That girl at the bar.
Allison Mooney, 27, whose first job in the city was in publishing, often skipped dinner before going out, and instead took along mixed salted nuts in her purse. When things got really tight, she occasionally sneaked a flask filled with vodka into bars. Other times, she reluctantly resorted to flirting.“I find in other cities guys are more apt to buy you drinks and expect nothing from it,” Ms. Mooney said.“Here, if they do buy you a drink, which is rare, you have to suffer through flirtations. It’s true,” she said, adding, “It’s really cheesy.”Meanwhile, the whole time she’s out there batting her eyelashes to try to save money, she has a boyfriend. Girls like this? Are the ones who are cheesy.Being a guy in publishing in new york is AWESOME. Just glad I’m not longer suffering through the singles scene too.
Publishing in New York: it has to be a hard place to work!
Nevertheless I’d love to be there.
