Nice Hedge Fund has a new receptionist. She is friendly if a bit overzealous and perhaps suffering from a mild case of alopecia, but she seems perfectly capable of answering the phone and assigning my meetings to conference rooms and that’s really all I care about. Also, she studies Numerology.
According to her (and my birth date), I’m a One and that makes me a leader with a strong drive for success, a creative thinker with a rapid mind, and given to frustration when things are not developing as rapidly as I would like (read: impatient). Well, duh, numbers! The planets and stars and plain old hanging out with me could have told you that. But wait, there’s more. New Receptionist told me that 2007 is a development year for me, full of new beginnings. Sure, I’ll give you that – new job, new roommate, new boyfriend, new friends, new sport, etc. Then she asked, “Are you engaged?” See, according to Numerology, 2008 is a Two year for me, during which I’m supposed to get married. So let’s get cracking on this, Numbers, ok? Because if I’m getting married any time soon let me know so I can, like, stop eating burgers and start getting facials or whatever brides-to-be do to prep for The Big Day. I’m assuming there will be a handbook included with that diamond ring.
Be so proud of me! I’ve been working diligently on my grad school applications all week (and concurrently ignoring work completely). I requested letters of recommendation, downloaded forms, started to fill some applications online, and made a chart of due dates. Also, fuck, applying to school is expensive! One has to seriously consider the futility of paying a hundred bucks to apply for a program that accepts FOUR students a year. It seems Jackie’s Laser Hair Removal Fund will now be redirected to Jackie’s Applying to Grad School Fund. The real question is: with which would I be most satisfied in ten years? On second thought, let’s not go there.
Happy Friday, lovers. It’s raining, it’s pouring, I’d rather be snoring, but instead I’m leaving work early and going to the gym.

have you been reading Harry potter too?
Maybe the numerologist heard about you and Glaze going to the reunion as an engaged couple and got confused! By the way, we have just spent any money that would have gone to a wedding, so you might not want to rush things!
Nice one mom...i mean Mrs. Orlando....crap.
what do my numbers say....sweetie.
You hear that, Glazey honey? We maybe have to postpone our nuptials for a bit, but hey, free honeymoon at the Jersey Shore!
