can I get a witness?!
I am technically supposed to be working, but i am sneaking in a post since in an office, you can pretend to work and really not be working at all. Sometimes I wonder how I get myself into these situations, working in an office and all that. But who they hell cares, it's New York City! Oh, Tom asked what I do. I am an AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) leader for the NY Community Health Corps. This means I work in the Manhattan office and coordinate things, plan training events and service projects, keep track of hours, write the newsletter, etc etc etc. I am basically the peer support person for my team. So far I like it. I have committed for one year, and after that I don't know what I will do. I miss teaching a little, so I may start volunteering for the library's literacy and writing center. But I don't want to end up running around all the time. But right now I don't have a home life to speak of, so I like being out and about, meeting new people and getting involved in the community (or defining exactly what that community is).
So, do any of you want to accompany me to an event at the library this evening? ;) Harold Bloom is going to be doing a talk on Whitman's Leaves of Grass. I had planned on spending the night in or around home tonight, since I have plans every other evening this week, but when I heard Bloom was going to be around I couldn't resist! I was trying to think of people I know who would want to go, but so far I can't come up with anyone. Where have all the English majors gone? How did I get into health care? It's funny how the world works. I put a post on craigslist to see if anyone wants to go with me. I wish I could've packed you all with me. Anyone want to move to NYC? We could live in the East Village and drink ourselves into oblivion while writing genius writings. Wait, I think that has been done already. Well, I think it is time for a Beat Generation revival! Whaddya say?
Okay, I have to get back to work, guilt is setting in now. love you all. did i mention that I miss you? Cause I do.
