If you are slightly pissed about the AIG spa retreat...

So I am sure most of y’all saw that AIG folks took a nice cushy retreat to reward the bang up job they did with their company. Well, as a taxpayer, I am so thoroughly upset with them. I mean really, when is the last time anyone of you guys had a spa day? Anyways, if you are upset like I am I think that you should write a nice email to the federal board expressing your feelings. Just my two cents…for what that is worth. http://federalreserve.gov/feedback.cfm

what had happen was...

so now i get it when people say, "well it just happened." here is my story...

i have a girlfriend, J. and a few months ago J introduced me to her friend T. me and T exchanged numbers that night, but didn't really call or hang out...i didn't even worry about calling T until J just wasn't available in my time of need. anyways, long story short, me and T having been hanging out and have become good friends and J is no where in the picture. me and T have a lot in common. we are both in school. we both are very stable and kinda predictable. and we get along very well.

i feel bad becuz i have become good friends with T and we hang out without J all the time, but J is never available. she is always cancelling our plans and she is just not available anymore. T is available and consistent.

i feel like i am cheating on my friend. but it just happened, well kinda. it started out with a simple movie outing...now it has progressed into studying at coffee shops together. and neither one of us has told J about these outings. i am gonna hope that she doesn't find out. but feel like we are growing apart anyways.

so i admit, i am cheating on my friend, with a new shiny friend. and it just happened...i didn't mean to become good friends like we did. i feel soooo guilty though.

Hot pick up lines this week...

So I was coming home from work and the guy who parks beside me in the garage was getting out of his car, I spoke...cause I am nice girl. The guy told me that he was new in the building, he introduced himself, and proceeded to ask me which apartment that I lived in. WTF??? Who does that. He said that I seem nice and he wanted to have a friend in the building....nuh-uhn Larry. Not witcho African ass...gonna try and marry me or something. I told dude "No" and that I had a boyfriend. And he asked me if he lived with me. I gotta tell you, he was persistent...but ummm, no. No way ever.

Wednesday I was walking to my car so that I could get me some lunch. I was wearing some sexy ass heels and the security guy at my job noticed. He pulled up beside me in his truck and this is how the convo went....

random guy: you wear shoes like that all the time?
me: yea.
random guy: you gotta a boyfriend?
me: *busts out laffin* then I tell him, yes, I have a boyfriend. And he loves it when I wear these shoes.
random guy: Well I wanted to let you know that I liked the way you walked across the parking lot.

Not sure why the chubby security guard thought I would be impressed with that sad line...it didn't work tho.

Lastly, yesterday's sad pick up line. I am an admissions advisor for a school. This guy that clearly has a crush wanted to give me his cousin's information so that I could help him get in school. Cool...I like warm leads. But then he started to hit on me, and it was sad. He told me that right now he was riding the bus, but he was about to buy a benz. (OK...not impressed.) Then he told me that he makes FIVE figures...that's right people, FIVE figures. (OK...really not impressed.) Then he asked me to lunch, I had to nip this shit in the bud right then and there. I let him know that I appreciate the lead, but I am strictly here for school and to help folks get in and that is it. Hopefully that is it for that fake coogi jean wearing dude.

It seems like weird dudes are coming out of the wood work. It gives me a chuckle, but then it makes me wonder what kind of vibe I am putting out into the world.
