phoenixBEBE, I know what you mean about the conference calls, I do a couple of those a day:whip: And I have to be the speaker in at least 4 a week - I hate those cause I hate speaking on the phone:nervous:
At least you work in Hoboken. I love that town, been looking to buy a place out there but it seems like its a requirement you win the lotto b4 you can do that .... I'm there all the time regardless. It's going to be 5 soon and you'll be out of there. 1$ drafts and 3$ drinks 4-9 at 'Bhahama Mamma's' on Washington Street! |

| HA! DJ_Lawd, that does not qualify as lunch! I had a lunch & learn today, which basically to me means, we'll give you pizza & salad and you forget about leaving for lunch ... the worst part of it, it's required:mad: Don't sound like lunch to me! |

Sure do, but I don't know if they are on the "Happy hour list". It's a cute place, during happy hour. Jukebox music and pretty empty. After 10pm they start charging $5 cover, and DJ comes on plays hip-hop, gets way too crowded and it's downhill after that ...
I usually go early for the dolla drafts, when 9:00 comes around walk two-three blocks to the path and head into the city. Hoboken got a lotta GOOD restaurants where you can get lunch b4 4:00 for like $6, but the food should cost 3X that much ... good atmosphere |

yes ive heard its expensive...
well working in Hoboken i get double-taxed annually i *think* and im sure imma losing some money every paycheck. not to mention its an unlimited metrocard PLUS a 40-trip Quickcard...but hey it beats being unemployed.
so im thankful. there are much more positives longterm and ill try to keep it as straight as possible.
I already LOVE the environment though, the company the people. and i LOVE it that its almost like living in a new place. I love starting over, period. I will HAVE To explore the town around me eventually if i ever am able to GO OUT for lunch!!!  i cant wait to discover new things about the neighborhood. i am in LOVE with the waterfront!!! and i used to live by Exchange Place in a past life, on Morris Street in a walk-up apt (i hope i got the street name correct). it will be a welcome opportunity to go back and see how the neighborhood has wholly CHANGED in 6 years. ive already noticed the aboveground rail which is amazing to see!!!
hmm "Bhahama Mamma's" ill have to ask fellow coworkers about that!! :toothless ill have to have a place to take peeps who visit me out here.
btw 5 o clock came SOO quickly today after i wrote that post it was insane. |

They do that here too but I sneak out anyway :p Some tips on how to do that....get the food leave it on your desk then go out. Come back and pretnend you just got the food and didn't eat yet and you were just coming back from the bathroom or your car or something ;) Then eat and go back to "learning" hehe

Never had one....what's in it? |

The waterfront IS nice, and theres a little bike route along it that goes into Edgewater and Jersey City? really cool... you can sit on the green and watch people catch ... crabs! from the Hudson! go figure
Nice tips euphoria, too bad most of the ones I have are in the conf room with a presenter bleh ... will def try that leave 'half' your food on the desk then come back later :toothless
Bahama Mama - coconut rum + grenadine + oj + pineapple joos + ice + blender |

| ^^The first time I had one, it had all that, plus a splash of coconut milk, in a hallowed out pinapple, with sprinkles of coconut on top. Minus the ice because it wasnt a blended drink. mmmmmmm.......I had that on my senior high school trip to the bahamas, so I started with the best ;) |

Hoboken..
You need happy hour at Green Rock by the Path. I forget if it's every weekday or a specific day, but they have $1 beers. $1! You can order as many as you want and sit there slamming a table of beers! |

I LOOOOOVE lunch and learns...well firstly I rarely go out for lunch and usually presenters tend to bring Cosis or catered food with pastas salads etc so to me sall good and I don't have to pay for :toothless
