Had a great weekend!
June 9 - Friday
Started calling Citi MAs in earnest, trying to get a clue as to the rotation-picking process before leaving for vacation. Was lucky. Got Columbia alumni MT at 9:30AM and DF at 11:30AM. They are so nice and helpful, I feel so much better now that I have a direction and people to contact. After leaving several voicemails with current MAs, I got a call from an MA who was willing to meet with me that afternoon at 2PM. I readily agreed.
Arrived in LIC at 2PM, met with wonderful and friendly 2005 MA who was nice enough to bring me to meet with another MA in a group that I was particularly interested in. All in all, I met with 4 incredibly friendly MAs and met a ton of people. Unfortunately all the Managers were either gone for the weekend or busy in their offices, I guess I'll have to set up meetings to speak with them. However, I am feeling great because I now know which direction I would like to go in and have so much more background information as to the structure of the MA program as well as Citi Cards overall.
That night, one bad thing happened.
The Target patio table arrived, I wanted to have it built before Ricky got home so I could impress him with it's beauty. :)
I set up shop near the door next to our big mirror, yes, bad choice. Just as Ricky was unlocking the door to come home, one of the parts of the table I was working on pushed the mirror too close to the wall and it came smashing down on me. To prevent the mirror from breaking, I stuck my hand under it at the last moment. The mirror didn't break, but the middle finger of my right hand caught the brunt of the fall. It hurt like a M%^@#$!! I thought my finger was broken. Turns out it was ok, but he pain was quite overwhelming. I stood up to get away from the mirror and table parts and started blacking out, I sat down, still black around the edges of my vision, so I lay down on the floor and took deep breaths. After maybe 10 minutes, the pain started to subside, I could move my finger (slightly) so I knew it wasn't broken.
After I recovered, Ricky took me out to La Isla for dinner. I think partially to help me recover from my almost broken finger predicament. I had steak, was craving it for a while. Yummy! I felt much better after that.
June 10 - Saturday
Ricky slept late, as usual, but for some reason I woke up at 8:30 and couldn't fall back asleep. As result was groggy most of the day. Instead, I put together the rest of the patio dining table and manuevered it outside. My finger still hurt, but not so bad now.
To celebrate the new table, we grilled rack of ribs leftover from our Memorial Day grill party as lunch. Was good, but a little too burnt. Ricky is not that good with the grill. Afterwards, we went to Edgewater to the Sharper Image to buy the Scooba.
A friend, VW, had bought us a Roomba Discovery as a housewarming present. A wonderful present, but unfortunately we had already bought one for ourselves. Therefore, we returned it and got a Scooba instead. V. happy!
Afterwards, we drove over to the cinema just in time to catch Over the Hedge. Hilarious animated feature about woodland animals venturing over the hedge to gather food from humans in suburbia. Loved how the movie made fun of humans (our lives are all about food!)
Met with the crew for dinner in Flushing.
June 11 - Sunday
Had every intention of taking part in the Da Vinci Code hunt in the Met (from an email that Nancy sent). Ended up being late. Met R & U, C and J at Sushi Samba for brunch. It was a pretty amazing brunch! I didn't even kn ow Sushi Samba had brunch!
They offered a "family style" menu for groups of at least 2 people. You choose three courses from column A and another three from column B and it's $15 each person. Ricky and I decided to share and we had Brazilian Warm Churros, two types of rolls, steak and eggs and french toast. Six courses for two people! But the food was delicious.
After lunch we figured we'd go to The Met and see how the hunt was going. Unfortunately, this is the same day as the Puerto Rico Day parade and the area by the Met was a big mess. The crowds were gregarious, and I think a lot of them were drunk...haha... Besides to get to 82nd and 5th, we had to walk to 72nd St. first just to get through the police barricades. Was nuts! So decided to give up and go home. Too bad...next time! :)
