Lulu
another day, another dog...
This is Lulu, the vice president of sales and merchandising's petite. Not pictured: Ellie, the other one of the bosses "girls." I am temping at Juicy Couture as an executive admin assistant. This has involved getting Starbucks every morning, picking up mascara, stamps, and 50% less fat Herr's Air Popped Popcorn for the VP, my boss. I also was sent out with a wad of cash to pick up doggy medicine at the vet and dog food at the pet store. After completing my doggy errands, I stopped to get a hot dog before hailing a cab on the corner. It was a beautiful day and as we headed back to the Empire State building from the Upper East Side, I rolled down the windows and enjoyed the breeze while noshing on my tasty treat. I didn't realize until we were half way back to work that I had left my cell phone behind. I had the taxi take me back to the hot dog cart, but he didn't have my phone. Retracing my steps I found it back at the pet store. I returned to hail another cab and the very concerned vendor was so happy that I had found my phone that he offered me another free hot dog! A very doggy day.
By the way, I'm not complaining about the lack of admin in my assisting. I would rather run errands than sit in a cubicle all day. And the VP's dogs are actually really sweet little things despite my natural distrust of yappy lapdogs. This is a Juicy job for sure!

The Stuff People Throw Away.....
Yes folks that is a Sony plasma flat-screen TV. 50" I think! This TV costs around $2000 new, yet its just thrown haphazardly to the sidewalk with the rest of the garbage. Melissa and I saw this in lower Manhattan.

Working girl
I'm beat. I've had the never ending cold to beat all colds. I've been sick for 2 solid weeks and finally tomorrow I'm going to see a doctor because my cough, wheezing and sore throat are getting worse instead of better. I am so sick of being sick. (I think Riff might be sick of it, too.)
This week I assisted in a really cool loft near the Empire State Building. Here's the view from the fire escape:
And here's what you see when you look down:
The photographer and his digital assistant had flown in from London to shoot for a company that makes bows and hair clips for little girls. The campaign was to shoot girls doing mischievous things like writing with crayon on a wall or stealing a cupcake while mom's back is turned (all with bows in their hair, of course.) The girls were all terribly cute and we had a lot of fun goofing off.
I might just steal a cupcake for myself...
Today I worked a temp assignment in the Empire State Building. It was weird. I'll write more about it soon. When I'm feeling better.
