The Rain has Stopped

Sometimes technology amazes me, well more like all the time.

Here I am at one of my new offices, Starbucks. My first meeting with myself took place this morning between 10:05 and 10:59am at Union Square. Then I met a friend for lunch and here I am at the Starbucks on Park Ave South and 29th Street in the back seating area with my laptop.

The woman to my right is working out all the kinks for some celebrity bookings on Conan, Jimmy, Regis and some interviews with the Daily News. She believes that everything will come together before press time. The young lady next to me was telling her friend she is going to get a massage, a delayed birthday present. The even younger girl in front of me was telling her cell phone about her doctor’s appointment and the treatment he gave her for Silent Reflux.

I sit here juggling emails to my mother from my AOL address, emails with a KittyKind volunteer from my Yahoo address and IM-ing with a friend on Facebook, now let’s make that two friends.  And I am working on my blog.

Today is day three of my freedom. Yesterday I woke up feeling a little gloomy but at 7am I went to Starbucks around the corner and sat there with my computer until 11:30am. I asked the cashier what the deal was with coffee refills when using a registered Starbucks gift card. He said the refills were free. I told him I had just lost my job and was looking for ways to conserve. He gave me my receipt and I realized he didn’t charge me for the coffee. I told him I wanted to pay and he said “that’s ok” and I said “no , really I want to pay”.

Francois, a local, was so saddened by my lost job he said he would look for something for me in his company. I said thank you but needed to figure out the next step. I am not even sure what he does.

This morning I woke up a little sad but left with my husband to take our cat Meca to the vet to be spayed. Then I transported a few cats back to KittyKind. I really love listening to people talk about how they see things in the world. I get so caught up in my view. A man is holding an interview with a lady close by. Something about hiring a group of full timers at a new startup.

I think it is time to turn off the computer and just sit. By the way it rained all day and has finally stopped.
