MetroCard for the trains (aka subway).

Keisha's second interview took place on the corner of our block at 8th St. And 8th Ave. with a gentleman who she spoke with earlier regarding an open position at his company (I can't recall the name or type of business).

As she walked down the street to meet with him in front of Park Slope Pharmacy, I followed behind pretending to be some guy walking. I laid-in-waiting on the opposite side of the street just to be safe. I sat on brownstone stairs to some doctor's office while talking to my Dad on the phone and kept a sly-eye on them. After all, an interview like this is a bit unorthodox, but we are quickly learning this is how a lot of business is conducted here, so why not entertain the possibility?

The interview outlasted the 20 minute conversation with Dad, so I walked down to 7th Ave. where I spotted the F and G train's 7th Ave. subway station steps. This is the stop I will be using for transportation to and from work. At that moment I remembered I needed a MetroCard one month unlimited pass so I walked down and grabbed one from the machine. $89 gets you the freedom to go anywhere in NYC at any time as many times as you want.

When I returned to street level they were still gabbing away. I began to think about how strange this "interview" was, but then I recalled prior to the meet he explained to her he would not be available until after the holiday, he needs to fill the position immediately and from their first phone conversation she impressed him so that he felt she may be a great match. We both remain skeptical and full-time plus over-time does not match with her need to continue school and have time for Javon (her 10 year old Son). He expressed the need for a decision by tomorrow (today). She's probably going to pass.
