More Sidewalk Thoughts

I'm sorry to do this, but when I'm walking around outside on the sidewalks of New York, I find the most interesting things to ramble about in my mind. I have no other explanation but that I think New York just inspires me. I don't know what it is about this city, but I really need it to get cold here. The constant temperature change is something that I'm having a very hard time dealing with.
The instant I go outside, I start sweating. I don't know what it is. I'm comfortable all day, but as soon as I start walking around outside, I just start sweating profusely. I've been going to job interviews, handing out resumes, and the whole time I'm in a suit, and I've just been walking around sweating. I feel like once I get to the interview, there is no point any more. They are just going to say to themselves, "Who's this guy? He's so sweaty. Why would we hire this sweaty guy?"
My suit at this point, after a few of these interviews, is starting to stink. It's the only suit I own, and I'm worried that if I get it dry cleaned, something's going to happen to it. It will get shrunk or ruined some how and then I will have 0 suits. When I have that to think about, I end up going home. I find solace in taking the subway and watching the tracks for rats while I'm waiting for the train to show up.
The rats that are all over New York are just so interesting to watch. I don't know how women or people are scared of rats and still like cuddly animals. Rats are cuddly creatures, too. Rats are one of the more pleasant vermin to have infest your living space, I believe. In New York, you really have two choices: rats or cockroaches. I don't care who you talk to, but rats are way more cuddly than cockroaches. They're just so cute, with their tails and their whiskers. Sure, they're carriers of vast amounts of infectious diseases, but who isn't these days?
