Bah. If I could just make myself decide about anything, I'd be dangerous. A couple of people mentioned a while back that indecisiveness is a Libra trait. Heh. So I guess I'm Libra all the way. I was thinking I should get a Libra tattoo, but I can't decide whether to get it on my ass or my forehead. Typical.

Still can't decide about when to take vacation time and go to Mississippi. I was thinking like Aug. 1-9 or so, but now I'm thinking late Aug. That would let me get through w/ this freelance book and maybe even get paid for it. And then school would be just starting and there'd be more going on in town. Well, actually there still won't be anything going on, but at least the town won't feel quite so empty. But maybe I'll get to see an MSU football game. That would actually be really fun--I guess it's almost three years since I've been to one. I can go take pictures of all the drunken freaks for y'all. =)

Anyway, so that's one thing. The other is what I'm going to do about staying here or moving on. It looks like there's not going to be a position for me to be able to move up into for the foreseeable future. ("Up into for." Damn, I can write.) So I guess when I get back into town I'll start looking for jobs in NYC again. That's not really so much an "if" question as a "when" question. I dunno, it's tough, though--really I'm just now feeling somewhat at home here. But the pay here stinks and I don't want to stay at this level for too long. But I've only been at the press for less than two years and in this particular job for just over one year. So gah. And my Magic 8-Ball long ago disappeared, worse luck.

What I need, my friends, is a sugar mama. I got no problem being someone's bitch. Well, not just anyone's, ya know, but I'm willing to field offers.

At Harry's retirement lunch at Ibiza today I had a $16 entree and water. So how did my bill end up being $28?!? And it was supposedly adjusted because I didn't have alcohol or dessert. I guess we paid for Harry's lunch too, but still--there were ten other people there! ah fuckithellidontgiveadamn

See, that's why I never go out to lunch with groups from work. I have a piece of bread and three drops of water and I have to pay $35.

Yeah, you know, I started not to go today, and for some reason at the last minute I decided "what the hell." That wasn't smart. Ouch.

Yeah, not only are you indecisive, but you're also flaky like a biscuit. I know these things, for I am a fellow Libra too. :)

Holy shit, we were born only six days apart! 10/1 to 10/7, '71. I knew there was a reason our brains are so similarly warped. ^5 :)

And yep, I'm a total biscuithead. But you knew that. ;)

Did Harry get a 20 pound lobster and the Dom Perignon?

I know, I should have paid more attention! No, I don't think so--I wouldn't think his bill could have been more than $35. And that would be w/ an $8 dessert and a cognac or something, which I dunno if he had, 'cuz I left when people were getting dessert. I mean, not that I care what he had, hell, it's a retirement lunch, he coulda gone hog wild for all I cared. I just think either the waiter got an incredibly generous tip or some people in the party got a really good deal. :) And I'm the poorest one among them.

When looking at NYC salaries as compared to thos of the New Haven area, keep in mind that anything less than a 20% or so increase is actually a pay cut when you factor in the astronomical cost of living. Although honestly, I'd rather eat Ramen and Dr. Thunder every night in New York City than GardenBurgers and Cherry Coke in New Haven (or Dallas, for that matter). If you see what I'm getting at. And I think you do.

I'm saying New York City is really cool. Christ, you're dense. Get with it man!
