Where have I been???

In the past month, I have been practically all over the eastern seabord. And not for fun either. BUT... I started my job yesterday, and I'm really excited about living in NYC! I also managed to REALLY piss off some clergy (unintentionally) and had to put out some fires even before my first day of work! Let's just say, I will be much more mindful of the emails I send from now on.

I'm spending this first week of employment living with one of my best friends in the whole wide world, and it's really really fun. She's trusted me with keys to her apartment and everything. It's like the old days when we had sleepovers, except we're tired and have to get up early.

For those of you who aren't aware, I'd like to share something that is startlingly clear this week. Those TV shows that "take place" in NYC - like Friends and Will & Grace - do not, in any way, accurately portray life in the city. Apartments are never that large and you can't possibly afford them based on the jobs these people have. Life is also much more fast-paced and exhausting than you would think from watching the activity in Central Perk. So the next time you see Monica and Rachel or Will and Grace hanging around in that enormous apartment, with all this free time on their hands, just remember, it's not real!

more pearls of wisdom coming soon...
