Disgustingly hot today. You step right out of the shower, and then you need to step right back in! I hate NYC in the Summer and Winter! To bad Spring and Fall last all of two seconds here in the Big Apple.

2pm till close shift today. Got to seep a little later, before getting ready, and doing errends around the house. Also have to...

Day off today. Although I have to do a months worth of scheduling for work.

And of course, errends, errends, errends.

Hope to catch Mr & Mrs Smith later today.

Shitty day today. In every sense of the word. Got food poisoning from lunch today. My best friend was the toilet. But the toilet at work is not who you want to be friends with.

Didn't even ring up a dime today. But my staff did very well.

Still running at home now. I'm ringing wet (have not taken my temp yet), have a headache...

I will never learn never to trust anyone. Mulder was right--Trust no 1. Still not sure if that meant no one or Number 1, but either way--he was right. And either way I have always been wrong by trusting. Be it close friends (insert the prefix ex here) or close work associates. I will never learn.

Nobody here on SG. I will just leave it...

Long ass day! Had to to in to work for an 8am meeting that lasted an hour and a half, take the train back home and then return back at work at 1:45 pm and now just got home at 1:30 am!

I'm bushed!

Slept like a baby last night. Bought a 5200 BTU airconditioner yesterday for 89 bucks! I had an air conditioner in my room before, but it hasn't beed turned on in 20 years, and I was afraid to use it. I've been away for ten years, and ten years before that I moved into the basement, so it was never on. Now that I've moved...

Had a great day today. I sold a young couple the perfect engagement ring for them. They chose the setting and then the center diamond, and you should have seen the look on her face after we set it for her--she loved it! This is the reason why I do what I do for a living until my writing career takes off. The look on...

Well, today is our "soft" opening, with our grand opening on Friday. I'm really excited, but nervous as hell as well.

I have to give a diamond presentation to the District Manager today. I can do presentations backwards and forwards, but for some reason, he makes me nervous when I do a presentation for him.

Keep fingers and toes crossed, that the next two weeks...

Pulled a twelve and a half hour shift last night. Probably will do the same again today. Can't wait to get back to more normal hours once the store actually opens.

Had the hottest Kung Pao Shrimp I've ever eaten at Wok & Roll of all places. Normally I hate fast Chinese food, but this was awesome.

Not going to have another day off till...

Got to meet some of the big wigs today. Really nice people. Worked a 12 hour shift! I really have to say this is the nicest crew I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

They ordered in pizza for us. Not great for my diet, but it was delicious.

Dogtired. LIfted heavy boxes and lots of other manual labor getting the new store ready for opening. I have tomorrow off, and I am looking forward to resting up for the rest of the hectic week!

Took my 79 year-old mom out to Olive Garden for lunch yesterday (her favorite place, believe it or not) then to Friday's for dinner where she knocked back a Absolut rocks with lime, devoured Shrimp, Ribs and Chicken covered in Jack Daniel's Sauce. Then we went across the way to the UA in Sheepshead Bay to see MADAGASCAR--which was funny as hell--even though mom kept...
