poor delton.

Devin: "Hey is Delton there?"
Devin: "Hey Delton this is Devin from Fortune Academy, how are you doing?!"
Devin: "What part of making money doesn't interest you?"
Devin: "Okay bye."
Devin: "Hey Josh, he answered and i asked if delton was there and he said no and i was like hey delton this is devin!"

i work in the front office with like 5 guys making calls behind us, and we hear the funniest stuff.

more missionaries.

i recorded a video of elder miles talking. he has a new companion that i'm not very good friends with. elder miles is seriously my bff. i recorded him talking to chase. jason is mad in the video because like five minutes before, i told him i had a boyfriend on a mission. elder miles has a girlfriend who is waiting for him and he's going home in 4 1/2 months.



this is me in my new apartment. i took this picture to print out and send jake....i never printed it or sent it. i think its funny because our ceilings are actually like 10 feet high but it looks like i'm a giant in a tiny apartment with tiny furniture, but that simply is not true.

this was the first really warm, really nice day i've spent in NYC and i spent it running errands all day for work. and i loved it.
and i've learned to stop asking why.

i also got a video of oscar and i chillin at the hudson river. i guess he did warn me about the dead bodies, but i just brushed it off.

yet another decision.

my boss asked me to go live in her 10 bedroom house in the east hamptons for 3 weeks at the end of may. i am moving out of my apartment may 10th and she said i could move in there for free.
i'd be a "manager" telling everyone there what to do and making sure it gets done, putting furniture here, hanging posters there... they are in the process of renovating this house so the only people that are there are maids and construction workers. she said there is a pool and its by the beach, i could work every other day. i talked to her 12 year old daughter and she was skeptical. she said that i'd be there alone and it'd be 'lonely.'


PROS
-good money
-by the beach
-good expirience dealing with construction and design

CONS
-be two hours away from manhattan, which means i couldn't hang out with any friends.
-i think i'd be the only one sleeping there.......
-i have no idea what she expects. i dont know if i'll have furniture, if i'll have to get my own food, if she'll let me use the car, if anyone else will ever be there...


what are your thoughts?

and after staying there for a month, what do i do for the rest of the summer and where do i go to school?

THINGS I HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM PEOPLE HERE
-you've got accepted to an interior design SCHOOL, and you want to give that up to go to school at SLCC in Utah?
-why are you in a rush to go back to utah? they'll all be there when you go home.
-summers in new york are so much fun!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
-don't rush school.


THINGS I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT GOING BACK TO UTAH
i miss you.
i can't wait to see you.
summer will be so great with you here.



so i am a confused mess. i thought i'd made my mind up about going home, but then all these other things came up. i don't know what to do.

i am the sickest woman.

so i got the job as personal assistant/B. it is ridiculous, the things i do. i hated it the first two days and thought to myself, i don't need this. but when she handed me that 6” x 2-3/4” hand written, no taxes deducted check of 3 digits (hundreds, not thousands, who are we trying to kid) i realized that walking through the rain all day saturday, getting SO SEA SICK in the taxi's, running here and there being so stressed was all worth paying off my macy's bill in the end.

go to long island for the month of august ("its on the beach and there is a pool. not bad." she continually reminds me) or not to go for the month of august.

as much as i love the dough, being told what to do all the time is not fun. and though there are some good compliments here and there and pet names ("hows it goin babe!!?") the unsuccessful missions are too much to handle. i'd say less nanny diaries and more the devil wears prada. you know how scared the girl is when she doesnt get the lady her coffee on time? or when she doesnt even have time to talk to her friends because she's so worried about making her boss happy? mmm yeah, know what thats like.

about the title. i really have had a cough for so. long. over a month and its getting ridiculous. if i'm not coughing up my lungs, i'm weak and shaky. it sucks because when i would get like that in utah i'd have somewhere to sit down, in my car or something. but here i can't sit anywhere. there are no benches in any stores or on any street. there are usually no seats available on the subway either. i'm soo sick of being sick all the time and not having any answers. except the constant head/eye ache is due to the fact that i'm 19 and still have my wisdom teeth, i'm sure. so i can't complain about that too much, but i only have a few more pain pills left. the point is, dad if you are reading this, please send some pills, strong pills, here with lyndsi. and send a dentist too, anything but a grosso one.

call me annie, not nanny.

i applied on craigs list for lots and lots of jobs. two weeks later, i had lost hope in any of them. however, victoria's secret called and invited me in for a group interview (ha). I went, and four of us were chosen out of eleven to stay and fill out paper work and all that.
they will let me know in two weeks if i got the job.

then, i got an email from another woman i wrote to. her name is julie. she works for a woman named liz. liz owns a business here in the city, and in washington. she has a 12 year old daughter and a husband living here. she has a house in the hamptons thats "i'd say about....1/2 done with renovations.", and she lives on.....92nd street and park ave.

julie called me yesterday for a phone interview and to explain about the position available. she said that since liz has so much stuff going on, she needs a personal assistant to keep things in order.
-make sure she has groceries
-she has a lot of parties, so help get everything ready for that
-she loves to give gifts. so in her house she has a gift closet that needs to be kept organized and updated.
-sometimes i'll need to make sure her daughter has eaten ("no cooking").

so i'm a little weirded out about all of this, its screaming Nanny Diaries. i thought that was the end, but when she asked me if i was going home for the summer i, of course, said "oh i'm not sure yet........................................." she said "oh thats good! because during the summer they go to the EAST HAMPTONS and take their assistant with them for july and august. really nice place by the beach."
