well, i am off to hop in the shower and then get me some ashes.
not for nothing, but i didn't get ashes last year during work - i tried getting them after work... walked around downtown for 2 hours in the fridgid cold last ash wednesday after i got out of that horrid job i had been at
then in 2001, i was working at digitas.
i had gotten ashes in the morning before work. hey - i have done this for years. so, i am in a meeting with about 15 people (there weren't any others in the meeting with ashes - but there were others in the company that had ashes)
anyway - long story short - my creative director (n. horowitz) says to me in the middle of the meeting in front of everyone...
"erin take that crap off of your forehead, it's bothering the hell out of me"
i didn't take it off. i was pissed. i was mortified.
how dare she say that... have i ever tried to embarrass someone of the jewish faith in the middle of a meeting by saying "hey take that silly 'yamaha' beanie off of your head - it's rude to wear hats indoors?"
no. because i am not an ass.
and then i was laid off from digitas... too bad i am not the "suing type" of person.
okay - now that i have gotten myself all worked up - i have to go take a shower.
no idea what i am giving up for Lent... thinking chocolate is a good call... although, is Weight Watchers "chocolate" technically the real deal - or is it Mocklate?
