Ah yes, the joys of living in a small apartment here in NYC. Sigh! Last evening, after getting a manicure/pedicure, I come home and the pipe under my bathroom sink bursts. Run over to my landladys place and her boyfriend comes back to help me out. Able to get the water shut off for pipe leading to bathroom sink and then he removes the corroded pipe et al. Not a pretty sight. They don't have the parts to replace, so job needs to be finished this evening around 6pm. Stay tuned...............

Was suppose to have an internal E&Y position interview this afternoon. Its been postponed to Friday. So far nothing from outside agency on interviews. Frustrating! Yesterday afternoon my Administrative Manager insisted that I attend this "Scorecard Performance Training". This training is set up to help you with your E&Y goals for the next year. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'LL BE WITH THE FIRM AFTER OCTOBER 10TH! Why am I at this training, yah know. I even asked my Admin Mgr that question and her abrasive response was "Go To It Anyway". I'm thinking "what the f--k?!?" So, I went, took the one hour training [waste of time] and wrote up something on my future goals. I handed it in to the supervisor and explained my situation. She's like "why are you here", so I told her what so-so said. The supervisor just shook her head and told me not to bother with "goals". I've been with E&Y since January 2001 and in the last three months I've encountered more difficulties than in all the time I've been here. I've tried to be patient, but thats wearing thin. Yah know? Sigh!!
