The Katz Meow

I am *GASP!* working today AND I have another interview on Monday. The interview earlier this week went so well that I got a polite e-mail saying thanks, but no thanks. The thing is that the job and location turned out to be so shabby that when I walked out, it made me so HAPPY that I could WALK OUT AND NEVER RETURN. I went home, whistling. If someone tells me I don't have the exact qualifications for data entry, I can live with that. In fact, I'll take it as a good sign.

The next job interview is at a place I'd actually like going to--so send me your prayers, good vibes, and wishes of luck. I need them!

As of today, I am sitting in a quiet reception area, with views of the rooftops of midtown and original paintings by Alex Katz. I gasped when I saw them. They are BEAUTIFUL. One, at the far end of the room, between to conference rooms is VERY famous. I think it was on the cover of one of his books. Can you believe it? Incredible art--well known art in a place that acts as decoration between conference rooms. The decorator has FABULOUS taste, but I think I may be among the few whoever stopped and to spend hours staring at them. There are worse ways to spend a day than alone with Alex Katz paintings.

I arrived at the job this morning and was told to be prepared to find an alternate route home, as the tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center (a block away) is happening tonight. I almost laughed out loud because I've been literally using the tree lighting ceremony as an example of what you wouldn't catch me anywhere near in New York--due to the amount of crowds that you have to deal with on any REGULAR day. Now, look at me! I'm at the red dot of the bullseye!

In other news don't forget to order a Great Gals Calendar by December 14 to ensure delivery before Christams and the New Year! You can do so easily, by pressing the BUY NOW button on the sidebar. Not to conratulate myself or anything, but this may be my favorite of the 5 I've made.

OR, if New York, you can buy them at my SHOW TOMORROW! Won't you come and hear me play songs?

Dec. 1, 8pm
Micky's Blue Room
171 Avenue C (between 10th & 11th)
New York, New York

I am wishing you all something surprisingly sweet, be it an Alex Katz painting, a sweet job interview, or a new way home.
