Valetine’s Day & Stuff
All the foxy people of the Stolie Nation rock!!! Big huge, drippy, wet kisses on the lips of all who left supportive comments the other day. (By the way, I also wrap my boney-ass brown arms around the lurkers who read but did not comment. You know you love me!! And, I love you, too, babies.)
I’ve been busy sending out resumes and doing jobsearch-related stuff. I’ve also been following up with a couple of leads for temporary work assignments. (I need to do something in the short-term to get money coming in the door until I can find another full-time, professional job.) The next few weeks will probably be very difficult, but I’m going to do everything in my power to make it work.
The great news is that I am not leaving New York. I’ve been in situations as difficult or, in some cases, more difficult than this before. New Yorkers tell me that the first year in the city is the most difficult year. I believe them. I’m facing a few challenges at the moment, but life goes on. And, for me, for 2006, it will go on in New York City.
But, let’s talk about other news. Happy news. How about Valentine’s Day? Yesterday. I meet Boy #2 at his house when he gets off of work. He cooks me an amazing dinner and follows it with heartfelt words of encouragement … and a very, very pleasurable massage. The rest of the evening goes well, too. So, um, that was my Valentine’s Day. How was yours?

I spent mine at work. The newspaper doesn’t get days off. Glad you got to enjoy yours.

Glad yours was great, stolie! We are having our celebration tonight since sis was out of town yesterday. She always cooks heart shaped hamburgers and we exchange valentines. I will blog about it later.

Forget MY Valentine’s Day – I spent it first sleeping, then watching TV, then working in a callcentre surrounded by Zimbabweans – tell us more about your ‘very, very pleasurable massage’!

I spent my day either in class or asleep but I did spend an hour making and eating dinner. A day well spent I think. You’re going to hear from me a lot more now that I know you can get my texts! Heh Heh!

Thats the spirit! Glad boy#2 is being so nice too.
My V-day, nothing exceptional just another day at the lab. I’m not a V-day person…hehe

Sorry to hear you lost your job. I’m in the same predicament though Austin is a slightly different market than NYC. I think you’ll bounce back soon like these far less fun and interesting bloggers:

Your joyous Valentine’s Day does seems to cushion the blow though, eh?

MOTHERFUCKER!!!! I just typed out individual responses to everyone but my computer freaked out. I got the White Screen of Death (page cannot be displayed) and then my comment was gone. Whatever!!!
Alright, instead of retyping the long comments, here’s a quick rundown …
- Warm and tingly feels good
- Make time for you, not just work
- Heart-shaped cakes? Cute
- The massage was x-rated
- Yes, email, text, call, whatever
- Yes, Boy #2 is good
- sorry you’re in the same predicament

Sounds nice. BTW, temping in NYC is great (haven’t you checked out all the great cult flicks about it?) I did it my first four or five years I lived here because A. the pay is comparable and B. I usually wound up on indefinite long term assignments.

Hey Busybody,
Yeah, I think I might have some temp work lined up for next week. I already went in to register. It seems that a lot of people temp in this city when they are between jobs.

I’ve totally temped between jobs. It’s great. Fast, easy cash without having to hook yourelf or something.
an x-rated massage??

Yeah, the temping stuff may be the way to go for now … and, yes, the massage was great. I don’t know how things will work out with Boy #2 in the longterm. For now, he’s been very comforting (and very good at it) when I need it the most.
