Then don''t. Do you really plan on ever moving to/working in NJ/Mass?

Maybe I will fall in love with Boston!

Very easy to do Big T, it''s a lot prettier than NYC in my opinion and very safe and walkable. The winters bite big time though.

WF still hasn''t sent my ring out...nor have they responded to my question about where the hell it is.

Seriously. It was done on Friday, what''s the friggin issue?!

Hmmmm...maybe they are backed up with holiday orders? Sorry sunny, I know how much you want your ring!

She should at least answer!

Have you called or just e-mailed?

If I e-mail someone and they don''t respond, I will call them and say "my e-mail has been acting up today, just wanted to make sure you got my question...."
So far no one has caught on.

Maybe, I''ve only been to Boston once, and I loved Fenway, although I''m not fond of the fans who root or the team that plays there!

I''m much more direct than that (it''s the one useful thing I''ve learned in law school). I''ll call and say, "I emailed you on X date and haven''t heard back from you yet." And then I nicely ask my question again. People are busy and it''s easier to put off emailing than talking to someone on the phone.

 

[sunnyd]

I''ve only emailed. I hate calling people.

I''m a sissy.

lol! Funny story: Remember I told you I worked at Contempo? We used to have this guy who would come in every week (religiously!). He''d pick out a ton of clothes and stayed in the dressing room for at least an hour - hour and a half. He''d always come late when our store manager was gone, and it was just us youngins with the young assistant manager. Dude, I don''t know what he did in there (well I do, kind of) but he never bought anything. Finally our manager started staying late just so she could be there should he pop by. She eventually stalked him scared and he didn''t come back for a long time. Then one day, out of the blue, he comes in dressed as a woman! I guess he finally figured the time had come.

Red Sox nation is more than ''not fond of'' NY fans. We do a number when provoked.

James initially, like when we bought them, but he''s gone so I''m with Vera now. I just want my damn rings back.

The guys REALLY need to learn that I can hear them out here. Their doors are open and I''m right here.

Got one swearing at the computer in his office. (you''d think the world was ending)

The other sat there yesterday SCREAMING into his phone (much more creative with his language than the other guy) so loud I can hardly hear myself. Great when I''ve got a client on the phone...


I don''t mind the swearing, but the REALLY personal stuff would be better if they shut their doors.

 

[vc10um]

Ooooookay. I thought I told you guys to not be too chatty while I was gone.

Took me 15 minutes to catch up!

Anyway...

Afternoon sunny, PP, HDG, T, and C-tek!

HH--I played alto sax and was in color guard in High School (and college), and did theater all four years of HS.
WL--I chased boys, too! But I was the fat girl so they weren''t very responsive...

OMG, I LOVE DANCING. I did tap and ballet when I was little, tap and broadway style for theater, and now I take a class called DanceSport Endurace which is basically Ballroom Dancing Aerobics. LOVE IT.

LP--I''m jealous of your metabolism, and keep hearing about this hot bod of yours, but I''ve never seen pics.

I''m 5''7"-5''8" and built like a linebacker.

TP your coworkers would drive me nuts.

Lunch was Malai Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Salmon with basmati rice, and Gulab Jamun with Cardamom Ice Cream (basically cake soaked in sugar syrup with ice cream that tasted like a chai tea.)

Last excellent lunch for awhile though, ladies...

Tell me if this makes sense: So I''m getting another quote from a caterer and now I''m thinking about going back over to do a tasting. Well one of the caterers won''t do a tasting until after you''ve booked them. This could be standard and I have no clue because I''ve never hired a caterer but to me this doesn''t make sense.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I think that''s a bogus business practice in my opinion. Granted it''s an expense, but running a successful business requires investment! For me this would be a deal breaker.

Ditto HH!

Whats the point of the tasting? So you can have a preview of how crappy your food might be after they''ve suckered a deposit out of you?
