So there was one major observation that I made during the first few days of my work commute. Maybe it had to do with the fact that 99% of all the people that I see downtown from Monday to Friday are dressed in business professional clothes heading to work, or maybe it was a vibe that I felt myself giving off as well.
Everyone in DC walks with a very "self-important" gait; they cruise down the sidewalks (multiple smart phones and coffees in hand) acting as if they own the city. It doesn't matter if you're a lowly intern like me or the president of a venture capital firm, something about this place makes you feel like you're...well, the shit.
I talked to some of my new friends about it and they agreed. I don't have anything to conclude from this observation; I just thought it was interesting. I guess if there's any place for conceited people to congregate, DC would be it. I mean, for all the gossip and nastiness and political scandals that happen here, some great things do come out of the District. Some of the most talented people in the world live here and create serious change (ahem, you're welcome. just kidding :)
Oh, and that photo at the top - part of my daily internship duties requires that I scan the entire New York Times cover-to-cover to monitor any updates for the firm's clients. All I'm thinking is, hello, I get to read the whole New York Times every day for free! So I think I like it here.
