do get to see during my shift, the breakfast hostess, is a dumb toothless bitch. Long story short; I don't like her work ethic and she complains more than any human being should ( Read more... )
