Caught Napping
One of the things I love about NYC is the huge variety of services available, and at all hours as well. If I want Indian food at two in the morning, I can get it. However, this "city that never sleeps" surprised me today when I tried to make some copies of my resume. For starters, I struggled with my printer to create a double-sided page. I know some people say it should only be one side, but I need at least two pages to include all of my embellishments.
After printing, I wanted to make more copies and use some nicer paper. As it was only 4:30 I figured it would be a snap to get some professional copies made. I strolled to a nearby copy place but the clerk was outside and he said they were closed. The sign on the door said 9 PM but I guess they closed early for the holiday. He suggested a nearby Kinko's which also turned out to be closed. I thought the whole point of Kinko's was that they were open 24-7, but it seems that Memorial Day trumps business philosophies. Rather than search any further I went home. Fortunately this was no emergency, but does anyone else find my inability to get a photocopy made in the middle of afternoon spooky?
No? Well, it sucked.

I think I'm ready for it. (The music, that is...) And as for Kinkos, I know-- I hate that shit. But I think I'm in your neighborhood and yes-- everything shut down today. It sucked. (Except for the street fair on Madison of course...)
