... then I found a job, heaven knows I'm miserable now - Morrisey
Read in the news that Monster.com has been hacked and information on a million people was stolen. Does this mean the hackers are going to hire us all? Are they going to go out hunting for jobs for me? That is awful nice of them.

Worst commute ever
You know it's bad when this is said:
"No subway line was unaffected by the heavy rains and winds, according to the M.T.A. For the time being, the M.T.A. was advising commuters to stay at home."
It certainly was an interesting morning. The trains were a complete mess and since I didn't have an alternative train to take (they were all shut down), I decided to find a taxi. Met up with my neighbor, hoping it would make the fare cheaper. We went up to Flatbush (major street to Manhattan) and it was a parking lot. Blaring horns and jam-packed buses. Since it looked like walking would be the next option, I went to Bergen Bagel for breakfast to fuel the long haul. After that we started our trek and right away we saw people boarding a double-decker tour bus. We were like, "Hell, why not... better than walking". So we got on, cleaned off the wet seats and enjoyed the ride. I've always hated those buses in Brooklyn, don't think they should be coming to my hood. But since it literally saved me a huge long sticky HOT walk, I have new respect. Anyway, we rode in, went over the Manhattan bridge and finally walked into the office around 10:30 AM. Worked out fairly well, but it was one of the worst rides in I've had to deal with in a long time.
Looks like the trains are still screwed up and everyone in the city is trying to grab the same cab. Let's just hope the ride home is easy smooth and quick. Water taxi?

August
It has been a busy few weeks. Not much breathing time. Went to the Rock the Bells concert out on Randall's Island last weekend. It was awesome! Got to see Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, Wu-tang Clan (they really rocked), and Rage Against the Machine (kicked ass in concert). Even besides the rain, we had a good time in the mud and then the sun came out for the last half. When it was all over we were able to escape from the masses and found a back way out. Even with security hot on our heels we did it. Walked over the bridge to the upper east side of Manhattan and hailed cabs to take us back to the hotel. Good times!
The weekend before I entertained a friend's cousin who is from Texas. It was his first visit to NYC, actually first time north of Madison, South Carolina. He was so fun and a real cool guy. Lots of great stories to tell. We went to South Street Seaport, then had dinner at a mexican place called Mary Ann's. Then finally went to White Horse Tavern for beers at the outside picnic table. I believe that was a good tour of NYC.
Yesterday I spent the whole day in Park Slope, walking around and window shopping. My girl from Australia made it to town finally. We had a great time catching up.
