I hate this day

Every year I hate this day. And it never gets any better.

Every year I relive the first 24 hours as if it were a movie.

But it’s sad that I still dream at night that its all a dream and it never happened. But he’s always stuck at 13 and I’m always the older sister who didn’t treat him right (I don’t think that’s completely true because he knew I loved him. I guess he just didn’t know how much.)

I’ve missed my woman Alana Joy. Total heart this chick - in more ways than one.
alanajoy:
Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beautiful, sexy women of all time. Women wanted to be her, men wanted to be inside her. She was drop dead gorgeous, vulnerable, humble… and rumored to be somewhere between a size 12-16. It is people like Mary Rambin, referring to women with totally NORMAL and healthy bodies as “hippy” with a grotesque snarl on her emaciated face, who continue to propagate the lie that “thin is in”. Mary, with a body more like a prepubescent boy than an actual woman… “Men don’t like” to feel bones, bitch. Shame on you. If Michelle Trachtenberg is “hippy”, please tell me… how would you describe Julia? How would you describe Marilyn Monroe? How would you describe… your mother?How do you think you made the majority of women who bother to read your blog feel? How many teenagers with body dysmorphia and eating disorders do you think you just validated saying such socially irresponsible and immature remarks about someone who, unlike you, is a WORTHY role model? Maybe if you ATE SOMETHING you wouldn’t be such a RAGING CUNT.</rant>

GASP!!!

The weather if crap and I’m feeling fat so i go for a snack.

And who do i ride up in the elevator with (which made for a humbling moment in uber fatness and inadquateness if there is such a word)? Plum Sykes. Going to the executive floor.

Hmmmmmmmmm

This weather has seriously initiated an attitude re-boot. Where is my goddamn summer?!

I'm kinda over my assistant

Yes, I know that is the ultimate white whine. But man!

She’s been with the company probably ten years and her job is pretty much come to work at 8 and leave at 4. Except neither my boss, nor my colleague nor I ever get here before 9:30 so who knows when she really gets in. And I usually see her leaving at 3:45.

She’s probably got like six weeks of vacation but EVERY month - no lie - takes two days off because of - wait for it - woman problems.

Seriously, take a Midol, Aleve something.

She has child-care issues, sick relatives, has to work from home, plumbing work happening, husband has the flu, needs to see the dentist, every other week.

Her job consists of - taking meeting notes for me twice a week. Arranging my business travel (which I don’t go on anymore), screening my calls.

That’s it.

Listen - few people like their jobs these days. But it don’t get easier than that gig. So kiss my ass a little bit and ask me if you can help me with something or offer to learn something new. 

Oh, and I read gawker at work too. Just PRETEND you aren’t reading it ALL day. Gawd

New renderings of the lobby at the new Mondrian coming to NYC on Crosby St. this year. According to this tipster- the fixtures on the left (click through to see image huge style) are actually arms that move up and light up simultaneously when someone walks by…

Douchebag vs. A**hole

So we have a mini crisis going on in one of our off-site divisions and I am meeting the management team for the first time and - well their SVP of Sales. I mean man WTF.

In addition to sticking his finger in my face, demanding I DO SOMETHING for him (to cover his ass and ensure he gets his Fucking bonus) he commits the cardinal sin of lack of politeness in my book, no please, no thank you, no addressing people by their names.

Which begs the question what is the difference between a douchebag and asshole?
