Got the job!
Posted by erin at August 27, 2003 04:20 PMI found a part-time job!! Hooray!
It consists of working one or two days a week for some super-rich grad student as a personal assistant. She lives in a two-floor apartment with a river view by herself when she's not going to Yale. What a life! I think she does photography or something. I'll probably refer to her on my blog as "My Employer" or "My Employeress" or something like that.
Also yesterday I went out drinking to Antarctica, which is a great bar on Canal Street at Spring street, which is in Tribeca and not Chinatown. It is near a 1/9 stop. Sort of. I made the mistake of going to Franklin street and wandering around in the wrong direction with my drinking buddy until finally I relented and called information to find the place.
The drinks there are the same price as elsewhere in the city, but THREE TIMES AS LARGE. A gin and tonic comes in a big beer glass, not a dinky little cup. Turns out a white Russian at Antarctica is like a frigging milk shake, it's so big.
Also every day from 5-11 if you have the name of the day you drink for free. Yesterday's name was Cathleen. I was disappointed to find out I'd missed Erin Day, which was August 4th. None of your names are coming up - I checked.

So what exactly are you going to DO for the Employeress? I mean, what does a grad student need? Coffee? Library books? Love?

To AK: I'm sure we could suggest AK day. But then again, 50% of the Agieskas I know live in San Fransisco.
To John: The Employeress needs someone to run errands for her in the city, and enter her address book into a database, and transfer her iTunes from her workstation to her laptop. Perhaps she also needs help with research... only time will tell. I haven't started yet.

Provided you get along with her, that kind of work can actually be rather pleasant and sometimes even fun.
