New Road Trip...

well, it seems to be a significant time of transition for me lately.

my days at the hallowed halls of city hall have come to an end. july 28, 2006. just a little over two years when i started there. what a view of politics from the inside...

i will miss all the cool people who have allowed me to grow, contribute, and have a great time. (you know who you are.) and i definitely will not miss the uncool people. (i don't care if they do or don't know who they are.)

i will be moving on to do PR for CarryOn Communications. (more on them on later blogs.) but for now, here's a proclamation my wonderful co-workers made for me. what a twisted bunch...

------------------


Whereas, the City of Jersey City is proud to honor Veronica Lontoc Lavarro, who has graced us with her presence in both the Mayor's and Communications Offices;

Whereas, Veronica is known to the bartenders at the Merchant as "Little One" and sips way too many Malibu and pineapples at our satellite office;

Whereas, when Veronica realized that when Mama Vi really and truly retired she would have to write these expletive deleted proclamations, we surmise then she immediately began looking for other employment;

Whereas, when most people first meet "V" she comes across as a shy retiring person, but after you get to know her, one realizes she curses like a sailor, has a really loud mouth and clomps around like a Clydesdale even though she weighs less than 100 pounds;

Whereas, everyone has heard that sarcastic "Whatever" phrase pass her lips while rolling eyes one too many times with those goofy silly smirks;

Whereas, everyone who has worked in our offices has enjoyed V's energy and good nature, and she will be missed very much by every person who has come to know her;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT I, JERRAMIAH T. HEALY, MAYOR of the City of Jersey City, hereby declare that today is Veronica Lontoc Lavarro Day in honor of all of her accomplishments.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and the Seal of the Office of the Mayor to be afficed this 28th day of July in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand Six.

(Signed)
JERRAMIAH T. HEALY
MAYOR
