Tim and Elizabeth's wedding was awesome.  I am so glad I got to see you Chelsea!  This was just what I needed.  I remember now how much I miss feeling like that.  Maine is a beautiful state, even though it feels like it's ions from NYC :-)  Oh my gosh, ok, so like, the whole way down from Boston to New York, there was this mom who had her 4 kids.   ( Read more... )

I cant believe it's already the end of March.  Time flies when you're having fun.  Ok, so I work for CUNY, a huge university in NYC, so naturally, I applied to two of their grad schools.  Well,  I got some disappointing news recently: those two grad schools  rejected me.  I got a letter from one about 2 weeks ago, and the other letter I received a ( Read more... )

About two and a half weeks ago, bossman actually finally updated me and my co-worker about the job positions. He mentioned that he deeply desires for us to become both full-timers but he's basically waiting on approval and the paperwork to come through. I was content with the answer because it at least showed that he wanted to pull some strings on ( Read more... )

Well, my b-day was yesterday, November 22 and it was great.  It was prolly one of my most hearfelt b-days yet.  I got tons of wishes, cards, e-mails, texts all gushing with the best of remarks for my special day.  Thanx, everyone.  I pretty much worked the full day on my b-day (I know, that blows...u might also think: It's her b-day, she shouldnt ( Read more... )

Well, guys, today was the interview with the bossman for the full-time position....and....
