Williamsburg Photo du Jour: Sign of the Times
As you can imagine I was more than a little curious to see what this site was about so I looked it up. I was not disappointed:
This is not an ad. This is an uprising. You and I both know we have no money.
I`M ANGRY AND I CAN`T TAKE IT ANYMORE
I went to an interview a month ago. I bought a suit for it. The suit cost me 100 bucks. I was so excited it was my first interview in months.
You know what they did when they looked at my resume for the first time?They didn`t even read my resume when I sent to them. Well anyways they looked once over over my resume and said. “We are sorry we can`t hire you. You are INEXPERIENCED”
INEXPERIENCED? INEXPERIENCED? Is that what all of us recently graduated college students are with student loans and debt? INEXPERIENCED?
WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL THAT EXPENSIVE SCHOOLING FOR??NO ONE IS GIVING ME the light of day for a job. It`s pathetic.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Stray Voltage?
This item has been brought to my attention by the very kindly and dedicated head of the McCarren Park Dog Run, a lady named Christine. She writes:
hi miss heather,
hope you are well…
could you post about stray voltage last night on my way to crafty tuesday one of my little demon dogs – ursula – was shocked by stray voltage on driggs and north 8. there is a metal plate at that intersection and the combination of salt, water, metal and a little voltage cause her to sustain a shock. she cried in tone that was not dog like and tried to get away for the source of her pain. having gone through something like this before i knew it wasn’t salt, it was electricity. ursula is fine. i reported it to 311 who connected me to 911 who got con ed out there to fix the situation.dogs do die from these type of shocks. it is best to report them! call 311 or 911 and report that your dog was shocked and the location. most of all be care around any metal with this weather.
Christine has contacted Consolidated Edison and has an update:
Spoke to the con Ed men last night. Asked how much was the voltage? Which they responded there was no stray voltage. I explain yes there was since my pup was shocked … They were nope no voltage so I was like so why have you been here the last 36 hours which at first they we no haven’t and then a supervisor came out of the truck to say yes and asked how my dog was who had since started barking at them. As of this morning con Ed is gone and have replace the metal plate with this grated plate I guess so the water and salt don’t pool?

Williamsburg Halloween Watch: Presenting The Hipster Pumpkin
When I spied this on North 8 Street this afternoon I couldn’t help but chuckle. If what I have observed on Bedford Avenue is any indication, the glasses are spot-on— but the keffiyeh? That’s so 2009. In any case if the Great Pumpkin (a la Peanuts) is a giver of toys what— may I ask— does the hipster pumpkin dispense? That, dear readers, I will leave to your imagination (and comments)!
