Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

Stresses that tied you in knots may be suddenly released today. You may breathe a deep sigh of relief as you are set free, but you still cannot avoid the long-term issues you must face. Instead of running away from them, accept your current situation graciously while working to make the necessary changes.

creepy

what i do at "work"

i'm temping as the receptionist at a very fancy schmancy women's couture showroom and corporate/design office in the garment district. the building houses a ton of other fancy schmancy offices. celebs come in from time to time. here's a montage of what i do at "work."

sometimes its really slow. i won't get a call for half and hour. so i decided to bead a little. right now i'm working on a bracelet for my co-worker's niece. he already bought one for his daughter.




sometimes i do the crossword in any of the free morning papers. i use the thesaurus on my dashboard and google for emergencies only. i'm not a sudoku master, but i do have an arsenal of tricks up my sleeve.



usually i'll eat at my desk because i can eat and still be on the computer. plus, its friggin' cold outside. sitting at bryant park freezing, while eating lunch isn't appealing to me. bananas shouldn't be that big. very unnatural.



i read almost every single fashion magazine that comes through here, which equals to a lot of reading. i've been reprimanded for not "turning in" the magazines right away. i get $12/hr, throw me a friggin' bone here. or at least a friggin' skim thru the new french vogue.

often times i'm chatting online and managing my blogs. when i'm really desperate for some entertainment, i'll check out some of my myspace friend requests. the good, the bad, and the fugly.


so thats more or less the typical day. pay sucks, but with all the free time i explore what else is out there for me to do. i ask for stuff to do all the time, but right now i guess theres nothing much for me to do except enjoy the macbook pro while i can. everyones been telling me to stick it out. for how long? who knows? but i'll try to make the most of it.

no list...just Ate woes

a lot of times my little brother's friends will come to me for relationship advice, lately i feel like an unlicensed relationship adviser that could be screwing things up and right now i'm not the best person to be dishing this stuff out.

i'm not an expert, but i did read "he's just not that into you," so pseudo-technically i am.

what happens when you try to move out of the friend zone only to be left out in the cold? what happens when you don't feel the same way you used to inside and out?...

this morning we had a fire drill, everyone had to go out and stand by the elevators. they told us all the precautions to take in case of an emergency. we have two "searchers" who go through the office and make sure everyone is out and safe. how cute that they are the two halves of our one and only inter-office couple.

wouldn't that be nice? something shitty happens and theres a man with a clipboard going down a list of things you are supposed to do so that everyone is out and safe.

but there's no man with a clipboard. there's no list telling you the safe and right things to do for the rest of your life. you just have to get out there and do what you feel. like i told my brother's friend, it's 1-2-3-GO! just do it.

a small thing of ground cloves costs $8!

1. i helped my friend shira make gingerbread cookies for her hanukkah/christmas gifts. apparently, ground cloves are a must when making gingerbread cookies.

2. scene: shira standing in the kitchen holding a baking sheet full of cookies, quote: "the men are hard"

3. kevin is here. i'd like some adobo and kare-kare please. salamat po.

4. do you think my boss will mind if i make ornaments at my desk?

5. might as well add mini-funfetti cookies to that damn list

i have hawt friends

1. i missed the bento party last night...pics aren't up yet. this means the party was really fucking good. right pam?

2. i got a randumb message on myspace from a guy who takes pictures of himself working out at the gym...with his camera phone...yea.

3. my friend kevin might be coming up to visit his family...this means one of two things: 1. i get to see kevin and 2. i get to eat filipino food

4. my co-worker prabal says he wants to find a boyfriend. maybe this will help. if you aren't big on reading, then use this instead.

5. 25 cards, 10 ornaments, and 50 snowflake cookies by december 17...2007.

5. sorry, i can't think of anything because the IT guy hooked me up with a fucking macbook pro at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....too bad it's locked to the desk. FUCK!

i can't do this everyday...

1. as an update to eric's puppy story. i spoke w/ his girlfriend lindsay and she said that eric is really just trying to get his brother to buy a puppy. eric can then play with the puppy without any real responsibility. douche.

2. luckily amNY had a sugar cookie and royal icing recipe on pg. 16 today. my plan is going swell.

3. i have a hankering for empanada mama, 763 9th Ave. yelp it you lazy bum.

it's only tuesday...

1. i talked to my friend eric today. he said he's getting a dog. if he can afford to get a dog, he's doing something right. i can barely afford to buy lunch.

2. i saw laura from last season's project runway walking down fashion avenue. she had the same sleek red hair, pulled back in a low ponytail, dressed in all black, with the strong intention of getting somewhere.

3. i recently found out that my brother's friend has acquired a girlfriend...he found her through playing warcraft.

4. i have an elaborate plan to bake and send out snowflake shaped sugar cookies to friends and family for the holidays. i'm certain my plan will work.

5. i might have a new job by the end of the month.

p.s. i'm a tad gassy from lunch still and i'm afraid i'll let out a noticeable poot on the train...
