Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

We ate at Au Bon Pain, and had such a wonderful time. I cant believe I am back in my office (karen is walking back to hers and Shamma stopped at her florist)

The time just flew. I felt like I was meeting old friends.

I had my usual Chicken Ceasar wrap. I am not one for change, so anytime i go to ABP its all I eat.

Shamma is even more amazing in person. She is so soft spoken, so considerate, charming and funny. Can definatly learn a lot of wedding stuff from her.

Karen took a big step and got away from her office. It was so nice to meet her and for her to come to this area away from the WFC.

Both ladies are very lovely and we had a wonderful time.

We definatly missed XEROXGIRL

I am back in my office and there is a lovely bo-k of flowers sitting in front of me. It was so nice meeting you Chippa. You came off as shy. Karen was very comfortable from the get go. So nice meeting both of you. I have never seen anyone eat their wrap with a fork.

I want to do it again. The time went by way too quickly.

SO who is down for next Wednesday????

OMG I laughed so loud just now someone thought something was wrong. I more like made a funny nasal the nanny laugh.

Yes I am different. I eat the wrap with a fork. It have this weird food fear that if I pick up the wrap its going to open and spill out all over me

The time definatly went really fast.

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Definatly include me for Wednesday.

I called my temp contact and told him I cant have anyday before Wednesday be my last day because I have a lot going on.

He laughed at me and told me I need a life.

Rebecca: NOOOOOOOOOOOO How could they do this. Get a mug and bang it against your desk and yell 'at tic a, at tic a'

Wednesday if your boss doesnt let you go, he'll be very sorry. I'll have a thing or two to tell him.

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Chippa, easy now, we don't want Rebecca losing her job, she has a wedding to pay for

We will not see Karen on for a little bit, her PC is with IT

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Seriously now, I get asked almost every day what I'm laughing at....you girls just made me do it again!

Shamma...cookies are my weakness - how did you know?

My boss is gonna be splattered all over Wall Street in about 10 minutes...out the window, head first!

I'm taking a mental break right now...I actually stayed off line for a few hours today (and now I've got the shakes)

Karen: did you have any trouble getting there?

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Chippa, your writing gave me one impression of you. You are a sweetheart in person, so delicate, like a flower, I could never see you telling Rebecca's boss off.

I think there is some kind of law against working w/o food, I think its called cruel and unusual punishment.

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

true. ok. but what if i yell at him and dont mention her name. Just call him nasty names and leave. she can say i am some crazy person who escaped a mental place that is in another state and somehow i crossed state borders and its an isolated incident.

I told you ladies, i have way too much time on my hands

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Karen found the place with ease...she was smiling that LIW smile, I knew it was her from the get go

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

aww thanks shamma

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Chippa, he might find it suspicious that you left all the way from out of state and found him in his Wall Street office...he would find out. I think if you trip him up in the street that is more anonymous

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

hmmm good point...

yea i think tripping him in the street would definatly work...

oopps i didnt mean to push him down the flight of stairs. i tried to help him. he was wobbling and i wanted to help him so he wouldnt hurt himself or anyone else, but when i went to grab his coat he pushed my arm away and he fell

yea that could work.

or he fell down the stairs because his briefcase lock broke and it caused his briefcase opened and he was bending over and I didnt mean to give him a swift kick in the @$$. I didnt know that he was going to fall down the stairs. Yea he was on the sidewalk and the top step was a foot from him, but he looked like he kept good balance.
