My lone post from NYC
August 13th, 2008 Posted in General | 3 Comments »Long time no post…
Anyway, I’m just starting week two of my three weeks in NYC for work. Some non-work highlights included seeing Eddie Vedder in concert at the United Palace Theater, a Mets game at Shea - most likely my last, and seeing a whole bunch of friends and old co-workers.
So, in no particular order, a few things that have been on my mind:
Staying in the heart of NYC has just about made me want to kill myself. I strongly dislike being surrounded by tons and tons of tourists who are pretty clueless, while I know where I am, what I’m doing and how to get there. Add to that, my hotel’s only source of free internet is in the lobby. After a 12 hour day of work, sitting down there is the last thing I want to do, but I also don’t want to be “that” person taking care of her internet business while at work.
Shea Stadium. As I used the woman’s room while at the game last week, it dawned on me that I’m not really gonna miss ya, but that I will still most likely buy a pair of your seats. For those who have been to my apartment in Chicago, I know that they’ll look pretty sweet on the back patio or in the back yard.
Citi Field. Excited to see the finished product. While I am not any sort of season ticket holder (part-time packages included), it’s still pretty crappy to not know what type of options await you next year.
Ok, back to work…or something.
