week 6 prompt 2

When you finally arrived... it was like nothing you imagined. When she finally arrived to her new job after 7 hours of travel, Allison realized that she had forgotten her schedule that informed her of which floor to be on. With her new job starting on the wrong foot she took a look around. She was in one of the largest buildings in New York City. She was amazed because her interview took place in a small office on the out skirts of the city. They called her in on her top notch marketing skills but she wasn't aware of how large a job opportunity she had accepted. The inside of the building g was full of granite floors,tall ceilings. She caught herself trying to figure out just how tall they were. The ceiling was unique. Combined with a victorian /English style feel it truly amazed her. She looked down at her outfit hoping she looked like she belonged. She looked up at a few younger woman, shipping their coffee outside an elevator door. Now they looked professional. She sucked up her nervous feeling, brushed her business jacket straight and proceeded toward the granite top desk to ask for directions... Now I know this assignment is a prompt, a spring board on place. I wanted to do personal experience on place and a story created on place.

  1. Nothing wrong at all in using a description of place to do a bit of story and personal experience--on the contrary, the personal aspect sharpens and polishes the place description.

    My only worry here is that "one of the largest buildings" in NYC can't be in the outer boroughs or outskirts; it would have to be in midtown or downtown Manhattan.
