12 for 12

Friday, February 12th, 2010

12th of the month. 12 photos. It’s an easy concept. The hard part is remembering to do it.

1.
Unboxing the new Motorola Droid
Test driving my new Motorola Droid today. Technically, this photo was taken on the 11th, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me.

2.
Putting on the Tie
Today is an interview day, so I got to put on my pretty suit.

3.
Slicing peppers for an omelet
Slicing green and red peppers for my morning omelet. Also included, 2 egg whites, 3 green olives, 1/4 cup cheese. 156 calories.

4.
Eggs and Civ Pro
While cooking, I try to get some Civil Procedure reading done.

5.
The Day's Outfit
Suit… check. Backpack with 3 binders, 2 textbooks, laptop and assorted study essentials… check. Still reading… check. I think I’m ready to get going.

6.
New York Penn Station
I didn’t get any pictures in class (the professors don’t tend to pose and smile), so here I am at New York Penn Station heading to my summer job interview.

7.
One Newark Plaza
Here’s the Newark building where my interview took place. I feel that it went well, although I always hate when they want me to ask them questions. I wouldn’t have applied if I wasn’t interested enough to do advance research on your organization. Anyway… should know something by the end of the month.

8.
Mickey D's Fish
At this point, it was well into the afternoon and the last thing I’d had to eat was that omelet, so I stopped at McDonald’s and had two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches (840 calories).

9.
Newark Penn Station
Now I’m at Newark Penn Station getting ready to head home to Manhattan.

10.
Hackensack River
According to the Big Brother-y google maps with GPS tracker app on my new phone, I made it back to Hackensack (River). No one was there for me (feat. sad lonely Valentine’s Day for Jere #6,238).

11.
Gym
At the gym working off the McDonald’s “food.” If you enlarge, you can see the last two dry spots on my sleeves representing the color of this shirt when not dripping in sweat after a 4 mile run.

12.
Bed Trash Pile
After doing laundry, buying groceries, making a fake chicken ceasar salad for dinner (650 calories), and grabbing my mail… I’ve still got to clean off my bed before I can think about sleep.

13.
Pajamas
Because #1 was a cheat. Look, I’m actually wearing my Giftmas pajamas! Bedtime.

And a special bonus, another nephew born today (from the branch of the family I no longer have a relationship with). Since they went ahead and gave the kid the same middle name as me (also my recently deceased Grandpa’s name), I feel even less obligated to keep using it. His first name is Paul and I’m told he’s healthy.

    I think the last time I had clown food was with Nicky last October, but it was familiar and right there at the entrance to Newark Penn.

    Yeah, I try to only consume it like once or twice a year, if that! It kinda hurts my soul and never fills me up! Good luck wiff gettin’ a jerb [aka you probz have nuffin' to worry about since you've had more interviewz in the past month than I've had in a year & a half of job searching]!

  2. It’s that sauce on the fish. Ick!

    Your nephew is cute, too bad he won’t get to know what an amazing Uncle he has.

    Good luck with all the interviews. Hope you get the perfect position.

    Jere Keys Reply:

    Tartar sauce and a slice of something like cheese.

    I’ve never once touched or spoken to his older brother and the last time I interacted with his older sister she was 2 months old. I see them at the holidays but keep my distance to avoid a fight with their asshole parents.

    Thanks!

  3. Good luck with the interview. You look very handsome in your shirt and tie. And very buff on the treadmill.

    Jere Keys Reply:

    The treadmill is perfectly positioned to hide my gut when I run or the sight of my bouncing beer belly would probably discourage me from coming back. But thanks.

  4. Jere,
    We would be happy to let you get to know and see your adorable niece and nephews. You know what you need to do to resolve some of the tension in our relationship, apologize to my husband for trying to interfere with his family. It is not nice to make false claims against someone and have them investigated when you did not witness it. In law school, I hope you are learning to principle of INNOCENT until proven guilty. The choice is yours.
    Love,
    Joanna
