half day sorta today. got to leave the office at 2. ... didn't get to go home, had some uptown meetings. but, they were over at 4:30 ish, and we got to bail after that.
but thats not the coolest part of the day.
talking to yoshie early in the morning about random bull shit wasn't the coolest part of the day.
not even my lex having a great interview today for a new teacher position served as the coolest part of the day (but i love ya! .... c'mon, seriously, lemme just tell my fucking story.... STOP HOUNDING ME!!! .... ...nir....)
...
no no. the coolest part of the day? jimmy, the guy i used to work with? he gotta new job as part of the elite NYPD!!!
this is cool for a number of reasons. first and foremost, for himself, its something he always wanted. he's been trying, literally, for years (there's a big testing period and background check ordeal, etc). plus, now that he's finally been sworn in, he's part of this huge family of the worlds most famous police unit.
but the other main reason, and the main reason i love it so, is because it means he's leaving my old job! ...which essentially fucks over that entire company!
jimmy started in 2000. i started in 2001. i left in feb 2004. i was replaced by crap. that crap guy quit in june 2004. was replaced by more crap. jimmy announced his last day today, and will be replaced by crap. so, not only are the two new craps not as good as jimmy and i, they're also new to the company, building, and office, so they have to be taught everything.
awe. some.
