Where is this red cube?!?!
Today is July 7th, 2010.
My boss, Jen Phillips, CEO of Red Light PR called me this morning. I was sitting at Lyric Diner, where you can get eggs, toast, home fries and toast for a whopping $3.85. So Sara, Hannah and I walked the 2 blocks over there this morning. When my phone rang, I didn't recognize the number and had no idea who it was. It was Jen, and she told me she was too sick to have anyone in the showroom today. She told me to call Buffy, the other intern and tell her not to come in either. I felt bad for her because she sounded like a dying frog (poor thing) BUT 1.) I had the day off to do whatever I wanted and 2.) out of all 5 interns, Jen chose to call me to tell take the responsibility of notifying everyone else. It could have been the fact that I had emailed her earlier that morning, asking her to let me know if she needed anything to call me and left my phone number, because I knew she hadn't been feeling well the day before. Whatever the case, let me bask in my glory. I try to refer to the Devil Wears Prada and ask WWASD? What would Andrea Sachs do? Jen is nothing like Miranda Priestly, but in order to climb the ladder from below the bottom of the PR food chain, you must do what others dont even think twice about. Like to email your boss at 7 in the morning and ask if she needs anything on the way in. Or re-stocking the fridge with coconut water without being asked.
Anyways, I decided to take some time to day to take pictures with my Nikon. People ask me what I like to take pictures of, and I honestly like buildings and landscapes best. There have been a few sculptures and buildings that I have been wanting to take pictures of, so I decided a hot, muggy, Wednesday afternoon would be the time to do it. I went home, charged my camera for a bit and then I was off. I wanted to take a picture of this red block, but all I knew was that it was in the financial district. Big help, I know. So I hop on the N train, something I've never taken before and end up in Brooklyn. Took the train back to the Manhattan side, walked around for 30 minutes in 100 degree humid weather, looked at my phone GPS, looked to see what street I was on, looked back at my GPS... you get the picture. Sweat was dripping from my chin and my feet felt like they were on fire. I really wanted to find this cube. and I did.
After that, I went and grabbed lunch and came back and slept for 3 hours. It was a nice day off. I got some pictures taken that will be for my new house, and I got a long nap while everyone else was slaving away at work.
Good night, NYC
