My first day on the job. I took the six month contract without benefits. I know, I know, maybe not the smartest financial move I've ever done, but I think this will lead to better work in the future. Plus it's a really fun job doing math stuff. I really love numbers.
I work downtown Manhattan, just south of Central Park, so there are a lot of fun things to do during my lunch hour: Times Square, Jim Hanley's Universe comic book shop, The Compleat Strategist boardgame shop, great restaurants, and more! Now I just have to make a lot of money so I can afford the nice stuff...

I see you're across from Radio City, so I'll ask, what is the plural of Venus de Milo? Venii de Milo?

Date: 2011-03-02 06:27 pm (UTC)Yup, parts-of-Manhattan names are confusing. You're in midtown, which generally includes everything north of 23rd St -- and by some accounts, north of 14th -- but south of 59th. "Downtown" is everything below 14th St., but in some contexts it only refers to Wall Street. And "uptown" and "downtown" (as in "I'm headed uptown") often mean any place north or south from where you currently are!
The police department has a precinct called "Midtown South," with their station on 35th St!
Maps is hard!

Thank you! I'll be here all week! Try the veal!

Date: 2011-03-02 04:39 am (UTC)So it's a 6 month contract gig without bennies, it IS a good start to new and better things and who knows, if you do it well, it might end up being more than a mere contract job.
Good luck!

Date: 2011-03-02 06:07 am (UTC)I guess I am one of the " Math is hard" types, although I am better at it than I was 40 years ago.
