Provided by the compucert Yesterday I had to head out of the office. Anytime I do so I try to hit as many clients at the same time. I started the day off with five appointments for the day.
Big mistake.
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year. In addition, they were warning that there was an "poor air quality" for the day. That means that anyone with any respiratory problems may have problems breathing. Regardless, I braved the heat and the humidity.
I truly love New York City. As I wander around being pounded endlessly by the heat I like to watch the reactions of others in this diverse city. You have the full range. Businessmen dressed perfectly in their Italian suits, and somehow never break a sweat. Men in "business casual" seemingly melting in the heat. Sloppy people dressed in near rags by choice. I saw one guy who actually had on two t-shirts and a long sleeved shirt on top.
Then you have the women. Ahh the many lovely forms and shapes. Each one is beautiful in her own way. And they are ALL so lucky. Women seem to be able to get away with wearing as little as they want and no one will say a word. In addition, this is apparently the year when "complete nudity" is in style, or something close to that. Women from the age of 17 to 70 are about as close to nude as possible, without getting arrested. The mini skirt seems to have transformed into a belt. Shorts are only "daisy dukes" unless it's some other form of hot pants. Backless garments. Plunging necklines down to the navel. No man in NYC really needs pr0n, as long as these seductresses wander about.
They even seem to have wised up. It never ceases to amaze me how women always feel cold, but never learn to carry a light sweater... UNTIL NOW! During the heat of the day I duck onto a downtown N Train and see this lovely woman dash on as well. A bandage might've offered more coverage. She was a couple scraps of cloth from her six-foot-self being nekkid. She sits. She grimaces. She pulls out a sweater from her bag and puts it on. I saw this occur about 4 other times during my rounds to clients. Amazing.
Another interesting new fashion appears to be invisible skirts. I was walking along and a girl walks out in front of me. Lo and behold you can see right through this long white skirt and see her legs and ass perfectly. I was wondering if I should've pointed this out, but thought wiser of it. She walks out nude, but I would be the creep for noticing it. Forget it. I crossed the street to avoid any unpleasantries. However, I later saw a very large woman wearing the same type of skirt. This wasn't as pleasant to behold, but it seems to be okay with these brawds to be exhibitionists. Hey, who am I to tell them otherwise?
Getting back to the day, I was going to my various clients and trying to get from one to the next as fast as possible to avoid the heat.
It didn't work.
By the time I got to my last appointment of the day I was feeling a bit ill. My client, Rafael, became immediately concerned, saying that he insisted that I have a drink because I wasn't looking well at all. It's funny how a couple glasses of sparkling water can really set you straight when you're suffering from dehydration. And that bad air thing was getting to me the entire day too. I was huffing and puffing shallow breaths and my lungs were burning. I haven't had an asthma attack in years.
I had to blow off client number five. I ended up getting back to the office at 4:55 just to pick up my keys. I had to endure the heat all the way back to Bayside where my car was parked.
Of course, the sky opened up with rain the moment I stepped off the bus. Not a great day. But the storm was just the cool air coming in to join us for a little while. The temperatures dropped noticeably very quickly, and has remained pleasant ever since.
