When it rains, it pours -like New York summer rain! 🌧 Prime example, last weekend when me and the #MadMate @enachmusic biked to #MadisonSquarePark to view the #Manhattanhenge where the sunset perfectly aligned between buildings if you looked down a particular street during a particular time of the year #ichigoichie. After the failed sighting from being too cloudy, we sat at the outdoor tables and chatted. Then out of nowhere it started to rain, but in a #NYminute of extreme weathers, it not only rained, it POURED! We ducked for cover under the porous awning of #ShakeShack, the droplets pelted down foreshadowing the hectic week I was to have. My week, filled with interviewing handfuls of prospective roomies, scrambling for replacing the dropped candidates, to pressing for application submissions, to hosting an apartment tour, and to pushing management to hurry and finalize the lease already. In the midst of all that flurry, a referral from my old boss dropped in which lead to my scrambling to perfect my resume, tailoring my cover letter, to finally cleaning up my portfolio for publishing, prepping for a group interview, a one-on-one interview, and comping my skillset to proposition my rate. Whew. But to hop on the #caketrend in internetlands that @notkaranshah showed me, my week concluded in an upward trajectory worthy of a celebratory cake. 🍰💁🏻♀️ Roommates finalized. New job not finalized but at least my resume was forced to be ready and it’s a relief to know the real estate industry is still thriving despite the Covid dent on the economy. O yeah - then on the family front for my parents’ 40th anniversary, we decided last minute for a big family Zoom party which I offered to make the slideshow for. Then while putting my phone on a much needed timeout so I could decompress and recharge, I got 8 missed calls from my mom to urgently tell me the Zoom meeting got moved up and I’ll have even less time to prepare the slide. So yup. #WhenItRainsItPours. 💦 @AMUSINGTHEMUSINGS 07/20/20 MUSES: #mondaymusings #madmates #madtales #anewyorkthing #anewyorkstory #newyorklife (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3467tjtbA/?igshid=e1mqu5ihfhs6
