To being an "us"--for once--instead of a "them"
Happy December!And there go my plans for the evening. Well, some of them. Among other things, I was planning to take a bath--the bathroom is finally finished, and our tub is amazing. A huge jacuzzi. So, I was going to take a nice, long bath with a good book. But... I got home and discovered that something is leaking, so using that bathroom will result in a flood. Which means that we have no working shower in the house right now. It had better be fixed tomorrow; that's all I can say!
At least we've got a carpenter now who's actually getting things done. There's progress! And, when we're all gone for Christmas, hopefully a lot will be finished. Which, by the way, is only a few weeks away. Time flies. It's amazing.
This city at Christmas is phenomenal. I'll post pictures. Definitely. The store windows--Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks, Barney's, Bergdorf--are all unbelievable. I mean, they have great windows all year, but they really outdo themselves at Christmastime. It's pretty cool just to walk around and look at it all. Especially since the weather has been so amazing. Still no snow. I think we're supposed to get some over the weekend, but we'll see.
Ah yes. The other news. On Tuesday, I'm giving my 2 weeks' notice at Barnes and Noble (in case you didn't already know), and I'm looking for something that's more in line with what I want to do and what I need to learn. I didn't come to New York to do a job that I could do at home, and I'm becoming increasingly frustrated and dissatisfied with it. It's not what I'm here for, so I'm not going to do it anymore. I'll finish out the last few weeks before I leave for Christmas, but then, I'm finished.
That's Tuesday. On Monday, I have an interview for an internship with this theatre company, and we'll see how that goes! I've applied for internships and/or part-time jobs with about 8 different companies, so we'll see if I hear back from any others this week. With Vital, I've applied for either an Artistic or General Management internship, so on Monday, I guess I'll find out some more specifics on what both positions entail, and hopefully I'll be a perfect fit for one or the other (and it'll be a perfect fit for me!).

Good luck on your interviews! I know some of those places will call you back. :) And I think it is a great idea that you do something more you and more why you went there. Good stuff!!
