I have a not-so-secret addiction to Starbucks that developed somewhere between 2020 and 2021 when I was working at the most unsavory of offices in Queens. I really enjoy drinking things and sugar. Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade was the bright fuchsia gateway drink that my three person work team affectionately coined "pinkedty drinketys", then shortened to … Continue reading Feathers
Leveling up sidewalk exchanges
On this second day of Funemployment 2.0, the guests have left, the tour guiding is done, and I am left to contemplate what I want to do or not do over the next few weeks until I start my new job in January. Trying to be a good partner, I volunteered to help out with … Continue reading Leveling up sidewalk exchanges
I’ll remember it All Too Well
Have you ever lost something and thought how lucky you were that you did? I am going to think twice about complaining of my mistakes and misfortunes from now, especially my self-inflicted missteps, because of a completely unexpected outcome. I have no explanation for how I lost my pink, wired earbuds, but on this day … Continue reading I’ll remember it All Too Well
May Include Nudity
You either have a naked window neighbor or you are the naked window neighbor in the city. I am without question the naked window neighbor. A little too comfortable being myself, I take pride in something most consider taboo which is being in an au natural state of existence. Maybe it is because I am … Continue reading May Include Nudity
Sidewalk on fire
Countless strange happenings unfold outside my window as life plays itself out on the city sidewalks. We live our truths and our lies out there daily. Even the most outlandish behavior garners little to no attention at times. It just depends on when and what it is. I know because when I called 911 on … Continue reading Sidewalk on fire
Working in Midtown
Of course this job is in Midtown, I grunted. And what do you mean I have to take two subway lines to get there? I don't want to have to change trains once I am on one. You don't have to change, I pointed out. It's just ten stops straight downtown to SoHo for you. … Continue reading Working in Midtown
Nah Uh, Not In My City
Did no one know what to do? Or are we, as people, just that sick that we want to see people brandish their fists against each others skulls for curiosity and enjoyment? Why are so many standing there and doing nothing? I'm disgusted. I have no patience for violence and I will not tolerate seeing … Continue reading Nah Uh, Not In My City
Celeb Sightings: 2019 Edition
New York City is brimming with celebrities and famous faces. It is a known fact. With 8.5 million people it is easy to find camouflage in the crowd while being inches away from world-class amenities and quick access to other parts of the world. From NYC a flight to Seattle is about as long as … Continue reading Celeb Sightings: 2019 Edition
Funemployment. Not as fun as you think
When you move without a job and you don't take the job you had with you (telework) then you have to find another one. Ideally you want to find a job before you move, but life does not always present a tidy, straight line directly to the desired goal. It is more a pencil scribble … Continue reading Funemployment. Not as fun as you think
The time I called 911 on my Carbon Monoxide Detector
I am dead. DEAD. Deceased. I died. I am hanging out with Beetlejuice, because I am so dead. That is how dead I am. Beyond dead. In fact, I am writing this postmortem. My cellphone is no longer operational, so you are going to need a Ouija board to contact my dead ass because I … Continue reading The time I called 911 on my Carbon Monoxide Detector
