And actually, it's looking more and more like the much-debated DC smoking ban is going to go through, so even the Metro will not save you. Sorry dude.

One thing is for certain: VA will NEVER ban smoking in bars. Phillip Morris swings a big stick in the Old Dominion.

Earlier this week I was so hyped about an open house for a place in Logan Circle and then dude forgot to send me the details, but I got the mass thank you message saying "sorry, we already picked someone," and then I was in a super shitty mood all evening. I hate this whole process, it feels like trying to win some weird popularity contest, and it's like people, I'm OK, I promise! I'm not that annoying! I'm just shy when meeting random strangers and trying to convince them they should let me live in their house!

How's the cold turkey going? Quitting smoking for five days is pretty impressive, seriously.

I met a friend today at Cafe Bonaparte in G'town. Yummy crepes. Also walked past the C&O canal, around the waterfront park and up Book Hill to the G'town library, which is unfortunately, not open on Sundays.
Dropped some $$ at Urban Outfitters on a green le Tigre track jacket that I soo did not need. but, pretty pink tiger. Went into H&M but the few basic black velvet and black corduroy jackets only available in plus and minus sizes. Was hearkened by the sight of the Lacoste store but not cheered by the merch within. Tried on the navy-blue "boy blazer" at J, Crew, but so not worth the money and the duds at Zara left me cold. The military brigade seems to have ususped the peasants. Found a nice argyle sweater at Commander Salamander but already have the cardigan in a different color scheme.
Tried to go to see Tony Takatani at the E, but couldn't find parking, got confused, gave up and came home. Maybe tomorrow. Must see.

H&M at Tyson's Corner had a few awesome tops, navy blue w/knotted detail at the neckline, fantastic. Didn't have any cash though. In fact I was returning a $8 top to get cash for the drive out of the city because I was running so short. oops! Almost bought a totally preppy navy wool fitted blazer with gold buttons from teh Goodwill a few weeks ago, but at the last minute put it back because the sleeves a touch too short (as usual).
Searching for a place to live completely sucks. Maybe I should try to find guy housemates. Whenever I go to see a place and the potential housemate is a girl, I don't know, I either get the smug competitive vibe or the passive aggressive "I don't like you for no reason" vibe. The other day I called up this dude from a Craigslist ad who had a nice sounding place off Connecticut and after I politely ask if the room was still available, he's like (sarcasm) "No, I just really wanted to talk to a bunch of random strangers so I thought I'd post an ad." Hey, excuse you, asshole!

Really wanting a preppy navy school-style blazer, so bad I walked into American Eagle today bc I had a strange feeling that I had seen such a garment in one of the various American Teen mags. I only walked a few steps in, didn't see it, realized I'd have to go upstairs, looked at the doorman and walked out again.
I've also seen one from Brooks Brothers which is cheaper than the J Crew one, but not by much, and if the J Crew one had fittedness problems, was a bit boxy, I imagine the BB one would be a lot worse.
Good luck, D. I hope something comes through.
I tried on these Free People plaid pleated and cuffed trousers today, but the zipper was so short--it was very strange, like half the size of the a regular zipper. They were like fake pants or something.
Went through the G'town flea market also, slim pickens but it was a beautiful day.

I was out in Fairfax County for a couple days at a temp job and someone ripped the Maryland Democrats sticker off my car. Now I have to find the spare & see if I still have that extra Kerry for President sticker to put next to it. thanks, Virginia.

Yeah, the Brooks Brothers blazer I saw in a photo shoot was actually from the boys' department, not the pseudo "boy's blazer" FOR WOMEN offered by J. Crew. The J Crew one had kinda puffy shoulders and wasn't very tailored. i would think it would have been more slim-fitting. Blazers are so damn expensive though.

We can't just go with tried-and-true DoD solutions because what does DoD know about what our agency needs LOL PWNED
I've been at the same pay grade for twelve years no I haven't heard of the "Peter Principle" how is that spelled LOL PWNED
We need to get this documented and approved by the SES we don't want to do anything without two months of meetings and writeups because it's proven fact that two months of meetings and writeups prior to starting action ensures that I can't be held responsible for my mistakes LOL PWNED
Who cares if we actually do anything all day, we work from 6:30am to 2:30pm so barely anybody notices, not like we're ever around to answer our own fucking phonecalls LOL PWNED

One of my coworkers at a recent temp gig was a guy who spent the summer working at DOJ. In order to use up all the money in their budget they hired a bunch of temps to shuffle paper and file things and sit around listening to music, at $25/hour. I so missed out.. LOL PWNX0R3D

I know one guy who is going back to GS world from LM because our project is totally frustrating to him, and he wants "challenging as in having to use my brain, not challenging as in having to work 60 hour weeks" which I totally understand. He's getting them to match his play at GS-12 step something, which is not bad, and he knows the people there and likes the position.
OTOH he is the only, only, only person I know who has decided to go back to GS from the contracting world who isn't already at basically the GS-15/SES level.

Northrop Grumman & Lockheed Martin's hiring practices are to offer people boatloads of money so that they don't go to work for anybody else. Which contributes to skyrocketing turnover and a real estate bubble!

I love working for the government, though I work for the little g, city government. I only work part-time and they offer healthcare and holidays. I don't work Mondays, but every time there's a national holiday on a Monday, I get to work 6 hours less during that week. However, one of co-workers absconded to Lebanon for the past three months, so I have to work every other Saturday to fill in for her. LOL PWNED.

From the Where Else But Washington Department: At the store this morning there was a guy wearing a tie-dyed shirt. Upon closer view, the shirt turned out to be overprinted in small white text, ending in something like "--Romans...." And of course he was wearing these with khaki trousers.
Not that I was in any position to play Fashion Police; at the hardware store I wasn't the only one wearing loafers with beige shorts.
