Women and Cars: The Blog!

Just who is home in the middle of the day?

I currently work on the Upper West Side (not for long - I’m audi on Feb. 23), which is not exactly the beehive of worker activity and cement jungle that is Midtown. Before this, I always wondered who the non-working people were. Who is home during the day when everyone else is working??
For the past year and a half that I’ve been on this job, I’ve glimpsed these easy living folks on my lunch breaks. And I’ve discovered that they are:

-Nannies of different ethnicities pushing Bugaboo strollers containing cute (priveleged) children - they’re actually working;

-Ladies of leisure who don’t have to work (presumably because their menfolk and/or trust funds take care of them) and get to do their nails, lunch and go to the gym as a profession. (That sounds delightful to me.)

-Older, retired folk who amble slowly down the street, take forever while I’m standing behind them in line in CVS and give me dirty looks when I put my feet on a chair in Barnes and Nobles. The last two things actually happened today - resulting in this grumpy blurb. (To be fair, I guess I shouldn’t have put my dirty feet on the chair, but come on, I was tired!)

-Other random dudes of all ages - I can’t imagine why they’re not working. Are they actors? Models? Do they have night jobs? Or did they just ‘call in sick’? If this were the Meatpacking District or Chelsea I would feel safe labeling them as Eurotrash, but this is the bourgeois Upper West! I guess I’ll never know…oh, the drama!

In any case, when I go on to a new job, presumably in more of a business district, I will miss the leisurely pace of working here. Nevermind that I live ten minutes away by bus and often go home on my lunch break. I am realllllyyyy going to miss that.
In other earthshattering news, I have a new food obsession: yogurt with granola, fruit and honey. It is soooo yummy and a Greek type of food. Those Greeks really know what they’re doing; don’t get me started on baklava.
Dang, I’m making myself hungry. Off to pop popcorn (and annoy my coworkers as the aroma wafts all over the office - hee hee).

    Без салонов красоты и студий загара сложно представить нашу жизнь. Мы уже сами, не осознавая происходящего, регулярно посещаем студии загара, пользуемся услугами салонов красоты. Если нам предложить отказаться от данных услуг, мы испытаем как минимум шок…
    А что бы его не испытывать естьbaseall.ru
