Today has not been a good day so far, but I am determined to turn it around. It's only half way over!
I need to learn my lesson. No tequila on weeknights -- because they make me have crazy nonsensical dreams where I literally wake up crying! Regardless, I had a great time last night. Two NYJL provisional group members and I went to Southern Hospitality. Justin Timberlake's bar! WHY have I never been here before? Well, actually probably because it's on the Upper East Side and I rarely find myself there. It just so happened to be Trivia Night, but the girls and I just had a great time catching up, marg-(arita)-ing it up and just talking the night away.
Then, this morning I get an email from Orbitz reminding me to confirm my flight to San Antonio. Um, What?! I thought I cancelled it a month ago! I was supposed to get a full refund, but I guess it didn't go through. However, the customer service I called were not only unhelpful, confused, but most importantly, extremely rude. I'm sorry, but if you work in customer service and are a bitter human being, then I think it's time to switch jobs. The entire job description is SERVING the CUSTOMER. I am your client, and unless I am being rude to you I see no reason to be condescending. I used to use Orbitz ALL THE TIME and praise the amazing price assurance packages to my sorority sisters, friends, and family. Well, after this experience, I'm really put off and I just don't think I will be using Orbitz again. Ugh. I just hate unnecessary rude behavior.
Is any one impressed by the fact that I am posting two days in a row? I definitely am. Moving on to the title of this post. I've mentioned before that I have so many great loft goals and fail to carry through. So two things I'm trying to be consistent with in my life right now. Healthy eating and blogging... well, I guess I should throw exercising in there too!
I've stuck to my lent diet of no breads, pasta, rice, or potatoes. But today I cheated and had some croutons with my salad. Not the end of the world right? Haha, not as if eating fried chicken last night was healthy. I found a GREAT new lunch place though--wichcraft. It's a sandwich/salad place chain owned by the great Tom Collicchio (who also owns Panera...WHAT?) I already love this place. You can choose any sandwich filling option they have and throw in on a bed of salad with a yummy, light citrus vinaigrette. Thumbs up. Since SPRINGGG is coming, I will definitely be walking a few blocks further for this awesome lunch, hold the croutons though.
Happy Hump Day all! I hope you're having a better day than me so far!

Crushing
And so, another month has passed and I have been a bad blogger! So, the steelers lost, but I had a good time watching the game anyway ;) More to come on that later. That's alright, but March Madness is upon us! And as I've done the past two years, I invited some of my good girl friends to join in on the fun with some friendly competition via bracket making!
Not too much has changed in the past month. Work has been work. Stressful and long hours (although not as bad as bankers have it). However, the most irritating part of work, isn't the actual work, surprisingly. Rather, its my dumb coworker. Was that too blunt? I suppose being dumb is not something I should hold against a person. But rather I am constantly irritated by his lack of effort, motivation, and constant pushing of "bitch" work to me although he's not that busy. Keep in mind, he's not my boss. Additionally, it's as if his iPhone is actually a brick. He has SO MANY personal phone calls coming into the office every day. Aside from friends, his unemployed girlfriend calls ALL DAY LONG. This is unprofessional in my workplace, although I know each workplace environment is different. And cackling loudly while gossiping about your friends? Completely unacceptable and distracting.
Moving on from complaints, I am crushing. Hard. On some random boy I met twice. And I honestly canNOT stop thinking about him! This makes me feel like a complete schoolgirl, because I really have no reason to be thinking about him this much. In fact it's been over a month since I have seen him last, and we met at mutual friend gatherings. But yet, because it's been so long since I have clicked that well with someone, he stays on my mind. Or maybe we didn't click as well as I thought, who knows. But finally, someone adorable and intelligent, that I can exchange witty banter with. I'm trying to get those mutual friends to set something up, just to see if maybe there is a spark there. But until then! Daydreams at work :) and lowered productivity.
Oh and for lent, I've decided to give up carb-type items! At first, it was bagels (which is tough for me, I LOVE BAGELS). But as of last night, I've decided to try my best to give up bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and anything similar to those items. It will be hard though, I do love myself some sourdough bread and fried rice or penne alla vodka. And especially tough when eating out with my friends...but I'll allow a little slip-up here and there for special occasions. Does that still count as giving it up for Lent?
