Ah, New York.
I just got a phone call from someone who has at last found an apartment that she and her husband are excited about renting. Great location, the whole thing. They even bargained a couple hundred off the monthly rent.
Was she thrilled? No. She was guilt-ridden, bewailing the damage she’d done to her immortal soul, her karma, and her good name. Because taking the apartment meant a bad break-up with her broker, who had not helped them find the place. She sent the broker ‘a nice gift’ after breaking the news—and no, I don’t know what it was—but the awful feeling persists.
What this town does to rational people sometimes, I swear.
