Cranky coughy
I. am. so. over. this. cold.
Have I mentioned that being sick in the summer sucks? Have I mentioned that I am in week 3 of this freaking residual bronchitis/cold/allergy mess? Last night I woke myself up coughing severely at 2am. I was bleary and up until 3am waiting for some stronger drugs to kick in. I had a moment of panic that this will never go away and that my voice will remain hoarse forever.
Needless to say, I'm cranky b/c I'm tired. So, allow me to go on a few tirades......if you aren't in the mood, I suggest you skip the next several bullet points and meet me at the end of this post.
- I am at my 90 day or 3 month milestone at my new job. It's been ok. The drama is already starting. Why do I keep finding myself in jobs that are riled with problems? Basic: new SVP hired. I like her alot. She gets it, gets me, we have the same background and philosophy. VP who is my boss? I am more experienced than her she grew up in this company and is already starting to use me and taking credit for the work I do and passing stuff off to me. Our team is going to get completely reorganized. SVP and VP are now going to battle over who gets me. It was hilarious. Within 3 hrs the other day, each came into my office and shut the door to tell me their plan and "confidential" info. I just want things to get resolved that makes sense and get on with it.
- To the loser dude who not only growled at me and whispered disgusting things to me on the street. You are a tool b/c you did this while I was with my mother and she heard you. Ew. Clearly, you don't care or get it and that's just gross.
- It's hot, humid and summer in NYC. People - could you please consider putting on some deodorant? We have to cram ourselves on the subway b/c we all need to get somewhere. Let's try to make it as least offensive as possible. I have an idea. You know how marketers are always handing out free samples on the street these days? From a new energy drink to paper fans to packs of mints? How about handing out small samples of deodorant to remind people or to give them something to quell the stank while out and about?
Ok, rant over....whew. That felt good. What else? Swing dance classes -advanced beginner level- started this week. WOW. There is a big leap from basic class to this one! We got into class and the instructor came in, turned on music and said, 'Find a partner and start to warm-up". About 1/2 of us just stood there looking at each other like, 'what? warm-up? we know how to dance now?" This instructor is just off and running, had us doing spins, kicks, arm loops. I am glad I am a girl at this moment and not the lead or the guy. They have a lot of work to do. As the follower, you just have to do what they push you to do! I was making it up or just being spun around. Luckily, I figured it out. Still tons of fun, though! And very sweaty and you must wash your hands after class. You touch a lot of sweaty people.
I have started exchanging emails with a man who contacted me from my profile that I had long forgotten about. He's witty and interesting over email. He is recently divorced and is looking to date. I'm fine with that. I am enjoying our email banter and we are going to make plans to meet after he returns from his week long trip. The only thing ...he's older...which I like....but much older. Like 49 going to be 50 older, to which he had initially been evasive about, saying he was "in his 40's". Knowing that people have been known to fib (as I've experienced) I asked and he finally told me, "I was born in the 60's. I can tell you about it or make some of it up. I'm luckily not quite old enough to be your father. I hope that is ok."
Hopefully will be fun and nice to meet him when we do. I've only had 2 dates this year and we're midday thru 2008. Need to fix that. Besides it's summer a time to just chill and stay cool (literally and figuratively). Now if only my cold would go away and I could get my voice back.
