Mall Girl

So, my day job is moving in May, due to the merger with another company. This week we got to tour the place we're going to. It's ... in the Mall! The Manhattan Mall, which does not have a great reputation, and for good reason. It has stores like "Top Gun Leather and Clothing" and "Oasis Tee Hat and Cap Inc." Okay, it does have a Vicy's S and Express, but come on!

There aren't many actual malls in Manhattan; well, I suppose the whole of Manhattan is a mall, in a way. There's the Shops at Columbus Circle, which is mostly upscale; there's the South Street Seaport shopping center (touristy!); and the Atlantic Center with the Target in Brooklyn near me. I like malls because they're convenient. And it's easy to comparison shop. But, really, that's about where the affair ends.

I am grateful there is a separate entrance for my workplace. And it's on the sixth floor, so it's above the mall, but one can still look down through the glass and see the mall below! So weird! The space is really well designed, and it's bustling, so it's good. ...But it's also across from Macy's, so my paychecks could be in grave danger.

And ... you know ... I could be a mall girl again ... errr ... it could be research for a part ... or something!!!
