My First 24 hrs in NYC!!!

Boy o' boy! Miscommunications, bodily injuries, missed meetings....the list goes on....

1st snafu- As much as you love your friends, crashing on their couch (ie, being dependent on them in any way shape or form) can cause complications. Will say no more

2nd- Leaving my apartment for my interview I fall down a flight of steps. Yes I am serious. Stone ones! It was curious actually because I know I fell backwards however I hit the steps on my side but when I landed I was on my face with one of my legs behind me still on the stairs! Surprisingly, it was not as painful as I anticipated bracing myself for the wave of agony to hit me. Actually, I was thinking 'My tights! My new Patent Leather Shoes!'. Even more surprisingly....those too were unscathed:) I stood up shaken and dusted myself off and headed for the subway.

3rd- Subway never came. Waited....and waited....finally lept out of the steamy-even-in-winter underbelly of the city, grabbed a cab and hightailed it to my interview down town. Did I mention it was a $30 cab ride?

4th- I call the secretary to let her know i may be 5mins late. She tells me she will call me in 2mins. She does. As I'm pulling up to her office she tells me I sound far too sick and think it would be best to reschedule.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All that for nothing right?!
I wander around for a bit. I'm a wanderer....it helps me relax. Then I come back to the apt where i find the friend from Snafu #1 and will say no more.

On the bright side I have a breakfast meeting with a potential employer tomorow morning so wish me luck y'all !!!!!
