The Ideal Job

By urbanblitz • Jul 31st, 2002 • Category: Just Me

I actually thought I found the ideal job in the New York Time’s classifieds. It was an event coordinator position at an academic institution in a nice working environment.
There were 3 rounds of interviews.
1st round: 20 candidates with your potential supervisor
2nd round: 5 candidates with your potential co workers
3rd round: 2 candidates with the head [...]



In Full Circle

By urbanblitz • Jul 31st, 2002 • Category: Straphanger Chronicles

A few years ago, I accidentally dropped my monthly metrocard in the postal mail box. I had about 3 weeks left on the card. And went to the post office to inquire if they found it, they said there was no card in the mail box. Conspiracy, I say. Someone must have took it. Well [...]



Back Logged

For those of you who enjoy perusing my pages for your daily dose of cynicism, I’m back! Yup, hopefully the dry spell is over. I’ve just been so back logged with everything that I’ve really haven’t gotten a chance to update my blog. So, where shall I begin. Maybe a glimpse of my week in [...]



One Time on the Subway…

By urbanblitz • Jul 26th, 2002 • Category: Straphanger Chronicles

Yes, it’s that time again. You knew it was just a matter of time before I had another subway story. It’s kind of hard to avoid during rush hour. Anyway, this morning when I got a train, there was guy talking on his cell phone. I’m pretty much use these kinds of people on the [...]



Doh!

By urbanblitz • Jul 25th, 2002 • Category: Daily Musing

I dragged myself out of bed at about 7 this morning to head to the gym before work. Did I tell you? I started a consulting gig last week in Wall Street, of all places. Anyway, this morning when I walked to my gym, I saw a sign that said that there were no showers [...]



All in the Family

By urbanblitz • Jul 24th, 2002 • Category: Friends & Family

The other day I stumbled onto to my cousin’s blog. It’s nice to know that I’m actually the first person in the family to have blog. Considering I was the last to have a web page in college. Woo hoo! hehehe =) Yeah! I’m all giddy, and bouncing up and down the walls.



Water and Meds

By urbanblitz • Jul 24th, 2002 • Category: Daily Musing

This morning, I try to open the child safety medicine bottle. As per the instructions I pushed down & turn the bottle cap. It wasn’t as easy as it seems. When I pulled lightly to remove the cap, my meds went flying all over the place. I had 14 tablets of some antibiotic medicine. And [...]



Left Behind

By urbanblitz • Jul 19th, 2002 • Category: Daily Musing

I’m so upset at myself, right now. I left my umbrella on the train. It was a Tote umbrella I picked up when I was in London. I didn’t realize that I left it on the train until I threw something in the garbage and realized that I didn’t have my umbrella with me. There [...]



The Height Thing

By urbanblitz • Jul 14th, 2002 • Category: Just Me

It great to be tall. Okay, I’m short. Or you say that I’m vertically challenged. While on the train, this woman got on who was about 4′ 5. And I felt like a giant next to her. Her feet were so small. I think she was probably size 4. She probably makes out like a [...]



Commute from Hell

By urbanblitz • Jul 9th, 2002 • Category: Straphanger Chronicles

Being unemployed, there is one thing I don’t miss. It’s none other then the infamous NYC rush hour.
Let’s breakdown today’s scenario. I had an interview in Morningside Heights ( located on Upper West Side, 125th Street). Since I was travelling from Brooklyn, I thought I anticipate a commute of 2 hour, just in case. Thank [...]
