bso last night for the russian composers series.
interestingly enough, none of the composers
were russian.

alas.

so is life

there are currently 4 couches residing in the house
at least 3 of them need to go
tried to give them to goodwill, pine street inn, vetrans, and another goodwill
but nobody was taking
apparently there is a glut of sofa's in the greater boston area?

here is my tale...believe it...or not

friday i had a noon appointment that cancelled
so i called this guy that i'd had an appointment with
on tuesday to see if he wanted coffee
he said he was about to have lunch
so i said...great...why don't we have lunch

he is the nicest guy
we had a fun lunch.
giggled, snorted, talked about curling
(we'll come back to that...)

end of the meal
i'm thinking i'm going to do the
*let's go sign those contracts*
when he grabs my shoulders
and kisses me

and my only thought was,
*holy bat guts...not only are you
barking up the wrong tree...
but you're in the wrong forrest*

and i never did get those contracts signed.
damn, the things i do for my job

what to do with those clothes that need to go to charity?

bring them to the women's consignment shop in needham.
if they can't sell it, they donate it to one of 3 women's shelters.
not a bad gig, if i do say so

too early to think about football?
i think not.

my cell phone died today in mid-conversation.
sigh.
it's a new phone and the battery lasts about 12 minutes
but interestingly enough
it only takes about 20 minutes to recharge it
once it's gone ka-blooey.

2 days and i haven't closed anything.
had about 74 appointments
and nada
zip
zilch
pa-tooey

but at least i looked sassy in my striped shirt

and i extolled the virtues of Craggenmore
upon my fellow bretheren
aka the guy in the lamp shade store

my kingdom for a honey roasted cashew

who knew the entire boston media
would show up in hopkinton
and film the bator/kim wedding
at the start of their *marathon of life*

better still...

who knew joe changed his name to jason
just for fox25 news

apparently my nose made the news coverage also
or so i was told.

2 weddings today...

"Tyrone, you know how much i love to watch you work
but i've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan,
my wife to murder, and Gilder to frame for it. I'm swamped"

....i'm off

oh and nothing will beat going over to Bonfire
TWICE
to get cable cars.
(giggle, giggle)

good lord.
i either have a freakin' cold
or horrible allergies
or, god forbid, both

whose brite idea was spring, anyway?

need to take a nap
but am not sleeping well

and yes, pk..i DO monitor
and ravenswood is always an excellent choice
it's held in wood...not stainless steel...casks
and i know how much you love your merlot

and julia...i don't *sell* anything
i am but a consultant
who carries around a briefcase full of documents
just waiting for authorization
to change your provider of local, long distance and
internet services
over to my company
(my people....we call it Conversent)
in exchange for
better customer service
faster equipment
and cheaper prices.

it's amazing they aren't just lined up
outside my door to get ahold of me
ain't it.

1st sale yesterday
(and second)
might have done the happy dance in the hallway
outside their office

i'm pooped.
who knew working would be so hard.
golly.

weddings all weekend.
hazaa hazaa
(not mine, mind you...)

AND i have a new "Hello Kitty" mouse
and thanks to PK, i STILL say "Hewo Kitty"
has it really been 7 years?

today was my second "official first day of work"
and it was a rousing success
if only because no one got into a major traffic accident
(please see reference 3/30)

i went a-cold callin' on 25 good business people
in needham
and watched my bosses' boss do a 1/2 presentation
to a client who said he needed to think about it
good to know it happens to everyone

i know it does
but still....it's nice to see that sometimes
no matter what you do
it ain't gonna happen.

but man alive...i am TIRED.

i DO apologize for my lack of blog-a-licious-ness
as it were
i've been away
training my little toes off
in scenic malboro
for my new sales job

cool people
cool company
cool products

should be a grand adventure

provided i never have to ride
in a little red car
ever again....

and it's true.
i do have a new lexus.

holy bat guts.

it is now the first of april
i've not been back to work yet.
tomorrow.
i'm going in tomorrow.
i am sore and bruised.
but i'm upright.
and for that i am grateful.

am i a changed woman?

yes.

and i also now own several Pink shirts.
and a 55-inch television.

no sense in dying with any money left....
