It was yet another busy day for La Pauline yesterday, although most days lately have been a lot like this. Today I'm off to another showing and then I'm actually taking some time off to have tea with friends in Harlem.
6:30 AM: Woke up to a nasty e-mail from a guy I had to cancel on for an appointment, because I had to tie up some nuts and bolts at the office. He seemed to have a hard time grasping the fact that sometimes plans have to change. I can't be in two two boroughs at once. A colleague took him out instead.
9:00 AM: Dropped off Valentino at the Vet to get him fixed. I like the new vet, who is three blocks from TR's place in Murray Hill.
10:00 AM: In the office and waiting for a woman to come in to put in an application for a studio in Midtown. For $1900 a month she got a studio in a doorman building. This is not the norm. I am happy to have found her an incredible deal.
10:15 AM: While waiting for the studio client, I called to see if another client was approved for a duplex in Park Slope. The other broker didn't know quite yet but said to me, "Pauline, it's only 10:00 in the morning."
I said, "Only 10:00? I've been up since 6:00 a.m."
10:30 AM: Yet another client who needed a furnished one bedroom calls me to tell me he wants to put in an application for a modern building on Pine Street. I contact the listing agent and zip it over.
11:00 AM: The studio client came in an filled out paperwork. She leaves happy that she found a place and can go home to Miami in peace.
11:15 AM: Park Slope family is approved for their duplex. Awesome.
I spend most of the early afternoon running a search for one bedrooms in Murray Hill.
3:00 PM: Met up with client to view Murray Hill one bedrooms. After an hour of looking at places with tiny living rooms, we decide to try Midtown East and the Upper East Side on Saturday.
4:00 PM: Stopped by the office to look for new places for Murray Hill client. While pulling my phone charger out of the wall, I accidentally pulled out the whole power strip, and blacked out a whole row of computers. Sorry!
6:30 PM: After stopping at home to check on Val, who was recovering nicely from getting fixed, I hopped up to Whiskey Blue to meet some Junior League friends for drinks. Someone points out that I look a little tired. Strawberry mojitos never tasted so good.
8:30 PM: We decide to hit the Hudson Hotel and get bottle service. It was the perfect night to sit on the outside deck with vodka mixers.
10:30 PM: Back at home in Murray Hill.
