i’m off to NYC, bitches.
i’m going for work. should be fun, especially since a couple of my besties (em & m) will be there with me. and since i’m going for “work” that means i’m going for “free”. woohoo! they paid for the ticket and the sublet - heck yes, a sublet. that means no living straight out of a suitcase in a dinky new york hotel room. i get to put my shit in drawers! the first week of april (3rd - 7th) i’ll actually be in boston, because i’m a big fucking geek and i’m super excited to go to the Photoshop World Conference and see the new stuff CS3 has to offer.
as for an update of what i’ve been up to since the last time i wrote anything halfway decent, here it is:
• had a mini mariah-carey-esque-nervous-break-break-down at work a few weeks ago. i was super overwhelmed, and since this is my first attempt at actually being a “manager” i didn’t know what to do. i talked it out with my boss, and everything’s good now.’
• my “team” is actually growing. holy shit. i really have a department. there’s me, mikee, our new intern jackie (my first time hiring somebody, woohoo! and she’s really effin’ good too), and while i’m in NYC we’ll be hiring a designer to work at that office.
• i make really good chicken marsala and mascarpone cheese mashed potatoes
• i’ve been to some good shows lately, including:
- the roots @ gibson amphitheater
- musiq souldchild @ the belly up
- john west @ lestats
• i turned 25. we celebrated friday the 16th at zenbu with some ridiculously good sushi, then we went to Imperial House on the 17th for some good ol’ fashion fun with the old white folk. the 18th, my actual birthday, i spent recovering from a number of irish car bombs, and a little shot daniel likes to call rumplemints (which was like taking a shot of altoids, btw). pictures to come.
