Quote from work
My senior: Basically my girlfriend gave me an ultimatum last night
Me: OH MY GOD! What did you do?!
My senior: I told her ‘I know where you’re getting all of these ridiculous ideas from. I know your group of friends and I know who it is. Well you know what – Claudia’s not getting married any time soon so I don’t know why you’re listening to her at all’
Julie: I can tell you right now, that tone was not the right move
My senior: Yeah. I realized later that what started out as a simple conversation was quickly unraveling.
I can either sleep, watch The Good Wife, catch up on Pretty Little Liars, write emails or … a ton of other things. Tomorrow morning I can either gym, watch The Good Wife, watch Pretty Little Liars, or go to work early.
Today I worked from 7:30 to 11:30. My longest day yet. Still, didn’t feel that bad. HAHA I just wish I had remembered to bring jeans to change into.
There are Spotify playlists made by something called Digster and based on how much I like certain playlists, apparently my tastes are Indie Chill, Rise & Shine Indie, Look at my Newer House! and 60s Soul

I think what’s keeping me happy during busy season is: my awesome and hilarious team and Tiesto Club Life podcasts. OMG our team gets snack money now too! Exciting.

I didn’t feel like making an entirely new post. So I will just amend yesterday’s.
I remember now a quote that I wanted to post from Sunday night, when I drove up to SF after work to hang out with Kristen
K: I wanted a corporate hippie and he wanted a hippie corporate
Me: Oh. I … just want corporate
…
K: Where would you live if not Seattle?
Me: I don’t know. Palo Alto
K: ………….. oh my god. You’re so … cookie cutter. Palo Alto is so boring!
Me: So what. Maybe I want to be cookie cutter. I just want to live in a nice white neighborhood where there’s a Crate and Barrel nearby.
Kristen asked where my next secret adventure is going to be. I have no idea! I don’t even have time to think about when I am going to do my laundry.
My coach told me today that at mid-year roundtables, the possibility of early promoting me to senior had come up. I am going to ask her who exactly brought this up when we have our real coaching meeting. Thankfully my coach shot down that idea, saying “do you WANT her to quit?” At the same time, I’m about 10% sad that it wouldn’t happen, because I have been looking for super legitimate reasons to ask for a leave of absence in the fall. I am pretty confident that I could still get one, but I feel like I’d prefer saying to the lead partner “I need a break from being a senior for x months and if I don’t get one I just might quit” as opposed to “I want to travel while this company still pays for my health insurance please.”
