Weird day

Had a very weird day today-was not assigned to anything so was supposed to just sit in the office and wait for something to do....So after reading yahoo, wsj, jsonline, and other news stories, youtubing and other fun stuff I was finally done with the workday!

One of my workfriends and I went to his place on the train (which takes forever!) and then got ready for his friend's surprise birthday party-it was pretty fun! We ended up getting deep dish pizza, cake and played apples to apples so it was a really fun night-and then...

Went to hop on the bus and after about 10 minutes on the bus the bus driver basically says it's the 'last stop' even though it's not...and makes us get off the bus and is like 'get on this bus'. So me and this other guy get kicked off and I have no idea where I am and have no idea what to do. I tried finding the train but there was no stop nearby and decided to catch this 'bus' which showed up so much later. This bus turned out to be about an 1-1:30 long-still had NO idea where I was, and ended up on Michigan Avenue where I then walked like 30 minutes home....So yeah, Good day-bad night

OMG!

SOMEONE STOLE MY APPLE! i put it in a bag with a POST IT NOTE with my name on it and someone stole it out of the office fridge! I'm super mad because I just bought that apple and it looked so delicious....

...also my boss had some yogurt stolen last week...how do we get the culprit?

February!

I can't believe it's February already! Work has been pretty long these past couple of weeks-working about 10 to 11 hours. So I haven't been really doing anything except work and then come home and zone out watching-
Monday-The Bachelor
Tuesday- House repeats
Wednesday- Lost
Thursday- The Office


At least I haven't gotten into 24 this season!

ALSO the highlight of my day today was when I asked the two guys on my team what they were doing for Valentine's Day and my senior goes "SHIT!"

OMG! I nearly died laughing! Then they were like, "what day is it?" and I said Saturday so they were happy about that...but still it was SO funny!

Copiers and Printers galore!

So it's been awhile-sorry to all my 'faithful'' readers out there! (PS to meg-thanks for the savage love tip-it's been hell with out it!)

But matt came down this weekend and it was AWESOME! Besides getting to see my bf and hang with him, it was just really awesome to be able to go out with someone in the city. Thursday he came down and we went to the art museum down the street! And all for free-thursdays from 5-8 are free, so we did a 'power aaaaaart' hour and ran around the place seeing all the cool art.

Then the next day I had to go into work at McDonalds (and no, there are not any fry machines...sadly) and it wasn't the best day-was kinda tired after 50 hours that week, and then had to deal with rush hour traffic in Chicago (also not fun) but Matt and I hung out that night and ate chinese-yay!

Then Saturday we went to the Shedd aquarium which was REALLY cool-and i got a discount because the oceanium isn't open till June, PLUS I'm a Chicago resident now ;)

Then we lazed about and went out to Gino's East Pizzaria and waiting outside in line...to wait INSIDE in a line. Finally we got in and wrote our names on the wall-everyone does it-I can't wait till Matt puts the pictures up -hint!

Sunday we went to some Jewish diner and I kept texting Brandon about the place! And the burgers were REALLY good. But then Matt left-sad!

But on the bright side, I'm with a new team this week and I really like this group-it's only the 3 of us, so it's nice to work close with people. However, what I've learned so far on this internship is that the most frustrating part of this internship is the COPIER/PRINTER! OMG! I feel like I"m in Office Space. There's 4 main printers on one floor and everyday at least one gets jammed and then everyone prints on one printer and then it's full...but I think that's it for today, back to the bachelor!
