Hello!
We went back to Switzerland for a wedding. Philipp and Myriams wedding. We got there last Friday and it rained. Saturday (wedding day) rain in the morning.. but sunshine for the wedding. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday rain..
then I arrived in NY and it started raining here. In fact it hasn't stoped since I arrived. I even had to buy an umbrella. For those who know me there are 2 things I hate: gloves and umbrellas.
On Monday I took the ferry home. It was raining really hard. And for some reason there were a lot of people at the ferry terminal. Apparently the Lincoln tunnel (one of the main ways to get into New Jersey was closed). So there where hundreds of people waiting to buy a ferry ticket. Usually the guy who sells the tickets has nothing to do. Not so on Monday. The line went twice around the whole ferry terminal.. people begged me to sell them one ferry ticket. (I didn't have any) And the poor guy selling the tickets was completely freaked out. Only one person selling tickets :D When I got to the other side I thought that there would be no bus anyway, so I went into the Sheraton hotel to ask them to get me a cab. (still raining very hard).But then, oh luck.. a bus comes around the corner. I run with my umbrella in one hand, and my bag in the other to catch the bus. I step in a couple water lakes and I finally get to the bus. But the bus driver closes the doors and drives away!!!!
But: the bus behind him (who is out of services) sees me and opens the doors. Just for me! He turned on the lights and drove me home. He didn't even take my money! That is so cool! Only person in the bus. No annoying people. :D
I am a member of the Equinox gym since a couple of days (www.equinoxfitness.com). It's the gym for the gay and wanna be celebrities. The gym opened 7 years ago - but they still have the grand opening sign hanging outside with the balloons. I already met a model for FHM magazine, a wannabe rapper and the guy who gives my fave class: cardiokickboxing is a Marine. My friend Emily and I call him "the crazy dude". Because if you take his class you can feel your abs for the next 4 days. And I mean it in a bad way. ha ha.
Uh, I feel in writing moode. What else can I say? I know. Today was ladies lunch at work. Just women from the various credit teams. I thought we would rate all the guys in our team according to our rating scheme, C5 for the hotties, C9 for the not so hotties. But we talked about diversity. Interestingly one boss mentioned that diversity regading race, or sexual orientation doesn't guarantee that people will have different opinions (which is the whole goal of the diversity exercise). She continued to say that she for example as married white woman has a lot in common with her homosexual not married co-worker. So everybody was like, what? Who? Gay? I didn't know! Really? But then once back in our team we generously shared the gossip with our male collagues and speculations started. We like to bet on things but since we can't really go and ask we decided not to bet. So as you can imagine we had a fun afternoon...
Here a couple of websites I like: www.mobissimo.com for flights, www.fatwallet.com for online deals, www.flipclips.com for flipbooks
