New York City vs. New Jersey: Workplaces

A lot of people from New Jersey commute into the City in order to get to work (partially because there are a lot of jobs in the city, partially because New Jersey is the armpit of America), but is the trip really worth it?


Well, it's not really so clear. For starters, I found this little gem just inside of a loading dock in Midtown Manhattan:







I'm not sure if likening leaving the workplace to death is great for morale. Of course, seeing your possible death might not be the healthiest daily experience, either. Just look at this guy's office on 39th Street and Broadway:





I guess being able to pretend that you're non-emo Spiderman might be pretty cool, though.

In any case, as with most aspects of life, things could always be worse. You see, there's this place called New Jersey and there's a reason people avoid working there...





...yeah. For those of you who don't know, this is a Fluffer. (Link is SFW) Notice, I don't actually have a picture of that workplace.

Yes, I know that's probably not what they meant, but you'd think employers would be a little more careful...

Then again, I wouldn't put it past them.

Walking 12 Miles To New Jersey: Bad Idea

Today, in an attempt to stave off nerdy pastiness, I took a 12+ mile walk to New Jersey via the George Washington Bridge.

When all was said and done, I'd seen some things I'd never realized existed, became the proud new owner of a tremendous sunburn on the back of my neck, and incurred the wrath of the chafing gods (the only deities I believe in, by the way) in places that I don't feel comfortable talking about.

Now that I've blinded your mind's eye, let me just say that there is no worse destination for a walk than Fort Lee, New Jersey. There is nothing there.

Actually, now that I think about it, New Jersey is just somewhere that you should avoid in general.

Well, all was not lost though, because today, I found Jesus...

...'s Taco. Apparently, this is a chain of restaurants in Harlem. I didn't eat there, however, because I feared the food could have burned my heathen stomach... Mexican food tends to do that when you're on the move, among other things.

Well, thankfully, not all things today were disgusting and cancer-inducing.

After returning home, I played a bit of Fixed Limit Hold 'Em, seeing as I was down to about 65 cents.

For whatever reason, the players on those tables are kind of... I don't know... let's say, fail-worthy.

So, essentially I've been feasting off of other player's terrible decisions and have made it to a new high at a whopping $2.91!

$50,000, here we come!
