I think I'll go...

Today I figured out something that will undoubtedly come in handy in the next few years I’m at TV Guide.

Nobody knows I’m here.

Now, this is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I can pretty much do whatever I want, whenever I want as long as I complete the small amount of responsibilities I’m given each day.

It’s a curse because most of the time I am unbelievably bored.

I don’t think I have ever been so up to date of celebrity gossip and fashion. I read every blog I can get my hands on and I even started really writing for this one.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my job when I have things to do. Most of the time it’s pretty cool stuff. But during the down time, sometimes I just feel invisible in my little cubicle (Actually, it’s more of a medium sized cubicle, I guess). I left for two hours today and no one in my department batted an eye. The only people who said anything were Juanita (an awesome black lady who knows EVERYTHING who sits on my right) and my two friends in the Sales department who sort of winked at me when I came in an hour late from my lunch break.

Now—for the reason of my uncharacteristically late lunch. I took the train down to Soho to apply at Anthropologie. It was the only time I could go—and Mindy is on vacation today—so I did it. And I get 40% off! And they like to work with “part-timers!” And I get 40% off!

Life is starting to get good again.

I wouldn't miss you...I'd go with you. Odds are I'd be even less important than you.
Hehe...remember working at my dad's office?

I love your blog. Don't ever stop.
