Sup my bitties! Jale posted on Facebook that she's going through a funk so let's send her good vibes!!

My weekend update was funsies as always!

Friday I went to a First Friday arts event with galleries, street musicians, food trucks, local artisans, and more in Oakland! FYI Oakland is 10 minutes from San Francisco. Literally. 10. Minutes.

After I met up with Maggie Graham another UVA alum, and Jessie Wright to go to Maggie's housewarming-slash-going away party! She was training in SF for this job she's taking up north of here. Drinks and campfire times. Jessie is dating this guy from Amsterdam and she is struggling with whether it will work out or not. Rough stuff.

Saturday I went rug shopping and furniture shopping with Diana, whom I'm staying with in SF. I haggled with the Turkish guys there! So proud. I spoke Turkish to them and they loved me. It's seriously the best thing. Go learn Turkish now.

Went to a Vivian Meyer Art exhibit. Go see this documentary now! It's on Amazon or Netflix or something. She is a BRILLIANT photographer. I absolutely love her work. Seeing the art in person was just so cool. Went to a French cafe for lunch and then napped most of the afternoon.

Sunday was daydrinking day!!! Some friends came over and we brunched in the back yard and then hung out on the front stoop and heckled the tourists. Really nice people. One of the guys said he'd cut my hair - OMG yes.

Today kinda sucked, mostly since I've decided that this isn't the right job for me, but not because of the people but because I disagree with the leadership. I just don't feel like I'm working for smart people, and I've just lost my respect for these guys. But I'm still chugging through, working hard and now I'm trying to find something in the startup space in Seattle. Or does something like that even exist?? Need to find my exit strategy! Yikes.

Love you guys!

COOL ABOUT THE TURKISH HAGGLING. Of course that's what I'm most excited about in your email, Kaity. And chug on, darlin'. It's rough, but trust yourself! You can ABSOLUTELY find startup work in Seattle (there have to be lots of opportunities, and you're a stellar networker).

Okay... this is going to be a short one because work is EATING MY BRAIN now.

Thursday - super nice work dinner for Palestinian-Israeli program in the works. Exciting!
Friday - Eddie Izzard with Squariel! BEST. EVER. I left covered in bees.
Saturday - Errands, U Street funk parade (but we missed the walking and just got some funky music). Ariel's bday dinner. David's going away gathering. Drunkenness.
Sunday - Bottomless drinks at brunch with Saide & the trivia boys, tipsy zoo wandering. Adam came over for dinner. LIKE. HIM.
Cinco de drinko - Went to an open bar with Adam and his friends, talked to an astronaut, then gay bar for "Musical Theater Mondays"--musical numbers on all TVs the whole night, cheap drinks, lots of gay men singing.
