I decided to set this blog up just so I had a place to vent. As I am in real life with my direct approach on most matters, this blog represents my true feelings about friends, family and especially, my dating life. In a city as big as Chicago and the amount of people I meet on any given day or night, it's worth remembering those experiences in one way or another b/c they ultimately make up who I am. My interests: Terrorizing vaginas and spelunking the many parts of a woman with my tongue... and collecting Garbage Pail Kids and African garden gnomes
Just got back from my lunch with D and Allen. Allen did have great news. He says they're expecting to expand his group twofold over the next year and a half and they're looking to hire 5 individuals over the next six months. He said they have me at the top of the list of people they want to come in to interview in the valuation group. Wow, best news I've had in awhile. What's great is that they have some projects starting really soon that (and that's if things work out) would have me probably move to New York for 3 years or even D.C. for a year or two. Pretty amazing. I think doing consulting at this capacity would be great for me on so many levels. I've never been one who could sit in the same place for too long and I just feel stagnant at my current position. I'm so excited right now but I really can't talk to anybody about it b/c I'm back at work right now so I came here to vent it out. I'm really not used to the fact of not being able to pick up the phone and share in my excitement with A. It's something I'm just going to have to get used to.
Anyways, I hope everything is well with everyone out there. Lata.
It's cold and raining in Chicago today. Imagine that. I can't believe that the warm weather didn't hold up -- yeah right. Works been tough lately and afterwards, my brother came over to the office so I could try again to help him with his taxes. We sat there until 7:30 trying to figure them out but the problem is that he doesn't have a regular W-2. Nooooo, he's got a 1099-MISC. Wonderful b/c no e-filing program I found would support that doc. So he's just going to have to contact H&R today. What a waste of time. And I didn't get to workout last night b/c of it. I'll have to hit it extra hard today.
I have a lunch meeting with Allen from HC today. I hope he's got some good news for me. Danielle will be there as well so hopefully she'll be able to put in a good word or two for me when they walk back to the office together. I have to "escape" my position right now. I need a fresh start or I'm going to lose it. So sick of the same environment day in and day out. The only thing that's keeping me sane somewhat are the people I work with, at least they're cool. Stacey actually got a new job at SSA doing financial analyst work. Tia was happy for her but turned around and called her recruiter. Basically b/c the recruiter that got her hired at SSA was the same one that got her placed at BofA and that was a little over a year ago. Can't blame Tia for losing that recruiter, even if it was one of Stacey's friends.
Jeez, I really didn't do anything too interesting last night but at least tonight will be very exciting, I get to do my taxes... sweet! Oh, I did happen to catch the last half hour of "The Shape of Things" last night. Jesus Christ, that movie is seriously fucked up. Rachel Weisz (sp?) is the ultimate heartless femme fatale. She did such a great job with that role. It's a lot like the feeling I had at the end of "In the Company of Men". Both where at the end your frozen, you want to look away but you can't. You can't believe that someone could come up with something like that and it could actually happen. Some of us feel like they've been in manipulative situations like that before. Sometimes you just have to question was it all just a game or an experiment? Why else would someone do it?
