Pouting & Moping.....

The Good Wife: Season 4 ep 13 "The Seven Day Rule"
Diane Lockhart & Alicia Florrick


Diane: Your absence from the festivities is sending quite a message to the partnership.

Alicia: Uh, what message would that be?

Diane: That you're not vested in our little enterprise.

Alicia: (laughs)

Diane: You're pouting. It's unbecoming.

Alicia: No. I'm working.

Diane: You know why I was made partner?

Jonas Stern was sued for sexual harassment, and he needed to show that he had a female partner.

That's all.

When the door that you have been knocking at finally swings open, you don't ask why, you run through. That is the simple fact. No one is here to make it comfortable for you; no one is here to appreciate your moping, so this is my advice to you: Take a minute for yourself, put on your best gracious voice, find a way to wear a smile, and then come into the conference room ready to thank the equity partners for giving you this opportunity. Because what is given can quickly be taken away.

A thoughtful guy...

The new guy I've been training since Monday, Alan ... bought me coffee and a hot dog bun pastry thing today. He didn't know how I like my coffee so he came with three cups and placed them on my desk... cup of coffee, cup of milk or cream...and lastly cup of sugar... lol
There's hope for man kind yet...  lol

He caught me by surprise ... Not to mention I'm not a morning person lol but I was very moved....
A very touching gesture... and he even offered me a ride home when we were about to clock out :)

1st bucket of gold

Got my first big order that was over a thousand dollars.

It was about 6 thousand dollars but due to lack of inventory it got brought down to about 3600. I felt kind of accomplished today, besides helping Alan by training him since yesterday..... apparently he's the boss' cousin...lol that's turning 25 yrs old this year. :)

Anyhow... I'm one step closer to a higher pay grade... If I make the amount in this slow and lack of inventory moment in time... lol

Marriage: Juliet & Stephen

Stephen drove his car to pick me up, with Juliet sitting next to him in the front. I was so surprised that we were stopping by the mall first because she has to stop by Forever21 to pick up the dress she's going to wear today to city hall. I stayed in the car and chatted with Stephen, so he told me about his family and all the things in between since before the last time I saw him, after they've moved in together.

I was also surprised when they drove into the city instead of going to the location in queens to get married; either way we were hoping for a short line and wait lol It was a beautiful day, after two cold and gloomy ones...  the sun was shinning and the temperature was just right.... :-D

I didn't expect to find the location familiar, then I realized I took the FDNY exam within the same vicinity. A bunch of court houses, where I had gotten lost before lol.

Stephen's sister Laura came with their Father, who was riding in a motorized mobile scooter thing because he has Parkinson's disease. They came all the way from Long Island via LIRR and then a cab I think.

It was hot inside ! lol Flowers were being sold near the entrance and people were taking pictures all over the place; esp. by the Wedding Garden in front of a court house. :)

The line and wait was shorter than I expected... after they had registered and gotten a # , then get the formal documentations and witness thing out the way for paper trail...Then we went into this room...with this light pastel orange color painted walls...and this orange sofa...lol Then there's the built into the wall - glass cabinet...storing ancient marriage records from ages ago...lol


We waiting till one of the staff members came into the room to perform the ceremony... and by complete surprise.. Juliet cried... lol I def. never expected that lol ....


The whole time I was taking care of Stephen's Father and had a nice long conversation with him, while others went off to take pictures and etc...

He told me he got Parkinson's when he was 45 years old... and how he was from Little Neck...boardering Northern Blvd. in Queens; then they moved and etc... Told me he had brain surgery and they had implanted a device into his flesh..etc and had me touch the bumps @_@"........................... lol.....

But one thing he said that really left quite an impression.... (after mentioning that Juliet's Brother went to get her a bouquet of pink roses to hold. )

You see a lot of people buying and bringing flowers to funerals..... when they really should of given their loved ones a flower each and every single day while they were alive....

It hit a spot somewhere....and very moving....esp. since Stephen told me how his Mom had passed away from lung cancer, when she never smoked a day in her life. And I was seeing how Laura was still wishing that her mom was still alive...and could be there....

I really enjoyed talking to him... even though at first I had a hard time understanding him... by the end of the night I was starting to become adjusted to how he was speaking.


         We went to little Italy and had an italian lunch. We were seated outdoors and then it got chilly.... Dessert and coffee was had at a cafe near by, indoors ....lol where it was nice and warm and we shared the sweets till Laura and their Father had to head back to Long Island.


         Juliet and I waited at the cafe for Stephen to come back after dropping them off at Penn Station. He got back about 8pm... after we've had a long conversation about her new marriage life.... lol She told me it felt just right today... right amount of people being there... and how I was there on their first date and now their wedding day lol like a beginning and ending ...she felt complete. :)

This has been the highlight of my year.... one good thing out of 2014....... I was happy to be there; despite what transpired when I woke up in the morning.

It was great :) She said they might have the wedding where everyone is invited and etc in a year or so... and thinking about braids maids and etc...and gave me the look lol.... almost like she's telling me to lose weight to fit into the dress hahahhaaa :D awe man.. lol
