I was so freakin amazing as a filing temp that they promoted me from HR and I have now been the personal assistant to the President/CEO of Aéropostale! I work only with the top leaders of the company and am rubbing elbows with people (others who have worked there for years are too scared to talk to). I have succeeded in charming all of the executive branch of the tween friendly company. They love me! And it's easier, more fun annnnd perks! Like todays catered executive board meeting (absolutely delicious, cake and everything!). It's going great. Also, Fridays are done at 2 and every other Thursday is open sundae bar by baskin robbins.
Other than that I have been trying to do summer things. Last Saturday was the most amazing adventure packed Saturday ever. Greg and I met up early and rode our bikes to the Hudson to go kayaking for free! I love it there and it was great until we were called out of the water because the helicopter crash happened right in front of us. We got locked in the pier and spent some time wandering around in our bathingsuits making friends with old hippy kayak men. It was fantastic, minus the death. We had binoculars and could see the wreckage. It was very sad.
Then we rode around the bottom of the island, stopping at all the necessary secret gardens, then made our way to governors island (neither of us had been before!).
What an awesome place!!! It was like escaping to a different time and place completely. There were war reenactment camps and soldiers and tents and drunkards in huge forts. We spent a good hour learning African dance (Senegal) in a field with a bunch of other women. We rode our bikes through castles and dungeons and practiced sommersaults in thr empty grasses that would be a moat. We walked through new artist designed Eco mini golf courses, and rang giant windchimes in thr fields. Magical, magical place.
Other fun activities have included dining with the UN of friends and almost getting on a boat at the seaport. PS 1 - the swimming pool and tarantula thing were awesome but other than that... And a failed goat cheese tomato pastry pizza. Will try again. I'm still working on mapping my memories.
Tuesday was reservations at Peter Luger but Dirk stormed out when he realized they didn't take card and we never made it to the table. Went to Wolfgang instead which was amazing as always. There's nothing like seeing a great steak on your plate and being surrounded by eastern European waiters dishing out creamed spinach and mushrooms and potatoes! Delicious!
The next night was Freemans... Check it out. At the end of Freemans Alley it's a truly charming and homey organic and hip American restaurant, with atmosphere that surpases the culinary quality. Reservations are needed but it's perfect for a date! http://freemansrestaurant.com/
Oh man gotta get back to work, the free food apparently never ends!
