Life update

I start my new position in the company on 12/29/08. I move to my new desk at 1pm on Friday (12/19/08). I am very excited and nervous about this new position. I am worried that I’ll be a big disappointment and all the people will think that I’m a fluke. I will work as hard as I can to prove them that it was worth the risk hiring me for a position where I don’t have any of the technical skills/background.

I just had a great weekend with the boyfriend. I got to meet the “parents”. It wasn’t even half as bad as I expected. They were quite polite and we had a good meal together. I would even call them cute. ) Oh, now I have a pink nano thanks to my thoughtful boyfriend (Jeff). He also got me the Nike+ attachment for the iPod. I did my first run on Tuesday. I guess this will motivate me to run more since I can’t afford a personal trainer anymore. Okay, I need to get to bed. I woke up at 5:30am to go to the gym!

I love Fridays

It’s 3pm on a Friday. I want to go home! I wanted to tell my few readers that I’ll be transitioning into a new job within my company come January 1st, 2008. I am very excited. I hope we find a good replacement for my current position. I’ll be in charge of most of the training. shock

I’m looking forward to this weekend. I’ll be attending my parents’ anniversary dinner. They always invite the kids when they should be alone celebrating their marriage. I’m also going to Essex for their famous brunch for my good friend Stephanie. Tonight, I’ll be going to Ippudo for overpriced, but delicious ramen. I hope to get some tasty cupcakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine on Sunday with my food fiend BFF.

Lazy Sunday

I woke up at 8:30 am today. I went Spinning at 9:15am. It was a great workout. I met up with my friend and we got breakfast. I’ve been inside since then. I just don’t feel like doing anything. I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I can’t believe it’ll be November soon. Where did 2008 go?

Last weekend, I decided it was time to exchange my crappy cable box for something that actually works. For awhile, I could only watch TV in black and white because the S-Video plug was busted on my cable box. Thanks to my genius boyfriend, he recommended I use the RCA cables to connect my cable box to my TV. Voila, I had color once again. However, I had a lot of problems watching HBO On Demand. I called useless Time Warner and they told me I either had to wait for a technician on a Saturday, or come into their store. Jeff and I headed to the Time Warner store on 23rd Street at around 4:45pm. I thought they would close at 5pm, so we took a taxi downtown. To my luck, there was a ton of traffic on 2nd Avenue. However, we ended up getting there at 5:02pm. The guy at the ticket dispenser asked, “Were you running?” I replied, “Yes, don’t you close at 5pm today?”. He said, “No, we close at 7pm. There were other people who thought we close at 5pm today too.” Anyway, Jeff kept mentioning DVR and how it has changed his life. Down in Florida, it’s only an extra $4 a month. When it was finally my turn, I asked my sales associate about DVR and she said it was an extra $10 a month! I was torn between getting it. Lately, I’ve been having trouble watching all my TV on Sunday (Mad Men, Brothers & Sisters, Army Wives and Entourage) and Monday (Heroes, Jon & Kate +8, Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother). I decided not to get DVR. However, when she came out with the same old busted black cable box, I’m like actually, I will get DVR. I got the new box and we went on our merry way. While we were on the 6 train, Jeff asked me about my remote. I said OH NO! Anyway, it turns out my remote doesn’t work.

To make a long story short, I rushed to the store on Monday and exchanged my old remote for a new huge remote. Now I’m in DVR heaven!

P.S. I had no idea my site was down for a few days. ASO was able to fix it in a matter of minutes. I love them!
