"Corporate Restructuring"
Mature (sounding) words for “Bye bye, internship.” Yep, I was laid off today. A little before noon, Tom asked me to follow him down the hall. For some reason, as soon as he said that, my stomach dropped. We went all the way across the office to a private room with basically the guy in charge of doing this. The short story: corporate restructuring. Not having the work load really...

Eat your veggies!
It’s been gross and rainy for the entire month of June here in New York, and maybe it’s just me, but it makes me want to turn into a couch slug and eat horribly. But, I’ve also just been in a personal funk lately. I don’t know if my actions lead to my mindset or vice versa, but it’s not fun. Actions? Running late in the morning (from not wanting to get out of bed or...

I sort of look at this as an open letter to my parents… Although they would be shocked (and probably not happy) that there’s stuff on the interwebs!!!! about them. - - - - - - - A...

I don't even know what to title this...
But it might as well be “Fuck My Life.” It’s been a really long week for me, generally worrisome and just, blah. I mean, it’s had awesome moments, don’t get me wrong, but right now, I don’t give a damn about those. We’ve had issues with our toilet since we’ve moved in. I thought it was just because my brother and I can have some… intense...

We have a visitor to the blog...
Should I say a returning visitor? Either way, blog readers, meet Emily’s self doubt. Self doubt, say hi to the group (…pair?). This was going to wait until after I cooked dinner, but I kept feeling like it sort of couldn’t wait, and I just wanted to get it out. While I have heard nothing official, I’m pretty sure Li is coming back to work this Monday. Somewhat frustrated no...

Mystery SOLVED!
Holy cow! Every day, people surprise me. So, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, I was perusing Zappos and saw some decent looking sandals that came in my crazy shoe size (7.5 EE) that were only $40. Ordered them, and patiently waited. On Friday of last week, I got a slip from UPS. It oddly said it was the 2nd try delivering the package, and I had no previous slip. So on Tuesday night, I realized...
