I Heart (Parts Of) NY

So, this time around I actually managed to squeeze in some Non-Work New York Funtime, including a jaunt to the East Village with a very cool Yeti and his equally fabulous girlpal. On Tuesday night we had dinner at the ultra-adorable Yaffa cafe, and then followed it up with many many many drinks, including lots of free Sparks at a bar decorated with toilet paper and porn. According to Jerry, I am much less nerdy than he expected. Of course, he said that before I turned the corner from Cute Drunk Girl to Loud Annoying Drunk Girl somewhere around 1AM. Sorry bout that Jer!

Of note: near 70 degree weather in Manhattan, several successful solo rides on the subway, goat cheese pizza, and a mini shopping expedition through Soho. Plus, some dude with two mohawks invited me to go to Israel. Oh, and I finished up a couple of TV commercials or something.

Now its back to cold hard reality. Like, literally. It's MAYBE 20 degrees in downtown Chicago today, and not much more than that in my office. I'm wearing a coat, gloves, hat and scarf right now. Have you ever tried to type with gloves on? It ain't easy, so shut it. Plus there were like 150 emails in my inbox this morning since our dauntless IT guy failed to set up my shiny new laptop for wireless access. Here's to you, Mr. IT Guy Who's Too "Busy" To Actually Help People Do Work And Then Has The Nerve To Suggest They Are Stupid For Not Figuring It Out Themselves! Have a Budweiser, ya punk!
