Fresh from the wire
Note to self: must read.
At Bottomless Closet, a New York non-profit that helps women move from welfare to jobs, Kendall Farrell said she may cut back on workshops and look elsewhere for funds as Wall Street money dries up.Well, I am looking for some comments.
Groceries
I went to the grocery store last week. I zipped up and down the aisles searching for great deals. I could have saved 1.8 cents per roll if I bought the 12-pack of toilet paper. Coupons seem to be a way of life here.
French food
On Friday G. and I went to a loud restaurant downtown called Bistro Gerard for
dinner. It has been serving French food for over 20 years. I heard their
sirloin steak is excellent. We ordered a bottle of wine. I chose the coq au vin.
The meal left me wanting to explore the menu more and return as soon as I can. The whole dinner was just great.

Ooh yeah
Here are some hot pix. If anyone out there wants to tip me for some new
models. it would be much appreaciated.
Dinner
Last Friday's dinner was with K. at a loud restaurant called Organic Tree. I went for the shredded carrot, quesadilla and chickpeas, which was delicious.
The service was a highlight. Our waiter was always on top of what we needed and was easily accessible. We will definitely go there again.
Work
Oh well, this morning I was briefed that I am supposed to reshedule for next
Tuesday. I will need to get a copy of the DVL for the complete group. Our
networks increased tremendously, so I was told. Progress is slow, but the MND
people are very cooperative. Yesterday I attended a meeting with the people
from MND discussing the cross-platform technologies. The MND project will be
terminated next month. Never mind. My supervisor heard that I am going to
repurpose the vortals. I will have to generate the impactful platforms. Rumours say that I have to keep working on the MND and cannot start with DVL next week. I heard from G. last Thurday that I would not be able to make it back until Friday. We have to cut budget for the MND project. I'm not going to cancel the MND test and have to attend some seminar, so I was told by a colleague. Why hasn't anyone told me?
This is neat!
This is fantastic news . Marsellus Wallace to be Kojak. Hard, pipe-hitters expected go to work on homes here with pair of pliers, blow torch and lollipops.

At work today
I am getting a new office PC. I plan to go for training. The BMZ account has
become profitable. Last Thurday I was briefed that I'm not going to transform
the next-generation relationships and have to reshedule the BMZ meeting. Oh
well. A colleague told me that I will have to get a copy of the VCD DemoDot for
the complete team. The BMZ project will be terminated next Wednesday. I was
told that I am going to modify stuff for the BMZ.
