I haven’t not worked since I was 17 years old, so I’m relishing this.
My first day not contributing to the Gross National Product began with a very long shower, a facial and fresh strawberries — my totally organic experience.
I’ve since turned into the Mad Packer and tackled the hall closet, living room and bathroom. Dear god, I have so much stuff. Useless stuff. For instance, I don’t use hair products, yet there under the bathroom sink is a plethora (yes, you may say I have a plethora) of mousse and gel-ish products. And velcro rollers. All reminders of my ultra high maintenance phase. We won’t even touch the big drawer o’ forgotten cosmetics.
I’m getting pretty giddy about the whole moving thing. New job, new apartment. I’m also pretty nervous about next Monday, if you must know. I haven’t been the new kid in years. I had the Monkey Firm all broken in and I imagine that half the shit I pulled there just won’t fly on Fifth Avenue. I suppose I’ll simply have to reinvent my shit. In fact, this whole move seems something of a reinvention.
Wonder who I’ll pretend to be this time.
no need to pretend to be someone else, daaahling. wonderful, marvelous, magnificent you is enough and then some! enjoy your time off.
That’s no fun. Try Wonder woman. Show up for work, costume and all.
Puns about what will fly on Fifth avenue are left as an exercise for the reader.
Reinventing your shit is part of the fun!
WONDER WOMAN!
WONDER WOMAN!
ALL THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU…
AND THE POWER YOU POSSESS…
IN YOUR SATIN TIGHTS…
FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS…
AND THE OLD RED, WHITE, AND BLUE…..OOOH!
One good thing about moving is that it can help you decide what you really want/need to keep. Of course, it helps if you have just enough time to make the critical keep/toss decisions – otherwise, everything ends up getting packed, to be sorted out at some mythical time “later.”
Good luck with the move!
be paris hilton for a couple of days…then you’ll look great to them when you morph back into the real you.
I hear you on the hair product thing…i still shark my head and wonder…but others have used them when they have spent the night…so maybe it was worth it!
