The view of Manhattan from Queensboro Plaza train stop. This picture doesn't do it justice, it's a breathtaking view at night!
Today was a really good day. I worked all day, for the most part (11 hours) which was fine, but it was just a day when I noticed New Yorkers doing nice things for each other. It's such a great thing to see, especially when the city because for it's size and pace can feel so cold. It's nice to be reminded that we're all just people jammed in this big city for mainly the same reason and to know that other people must realize that, too, when they go out of their way for each other and for guests to this fine city. It made me really fall in love with the place that much more.
What else has made me fall in love with this city? The cost is the same whether you do your own laundry or pay somebody else to do it for you. I dropped off three weeks worth of laundry, gave them 15 bucks and it came back like this...
Bagged. Folded. Sorted. In a beautiful square pile. And the best part, no effort on my part!
In other news, my job is going quite well. I was supposed to be head cashier, but I've prooven to be more useful on the floor and in merchandising, so that's where I usually find myself. I actually enjoy putting together the displays and organizing everything. Enjoy it so much that I usually find myself staying late to help out. But, hey, it means more money in the paycheck! And I can sure use it! And it's a lot of fun working with Al! We're quite the comic duo at times. But I'm very glad he'll be gone this next weekend, as he's spent almost every waking hour at the store, he needs a vacation, badly. And I need the money, so his vacation and my needing work equals two 10 am to 10 pm days for me next weekend. Jared will be in town (Starting Sunday night!!! YAY!!!!!!!) but I have most of the next week off in order to be with him. I have an interview at a car dealership in Manhattan either Monday or Tuesday (I'm not sure which yet). I doubt anything will come of it, but it could be a REAL job with REAL bennifits and REAL pay! It's fun to dream. And then I can afford my iPhone!
Well, thanks for reading and I hope you're all well!
