How to know you're being profiled
Ok. FaceBook apparently knows too much about me now. It's pandering to my geek side a little too well!
Just got home from a fun night out. Went to a housewarming party in Harlem. A friend who was there was really on tonight with his humor and he was slaying us pretty hard. It was good to reconnect with everyone and also celebrate my friends' new home. Go Shan and Todd! They certainly did well with this one. I'm so happy for them.
Was going to head from there to Williamsburg to see my friends in The Shondes (one of whom's been sending me test donation cards in the mail with prankster quotes like these inside, cracking me up) for their record release party, but unfortunately I started coming down with something so it was back to Astoria with me. Chugged some Emergen-C and a lot of water. Here's hoping I don't get friggin sick again. Now would be an especially bad time but, seeing as how I haven't been able to sleep this week, it wouldn't particularly surprise me if I did.
In other news, I was profiled in Midtown Lunch this week! That was fun. It prompted a funny email from a coworker of mine. He'd been admiring my badass homemade sandwich during the docket presentation earlier in the week and, after that meeting got out, claimed he was going to have to step it up to compete with me. I was like "Ok, it's on!" I forgot that he reads Midtown Lunch, though, so when the profile came out I got an email titled "Oh come on now!" Inside, it read "You have really taken this to a whole new level." Yep. If it was on before then it's definitely on now.
So go me for getting some fun press. If the Wall Street Journal article comes out I'll be sure to mention it. I think it would be a fun surprise for my boss. He often reads the WSJ and gives me clippings from the technology section. It'd be a hoot for him to find his IT Director quoted there talking about FaceBook and Web 2.0.
Glad the weekend's here. I had an abortive start to it this morning when I woke up lazily thinking "Ahh.... I'm so comfortable in my bed. What do I have to do today? Oh right, brunch with Nina. Mmkay. Maybe I'll sleep in a little more. But wait, I have to do some errands before my haircut. I should get up. What time is it? 8:30. Ok, I'll get up." And then it hit: "Oh shit! I'm late for work! You mean I have to work again?!?"
Ugh. So of course I hightailed it out of there. But I have a second shot at my Saturday morning coming up now. Think it'll go better. Time for some Zzs!
