Hello.

saget is a freeakkkk! so not wholesome like danny tanner!

cio fucking awful horrible scatterbrained boss from hell forgetting to do anything regarding our upcoming business trip and expecting me to CRASH WITH FRIENDS.

wow what an asshat. he can't make a hotel reservation??

oh fuck that, ally, your employer should not tell you to sleep on a couch

really, you should go over yr boss' head on that one and complain to yr boss' boss

^true, book hotel and they pick up the bill.

are you coming to nyc?!?!?

no see the problem is there are no hotels! lol!

haha no boston. i did find a (kind of not the most convenient but whatever) hotel myself. but he genuinely expected me to crash with people for a night. like, a WEEKNIGHT too?? yeah let me just inconvenience my friends (several of which "live in boston" as in they live 45 minutes to an hour out of boston) for your scatterbrained ass, yes.

i need to quit this job.

some bush league bullshit right there

the reason i didn't go and book one myself JUST IN CASE before now was because last time i did so i got in trouble because he hadn't "finalized" the "schedule" and i left "early" and missed an "important" dinner (with, uh, coworkers so not really sure why this was such a faux pas anyway).

i can't wait to get the update on wednesday about how much tequila he drank on tuesday tho!!!

uggggh.

^^^^ this trip that i got in hot water for leaving "early" over was on a weekend btw

elmo is otm, you really ought to complain to your boss' boss. even if this gets straightened out, he sounds seriously irresponsible.

there are a lot of smaller, reasonably priced boarding house type deals in Boston, if the hotel you found is really out of the way.

KIU SOUTH AFRICAN DUDE SUDDENLY APPEARING AT MY DESK AND TELLING ME HE CAN'T GO TO CONFERENCE, DO I WANT HIS DELUXE KING ROOM AT THE SE4P0RT HOTEL :D :D :D

YAY!!

oh man the seaport hotel is good stuff. I got drunk in their hotel bar once.

is he a coworker or a helpful sprite who popped out of midair?

Is the seaport the curved one near the Aquarium?

no I'm pretty sure it's the one out by the ICA/World Trade Center

I think it's kind of new? everything over there looks new.

hotel party @ teh seaport hollaaaaaaaa

does a jessiebmonster met an adam schefter

maybe this is why williamsburg is near pratt? http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/mis/387205407.html

D-d-d-damn!

wait what

if it's near the world trade center then it's about a block away from the harpoon brewery! jealous.

I had a VS angel bag
^^^ fuck you lady
what the hell is with this trend btw? hi the free bag a cheap horrible underpants store gives you with x amt of purchase is not actually a purse. FURTHERMORE ma, why the hell you want to walk around with a picture of a much hotter than you lady out for the whole world to see.

CIO GET A REAL PURSE

sorry that shit is my new pet peeve, i think 45% of women in dc are sporting that particular "look" currently

that is kind of strange, they do not even make good purses functionally (don't close usually, no pocketses).

other bag peeves:

"i'm not a plastic bag" ---> i am a self-righteous white liberal guilt case

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ otm!

i don't even understand those bags

I AM NOT A MOLESKIN.

I AM NOT THE SMALL CAT

Not being a plastic bag does not eliminate the possibility of being the small cat.

it's like writing I AM NOT AN SUV in huge letters on your hybrid prius

no shit, dude! cio!

i wish i was the small cat.

meow.

i am going to write I AM NOT AN SUV on everyone i know's bikes.

how fast and far the plastic bag has fallen from favor

so pretty ;_;

I am not a hybrid Priapus.

i am not a venn diagram of the small cat and plastic bags

stay away from my bike, schef

Chaki: so I'm a whiny bitch, sue me ;P

haha chaki didnt want to talk to remy so he pretended to be italian!!

ahahaaaaa

Note that my cio thread posts are mostly responses to other people's cios rather than cios in and of themselves.

I tend to bottle up, myself.

Yeah, that seems high for me, but I also specialize in the Rrrrrobyn-style multi-post b/c I forget to remember to add things.

i want pastrami

i have no idea why i posted this on CIO but i still want pastrami

damn now i want pastrami

I don't really like pastrami. I think this is because I haven't actually had proper pastrami and have actually been given leather soaked in pepper the few times I've asked for it in a sandwich...

there's a place called "pastrami queen" near my work that's supposed to be great but i think the sandwiches are like $17

but uhmmm,
http://www.roadfood.com/photos/3953.jpg

theres a pastrami place down the street from me called OINKSTER and it is delicious

cows don't oink

Okay that looks nothing like any pastrami I've ever eaten! That looks gorgeous. (xxpost)

Maybe just cos you're not doing it right (xpost)

i want katz's this weekend.

It's okay, kv, I don't think I'm very interested in pastrami either. And I'm DEFINITELY not interested in kosher-keeping delis or traditional "New York" kosher-style delies because I require cheese on my meat sandwiches. It's heathen, I know, but there you have it.

theres a pastrami place down the street from me called OINK ADMINISTRATOR

i want smoked meat

yeah i don't even think any of my posts here are actual cio posts

but hey - cio chasing down interviews with busy people. it is the hardest/most whiley part of journalism/writing ugh

kosher-style delis allow you to pollute your sandwiches with cheese, mayo, and any other debasements that you can think of, laurel.

Bell noooo it's too early to start with the delicious meats GISing!

i took a friend and some of his drunk visiting friends to Katz's. one of the girls was a vegan but she ordered the reuben anyway, she figured it was a once in a life experience. go her!

Now now, don't slander mayo -- it's perfectly kosher with meat, for some reason. Kosher eggs cannot have had any bloodspots on them, however, so one hopes the mayo is compliant.

What's the name of the old school deli that's in a hotel in the forties, west of times square? I thought it was Hotel Einstein but I can't find it online...

anyway MY GOD the soup and sandwiches at that place--!!!

Oh eggs are pareve, that's why.

this thread has reminded me to crak open th' fridddddge and make myself the usual friday dean & deluca deli FATTEY SURPRISE plate

many of my cios are just me being bemused at the world. i'm not much of a complainer these days -- one of my new year's resolutions that i've managed to keep for the most part.

mmm pastrami

i live near sahag's basturma and have figured out where i'm having lunch today. :-)

carnegie deli? that place sucks, is a total tourist trap. tho maybe you're talking about something else, i dunno.

The matzo balls are the size of baseballs. Could be tourist trap but there haven't been many people in it the few times I've been there.

the Carnegie Deli is in the 50s. I forget the name, the one JL means is on 44th or 45th on 8th Ave, lotta Broadway people lunch there.

ok, you guys take this to I Love Gabbneb.
