sat in the same chair, in the same room, with the same people, looking at the same deck. FOR THE PAST 8 HOURS.

Good thing:
1) I enjoyed what we were going over.
2) The executive kitchen with the keurig and nice tasting coffee has access through this room.
3) The view of the Chicago skyline from the 22nd floor boardroom
4) We got free lunch from Potbellys

BUT WORK TALK IS BORING

sooo moving on- got to see my friend Kim +1 to my Chicago circle!!

While walking home from Ace to get a key cut Nick and I ran into two people on the streets. Yea we run this city...kk not really. We can't say "we run this city" until we go to Parrots per definition of Nick. But that was why I was meeting up with Kim. To give her a key to my Purdue apartment so she can get the table she bought off my roommate Leslie. When we got back to the house Nick goes "You should try out the key and see if it works." Sorry Nick but I feel that walking to West Lafayette (since I have no car or Zipcar account yet) would not have a nice ROI for how much my time sells for now.

But enough speak about today I have exciting news from last night's TRIVIA at Wild Goose. My team, and by my team I mean Rupert Murdoch's Ninja Wife team almost won!! We were first going into the second round, which came with an award of SocoLime shots. And let me be brief in describing this trivia but it was nothing of the sort I had ever seen before. First it was no question answer Trivia Pursuit. This was mind stumpers, rhyme time, riddle working, and hands-on activities trivia. Sadly we came in third....but nothing beats an amazing night of trivia with 80% of my friends from Chicago (aka 4 people; none of which follow my blog!).

Well anyways I best be singing off Miss Rolston here has a date tonight! And that's how the cookie crumbles Lakeview!

Day 8. Nothing is more exciting than learning about content migration. I know all you readers must be so jealous. Take note of my dual facing sarcasm; mocking my depressing follower count.

Last night me and some fellow Acquitians (AG employees) went to the ComedySportz DrekFest. Thinking I was in for a good laugh or two, boy was it a surprise when I didn't even chuckle once. Came to find out that the show for the night was the finals for worst 10 minute play ever written. The night wasn't a complete waste- WE FINALLY GOT INTERNET! No more wifi surfing and over consumption of coffee just to abuse the free internet at Starbucks and Caribou Coffee. I have as of yet to use it but given that our house is structured similarly to a bunker with no internet reception entering or leaving this is great news. Almost great enough to be posted on the GM media page that we just did a deep dive into for Adobe CQ demos.

Welp back to training! Over and out, keep it classy readers.

I think I have a crush on my blog. Thank goodness Acquity Group's onboarding process included training on html since I have forgotten everything from this semester past. I've been working these past few weeks trying to tailor the template I downloaded to reflect me, myself, and I.

I now sit in the AG office- 22nd floor of Olgivie Transportation Center. Got to love the location since I'm such a foody and we sit atop a huge food court. However that's not what had me hooked. On my first visit into the office, I had a serene Devil Wears Prada moment. Not only did I have to use a badge to access the elevator lobby, but upon the opening of the elevator doors I was ushered through glass doors to an aped lobby from the movie set. Thank goodness the experience was sans Anna Wintour...I mean Miranda Priestly.

These were not the two reasons I took this job even though they rank highly on the list. But speaking on the subject I am so glad I did. My transition to Chicago has been seamless. I have a crazy energetic roommate you keeps me running for my sanity- love you Nick. Thanks to him, in the past two weeks I have come to be the sole caretaker (I know the fish is joint custody...but you have no case) of Frankie Muniz the beta and Flami the inflatable pink flamingo I found in my shower. But more on this topic later.

The workday is over and I am starving! Something about not moving fr 8 hours in a room set at a temperature of 55 makes me ravenous when the work bell tolls. I will return soon!

HAPPY 5th of JULY!!

It's been a week exactly since I moved into my lofty condo in Loring Park. From my bedroom I get a sweet view of the interstate and the creepy Sunshine 24 Hour Buffet. Surprisingly the former is quite useful in determining the latest time I can get up, battle through traffic and make it to work still on time. I have one roommate named Delia, pictures to follow. However Marquette Place is full of BSC interns. I met most of them at the daily continental breakfast on the 4th floor. Which sounds more amazing than it truly is. Unless donuts for bfast every morning is your dig you might want to still invest in morning groceries.

It's been nine months since my last post. somethings have changed. i no longer live in the united kingdom, a topic on which i am still sitting on the fence when the question of how i am adapting arises. my tutor made an interesting comment the other day. see i am left handed and she said that a left handed person has the ability to best adapt because we have been adapting since birth. i asked her what i have been adapting to and she said living in a right handed persons world. maybe i see her point but when i really think about it there isn't much i have had to adapt to. a few instances come to mind. i am forced to use my right hand when operating a mouse, a car, or most game controllers. When I was younger and went to sports camps they never had a left handed club. i don't think that is the sole reason for my complete lack of skill in the sport but it could be a contributing factor. i also suck at bowling and there is no left handed argument there.

other things that have changed. i would like to announce that i have the cleanest driving record of the family. to everyone that knows me this will come as a complete shock but my mom and dad have gotten into wrecks since my european departure. and i know what comments the peanut gallery will begin to shriek, and yes i have only been back on the road for 4 months but I have been an agile and defensive driver thus far, let me add lucky as well. i have two new kitties Hogwarts and Blondie. Blondie's mother was a weed addict he is very demure and always has the im laid back swagger. Hogwarts mother had a different drug preference and its obvious she is a crack kitty. she is very excited and energized at all times. she is the first cat i have seen that jumps in the air to be petted.

right now i am home for fall break, a short period of time purdue grants to us students so that we may attempt to regain our sanity before hell opens up. i spent the first two glorious days locked in studio trying to catch up on my senior collection. i drove home yesterday and within 5 minutes had a plate in the microwave. i didn't realize how bland my diet had become. lean cuisines and fiber one. i really should try to diversify my food selection. my mom's refrigerator was the equivalent of DZ in my childhood. last night i went to a party one of my mom's friends was hosting. a one year wedding anniversary, pregnancy, house finished, husband gaining citizenship party. it was my first grownup party to say the least and i am quite proud of my showing. i was not raucously drunk like the lady downstairs, i made good conversation, and i was not a dessert table stalker like many...ahem father. it was neat to make talk with adults on adult topic things and pretend the most exciting event in my life was the awkward conversation i had with the kroger fruit manager this past week. they found the idea of breakfast club to be the most abstract idea and died laughing when i showed them past costume pictures. overall great night seeing as i finished it with episodes 1,2, and 3 of Seinfeld Season 3. Joe Dimaggio is a dunker?

Today my mom took me flu shot hunting thank goodness CVS and Walgreens were out I despise needles and really don't see a problem with lying in bed for a week with the most amazing excuse. Family fun day also consisted of traveling to Anderson Orchard in Mooresville. Weirdest concept is they have free test taste apples for each species so that you buy a peck of your favorite. So after four free apples, apple cobbler with ice cream, and apple cider my family and I left quite satisfied with ourselves and headed down the road for some more food. Gray's how I missed thee. Never disappoints.

At home I made myself sit down and read the current Time cover to cover. Topics from Obama's healthcare reform ideas and how they don't really fix the issue just patch the cracks, to how housing subsidies are becoming ridiculous in concept and in governmental cost credits are all over my head but its good to inform yourself so you can at least pretend your well educated on current issues. What I did gather is that I want to see the Coen brothers' latest film A Serious Man and that if America is to point fingers at a troubled regime in Iran the man to blame may not be the current President Ahmadinejad, who seems to be the poster boy of Iran but really only controls the domestic economy, but actually the Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei. A man I would most likely run from if he was to ever to come within 100 miles of my secluded and sheltered life.

Signing off from Avon
