Conversations

Theresa was telling me about a conversation she had regarding NKOTB today at work. And it got me thinking of my own job.

Do you know what kind of conversations I’ve had at work the last week or so? See below for samples:

ST (Sales Trainee): So are you going to this event tonight?
Me: What event?
ST: The one at the Elgin. (I can’t actually remember the name of the place so I picked the Elgin to make my job seem somewhat sophisticated.)
Me: Is it a team function, or a general gathering?
ST: It’s a Real Estate event. Basically a schmooze fest for Sales Reps and Analysts.
Me: Um, no. Are you?
ST: Yeah. You should go.
Me: I don’t think so.
ST: Why not? You could meet your future husband there.
Me: I don’t think so.
ST: Why not?
Me: I’m not looking for a husband right now. I want simple, fun and uncomplicated.
ST: Not me. I’m looking for that.
Me: Ah. So who knows, maybe you’ll meet your future wife there tonight!
ST: Not likely.
Me: Why not?
ST: It’s all sausage at these things. No bun.

And then today:

ST: So are you coming to the Keg tonight?
Me: I can’t go. I’m waiting for my order from that home shopping thing I did at my house a few weeks ago.
ST: Are we going to get you to come out this summer at least once?
Me: Sure.
ST: Good. You might meet your future husband there that night! Some nice, smarmy Investment Banker.

Seriously? Theresa talks about New Kids and I get invitations to party and drink, and suggestions on where to meet rich men. The ST is pretty cool. He’s a smart kid and I’m a little more relaxed around him then some other people in the office. Probably because it hasn’t been that long since I was partying it up every night. I still find it funny that he keeps using that same line.

One night I’m going to actually find some friends to go out and party with me and I’ll run into him. That will be interesting to say the least!

Keeping it brief

(Please ignore the change in font for this entry. As I explained before, I’m new to this whole wordpress thing-a-ma-jig. Although I have been doing pretty good so far.) 

I’m keeping this brief because it’s Friday at 12:11 pm and the office closed exactly 11 minutes ago.  I’m using my own time to post this entry despite the fact the last 2.5 days at work have been boring and dead.  I work on a team of 11 people and only 4 of us were in this week (and we were in and out anyways).

New Years Eve is quickly approaching and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I will be heading to a friends house on New Years Eve for drinks, laughter and board games (because we’re geeks like that). I’m not planning on getting drunk, but spending the night with my friends means that more than likely we all will be slightly tipsy to say the least.

So when I’m back in the office on Wednesday I’ll take some time and post my new years resolutions on here for you all to see. I’m thinking about creating a page to keep track of the progress I make on my resolutions, and another page just for my weight loss journey.

Until then, here’s the best to you and yours. Whatever you do, I hope its safe and fun filled.
