"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

I'm super cool.
Got into work today a tad bit late and I learned to never do that again. The line up to go through the metal detector (yes, as an intern, I still have to go through the metal detector) was really into the sidewalk and into the street. When I cut through the line (yes I am allowed to do that, I'm not trying to be a butt), the security officer actually stopped my friend and I. There was a big Conference on people with disabilities that day with a large contingent of people so I assume that that was why the line was so long (everyone was trying to get in at 9).

Lesson learned: Never go in after 9am again.

When I went upstairs, I started working on some of the writing and research for the big project I am working on. We had our weekly meeting where a lot of stuff was established and then afterwards, I got some free lunch, courtesy of Conference Services, where we had spicy chicken, rice and fish. It was delicious and hearty but I couldn't finish it all so I took some home. I stayed late a bit to work on my project since I wanted to get a head start on it after having a meeting with someone in another department. At around 5:30 I headed on my way home and dropped by the New York Mid-Manhattan Library, where I applied for an NYC ID Card. 

Why does the fake card have
the same name as me...
For those who do not know what that is, it is essentially an ID card, recognized in all 5 Boroughs ofNew York that signifies thatI am a New York resident and sometimes, I'll end up getting discounts and other perks for having one! I remember a little while ago, when I was at a market, they were giving out ticket to get $2 off whatever food tent you'd like just for being an NYC resident with the ID card. It was a good enticement - plus a great souvenir to take home.

When I got home, I heated up some leftover pizza and enjoyed it as I sat around, wrote some more yelp reviews (This is really turning into my life isn't it? But it's also nice just sitting there and giving my honest opinion about restaurants and other places to help other people out in the future) and caught up with the last two episodes of Game of Thrones.

Very simple, non-complicated uneventful day - something I needed.
