btw...wtf...bbq

At work, Helen decided to use abbreviations all day. It was pretty funny to hear someone I totally respect and kind of fear saying "lol". She said her excuse was that she is a publisher and people should know she does indeed have an extensive vocabulary.

Work was really good these past two days. Tuesday was very productive. I wrote 4 news-ish stories and 4 book reviews for the four main Eye Classics books soon to be published. Then I made lists of researched publications to send all this stuff out to next week. Wednesday, I worked mostly on a new self-helpy kind of book that is actually quite good. I wrote some blurb for the back of the cover and then Helen let me have a crack at reorganizing the introduction, which needed serious help. It was really fun, but really exhausting and by the time I got to our weekly meeting for school I was pooped!

Wednesday night was a trip. Tessa called me while I was eating dinner and asked me to come meet her at a cd release party. So I rushed around to get ready and make the tube over in Russell Square. When I got there, I waited 30 minutes for her to pick up her phone and come let me in. By the time I actually got in, it was over. I will admit, I was a little upset. But realizing that she needed my help (drunk) more than anything, I stayed and we ended up going to a pub with two guys she met who work for Napster, which is pretty cool. They were recommending all these cool bands to us and Tessa even managed to score lunch with one of them to maybe set a job up or something. Personally, I wanted to go home. I definitely didn't want to drink (I still can't even stand the sight of a beer) and I was so tired! But on our way to the tube, Tessa decided that she wanted food so we stopped and ate at Soho Pizza (really good). I'm glad we did because she felt much better after she got some food in her system.

We finally made our way back home via cab because the tube was closed by the time we left. I immediately went to sleep.
