I'm sorry

I really did try to recap on le blog last night but I was just too tired. I only had time to have dinner, pick up around the apartment and then go to bed. This morning I woke up and I'm still tired.

Recap of last week is pretty boring. As you know I quit the land that time forgot. So I took some time off in order to rest and get my act together before starting the new gig. The week went by rather quickly. Monday I went to a yoga class and walked around the city a bit. I had lunch with some old colleagues and just very leisurely sent the day strolling.

On tuesday I went to Brooklyn to have lunch with the people from the Land that time forgot. That was nice, but hard. First I had to drag myself to brooklyn and second running into granma rose was inevitable. I found out all this bad stuff about her after I quit. I turns out nobody wants to work with her and that she's had a lot of turn around in that position for the past 2 years or so. Too bad no one told me before I was hired.

After that then I pretty much stayed home, ran errands, cleaned and napped a lot. I was good while it lasted. Saturday I went hiking with delirium and vudolicious. I will post about that separately because the experience was very unique. i aslo went to a club on saturday night (also a separate blog entry due to the level of holes in my story). I also swear that any one of these days I will post my pictures up.

I started my new gig this past tuesday. So far so good. I'm really busy here which is good. I like to feel useful and have my brain actually working. Anyway, I promise more later on. Got's to go now.

My Apologies

I've neglected my blog tremendosly, but the time has come to set the record straight and I promise this time I will post pictures. I am however a tad busy at the moment so I won't go into details. I will update more this evening.

Floatinghead: The Remix

I haven't been logging current events due to the high lever of activity in my life this past week. Where should I start.

Well, I think I will start with what This Bird has appropriately labeled the bomb. I found a new job and have quit once and for all working in the land that time forgot. I gave them all of 2 and a half days notice and am taking this week off. I'm calling it a much needed sabbatical. Lounging, and getting stuff done around the house before I start the new gig. I am really excited about this new job which will come with a much younger and more creative cast of characters. Once I get settled in I'm sure you'll hear about it. I managed to celebrate the news every day of this past week, which makes me feel like today has been the first time I've been sober since last monday. No more of that though. I've turned over a new leaf.

I'm other news, I went to see the Libertine on wednesday with BTQ and Tundra. The movie sucked! Big time! on the other hand V for Vendetta which is saw yesterday with Delirium and Magpie was very entertaining. I also have to give honorable mention to the Reunion of "team conspiracy corner" which took place on Thursday at blockheads, and to Nina Nano my new travelling companion. More news to come dudes!

Happy Birthday Mama Pickle

This is a birthday shout out to Mama Pickle that turns 29 today! Applause, Applause....

Let's all wish her a very happy birthday!!!!!!

Rat Race

This morning's commute was a nightmare, and also goes to prove why I hate the MTA.

I took me 2 hours to get to work, 2 hours. Why you ask? Well simple, there was some sort of explotion on the subway track. the subway was filled with smoke and of course passengers get no information. We quickly realized that no one was coming to tell us what was going on and in an effort to breathe clean air we walked through the carts to get somewhere where smoke got into our eyes and lungs. Not surprisingly, the conductor comes on the line to tell us that the train's emergency brakes were activated and we will be "moving shortly". Lie number 1!!!! hello are you stupid! we certainly know what we saw and we are inhailing. They tell us nothing about getting out or if there is help coming. for half an hour we wait, only to hear that there is a "signal problem" that "help is coming and we will be moving shortly". Lie number 2!!!!

finally when helped arrived the train was moved into the West 4th station and put out of service. I had to take the train uptown to catch another line downtown to make it into work.....Good Grief Charlie Brown!!!

Ode to Annonymous

Thanks for the comments regarding Rose. I feel that I should be able to express my opinions being as this is my blog.

P.S. I know who you are!!! don't try to hide behind annonymous comments!!!!

News Flash

I have just figured out that Grandma Rose is the Avon lady of my office!

we all have them, the people in our office that sell us stuff that we don't want or need. We usually have an Avon Rep, the person who's kid is always selling crap from some catalog, and the person who collects money for birthdays, showers of all kinds, etc. Girl Scout cookies are one thing, but avon is completely different. I'm pretty surprised that she hasn't pushed the catalog on me.

The World of All Things Floatinghead

I'm taking a break from work now. For the past 2 days I have been happy and more productive because Granma Rose was sick and was not in the office. During this time I managed to decipher the following:

1. Said employee feels like she must be involved in absolutely everything regarding this institution.

2. The employee also has a fear of change, which means she challenges any and all changes all the time.

3.The employee has fears of being replaced.

4.Employee exhibits signs of feelings of entitlement - like she is owed greatly for all her years of service.

That's just my HR/Psycologist instinct kicking in. Now that I have a full understanding of the way she thinks, I'll be better able to Manage Up. By the way, I hate Managing Up! I was really hoping that when I came here I would be more in a team that in a clear cut boss/subordinate situation. It appears that the situation is going to have to take some changing no matter who likes it or not.

On a much lighter girly girl note, I think I have found the perfect razor for me! I have looked far and wide and have gotten many cuts, bumps and you name it, but I think I found a winner. Venus Divine!

I used it for the first time and loved it. My legs are really silky smooth. I think it was totally worth spending $10 on this to have a comfortable shave.

I'm Back

I went to Verizon last night and got my phone fixed. My relationships will no longer suffer because I don't return phone calls or text messages. The ringtone problem has not been fixed though. Which make me want to complain to them so that I can get my money back. It's really annoying. Since i can't get the picture of Carlos from Mr. Dynamite to post on my site a simple Verison Logo will do.

You know I never got to recap my weekend, but in sum it was good. There was plenty of alcohol involved, including champagne. Fun times!

At this point I would like to give Props! to Shaniqua and Mama Pickle for temporatily assuming the role of CEO of my life until I get back from "sabbatical". They are consulting on a part-time basis for now. So far they have done a good job of kicking me in the butt so that I can execute my "Master Plan". Big Up to the Ladies.

Cell Phone Drama!

Stupid Verizon! I went to the Verizon store to get my ringtone issue fixed on saturday. Briefly for those that don't know, I downloaded three song on to my phone so that I can have different songs for different people, but once i change it they all get switched back to one song, which is Pointless! and defeats the purpose of me paying for the ringtones etc.

So at the store the dude plays with my phone for a while and then tells me that he can't do anything to figure out why this is happening and he can't fix it. Then he says that he reprogrammed the phone and that didn't work either so basically between the lines he is saying You're Screwed Lady. I left the store with the same rintone issues as before and unhappy that Verizon changed me for ringtones that I can't use. Now, worst of all.....I sent all weekend scratching my head ever time someone told me "Oh I left you a message" or "oh I sent you text" because I didn't get any. This morning I was curious and just randomly checked my voicemail and discovered 7 voicemails that I did not get alerts for.

Now i'm really pissed becuase i have to go back there to tell some guy that the other guy reprogrammed my phone and now i don't get text messages and I don't get voicemail alerts. If they don't fix it i'll be really pissed because the first guy messed up my phone not me. I need to text! I need to received my texts! Not only that but I can't even tell who calls me because i can't use the stupid ringtones...

Ice Ice Baby

It will come as no surprise that there is ice everywhere in the streets today. After last nights cold weather the snow completely froze over and no one cleaned their walkways.

I have nothing exciting to report, and nothing fabulous to say. I have absolutely no plans for this weekend at all. No plans, no nothing. Maybe I will go to yoga tomorrow and take in a few moments of deep breathing and flexing my muscles. If anyone out there had anything remotely interesting that is going on in the city please let me know.

It seems like forever

I felt like something is missing. Then i realized I hadn't posted anything on my blog for like a whole 2 days. Anyway, there is nothing really interesting for me to talk about. I went to see Transamerica last night as part of the kkmk. The film was really good, I recommend it.
It's an interesting depiction of mordern day life and puts forth real issues but in a humoruous way. Funniest part of the evening was walking in to the theater with Mr. Dynamite and finding that the rest of the gang was not there. We were all pretty pissed because the subway was horrible to I think that might have played a role. I set of to find Vudolicious, Tundra and Baby Boy. I foung them in the theater next door. They were surprised to know that they were watching the wrong movie.

After the movie we exchanged a great big group hug and set off to our homes. Today I am going to yoga class in the hopes of finding enlightenment.
