caithreamTo my dearest friends who happen to be New Yorkers:
HI! Can I come up and visit you? I think it might be good times.
EEEEE! Okay, so, firstly. What dates are best for you? I know I had said previously that I'd like to do it in May, if possible, but, okay, I have this newish job, right? And even though my boss is SUUUPER nice and I am DEFINITELY not an essential component to the workplace, I still feel kinda bad about taking time off so close together, as I just got back from having two days off. But do you think that's okay? The end of March and the end of May aren't TOO close together, yes? UGH, I am such a crazy person, I worry myself sick over stuff like this. I was kiiiinda thinking the last weekend in May, which is Memorial Day weekend, which would be good because 1) yay maybe an extra day off for some people! but bad because 1) it's Memorial Day weekend, which means tons of other people traveling and whatnot too, and 2) some of you might actually have other plans in place this weekend, which only just popped into my head not long ago because I'm not self-centered at ALL, no way.
The only other reason that weekend makes me kinda wishy-washy is that on my work calendar, my boss is scheduled to be out of town May 27th and 28th too, and I was all, OH, PERFECT! 'cause it would make me feel less bad about taking time off, but then that would mean my one other coworker would be all alone to cover things, and I think she pretty much dislikes me already, and taking off then too might make her resent me more. BUT MAYBE SHE'D LIKE ME OUT OF THE OFFICE? Omg idk idk.
HAHA I LOVE HOW I MAKE IT ALL ABOUT ME. Oh my God I'm so sorry. You guys should probably just tell me what dates are good and I'll just suck it up and get on with it, ahaha. First week of June? Second week? Does it start to get pretty hot in June?
And how many days? I've been told that you can get a pretty good trip of NYC in four or five days. I'm kinda leaning towards five 'cause, well, duh. I figured like, a Thursday through Monday because, you know, weekend, and since it's a WONDERFULLY short flight from here to there it could be an early flight Thursday and a late one Monday (or even catch a late flight after work on Wednesday!) BUT, obviously, if that's not ideal, or if you've got something better in mind, let me knooow!
And, of course, suggestions of things to do? You guys are tooootally the experts, having lived there FOREVER, or something, so I thought I'd mostly leave that up to you, ha. I am up for ANYTHING, honestly, whether super stupidly touristy or out of the way.
So, um, yes! I think that's it. And if there's a couch to crash on, that'd be great too. :> :DDD Unless you have some REALLY great advice for how to ask your boss for days off, no, really, seriously, because it scares me to death to do it, boooo.
I GOT A NEW PHOOOONE ON FRIDAY! It's really super duper. I was NOT looking forward to the touch screen, but it's not as bad as I thought. And it has internets and GPS and new fangled-ness! The best part is that the data plan/3G thingy is only $10 a month. So they say, I guess; we'll see if any crazy charges have been added to the bill after the first couple months. BUT YAY I LOVE IT.
Also, I finished The Hunger Games and I promised![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wendy on the bus to LAX that I'd tell her when I did, SO I AM. :D Omg it was AMAZING. It's one of those books when you turn the last page and you're like FFFFFUUUUU but then you realize there's a SEQUEL and one AFTER THAT and it makes you so so happy inside. The whole way through is so TENSE, and I cannot believe how attached to the characters I am now. Thank God I'm only fourth on the hold list for the next one at the library.
I hope liking My Morning Jacket is not douchebag-y, because their song "Touch Me I'm Going to Scream part 2" is SEWWWW amazing. It reminds me of the Alan Parson's Project, which is weird, don't ask.
