DAILY UPDATE

ugh, i haven't updated in over two months. i think that's a record. sorry. in my defense, i was in the process of quitting my job and getting myself a new one. special thanks go out to my super awesome girlfriends who sent me cards to say congratulations for finally leaving EY. i find it interesting that my friends, family and boyfriend are even more happy/relieved than i am. that says a lot, i think. i'll leave it at that. i'm going back to KPMG, which is a bit ironic, seeing as how my response to switching firms a year ago would have begun with, "ummmm, over my dead body..." haha. i guess it's just a reminder to never say never, because it pretty much guarantees that whatever you're saying never about is going to materialize sometime in the near future. so, here goes. i will NEVER be a millionaire. i will NEVER look like a supermodel. i will NEVER marry keanu reeves (sorry, jack). speaking of keanu reeves, click here for a hilarious meme hans sent me. are birds really singing? or screaming because they're afraid of heights?

anyways, i took almost an entire month off between EY and KPMG and it was super duper amazing. words cannot even begin to describe the joy of waking up in the morning and NOT having two billion work-related emails on my blackberry. if i didn't have a horrible addiction to shopping i would definitely consider leeching off of somebody (cough keanu reeeves cough) and never working again. i spent a few weekends in NY, watched a ton of broadway shows (the only one worth mentioning is jersey boys - GO SEE IT), ran around in the snowstorm, bought a hello kitty umbrella, came back to DC, crammed in some major sightseeing and then spent almost a week in texas with jack and another week in LA. it was a lot of wandering around but it was so much funner than the insanity of traveling back to back for work, hands DOWN.

last week was my first week at KPMG. i still have my old employee number and email address from when i started in 2003. i also got to skip the mandatory "respect at work" online training because i already took it eight years ago. nice to see certain things haven't changed. but, i did give up my blackberry for an iphone 4s, which is somewhat monumental because i used to have dreams about dying with my bb in my hand. aside from some minor technical issues on thursday and friday (as in, my phone service was still on my blackberry but all my data was coming through on my iphone), i'm happy with the change. won't somebody play words with friends with me? please? :(

all right, i gotta get ready for work tomorrow. SIGH. i was so good at being an unemployed lowlife. what if that was my true calling? be good, kids. xoxo.

p.s. uh, will i get fired for saying that i think KPMG's new slogan is pretty dumb?
