Empire State of Mind
I went to the city this morning to take care of some paperwork, which required me to go to my company's midtown headquarters. I've been working in downtown Brooklyn for about a year now. When I got out the subway station this morning, it felt it was the first time I was visiting NYC. There's so much energy in Manhattan that is sorely lacking at my current location.
The way people are dressed, the hustle and bustle in everyone's movement, the loud sound of early morning construction mixed in with the other sounds of city . . . it all made me really miss working in the city. I felt like a country bumpkin visiting a big city for the first time.
The midtown location makes my current location feel like a garage. I tried my best to not be impressed by the simplest things (beautiful wooden furniture!) but it was hard. The paperwork only took about 10 minutes to complete and then it was off to the dungeons of Brooklyn after that.
In other news, I am terribly disappointed with myself this last billing cycle. I overspent my budget by about $300-400, which really hurts. I blame the holiday season, but I guess on the bright side I was doing my patriotic duty by stimulating the economy.
