Essentials to make my job enjoyable.
- One hour of surfing before I clock in at eight
- A piping hot cup of tea
- A cleaned desk. Things just keep pilling and it never goes down.
- My Strokes compilation CD. It keeps me rocking all day.
- Heat (my office can get so cold especially where I sit.)
- The new David Gray CD, A New Day At Midnight.
- wBloggar program for spur of the moment posting.
- Less customer complaints. Especially AT&T customers!! (I swear some of them
never heard of browsers, taskbar, or desktop.) - A computer with more gigabyte. I practically have 1 MG left. Yikes.
- More Quarterly meetings.
More lists:
Time Out New York has published it's Essential New York issue. Below are a few noteworthy lists:
Seven Good New York Omens
- The subway doors open the moment you reach the platform.
- The Empire State Building's lights go on while you're staring at it.
- You order a slice of pizza just as a fresh pie is coming out of the oven.
- Your cab sails down Broadway from the Upper West to Lower East sides without hitting any red lights.
- Your spring fling mentions that his or her parents own a beachfront cottage in Montauk.
- You snag one of those new extra-leg room taxis.
- The pigeon's poop misses your leather jacket by inches.
Unessential New York: Eight (Or so) people Who Bring Out The Worst In Us
- The couple in the New York Times TV ad
She heads straight for the Arts & Leisure. He checks out the magazine. We sit in front of the TV wishing we could bitch-slap these two morons. - The bouncers at Centro-Fly
Centro-Fly would be one of the best places to dance if a visit didn't entail getting abused by a set of world-class brutes at the door -- then being shoved around by their goonish, orange-jump suited cohorts once you're inside. - Mark Green
Doesn't he know he lost? Shut up. already! - Lou Reed
He used to redeem his unrelenting hastiness with ingenious songs and spiky humor, but in recent years he's turned into a crotchety old
fart whose limp music doesn't justify his astonishing self-importance. - The Hilton sisters
So slaggy and nasty. (Why can't we stop looking at and reading about them?) - Chloë Sevigny
She's a camera hog, has bad taste in clothing and, as far as we can tell, does nothing. - Vincent Gallo
A renaissance man who's bad at everything. And he's ugly. - Clear Channel Entertainment
Not a person, of course, but this dark force of entertainment conglomerates manages to reviled for its
vice like grip on both the airwaves and the booking of the city's leading music venues.
