Neighborly Notes

If she needs this sort of quiet to sleep maybe she shouldn't live in NYC.

This. I keep hoping that I don't end up having to choose between not having a job and living in NYC.

Don't be such a pussy. Besides you wouldn't have to - you could commute in from Jersey.

Life must suck as a poor.  More than one family in the same building?  TEH HORROR

Goddamn, after dealing with some of the moron neighbors I've had, high heels in the hallway and bathroom fans certainly beats calling the cops every two weeks for Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot Night right after payday.

I realized I could be on that list. My boots could be described as...elevated.

Also this is the Village. Of course the gripes are going to be rather minor all things considered.

But do you walk in them wrong?

[garbon]

No, my mother raised me right!

It seems a bit odd to be complaining about things like a bathroom fan and "walking wrong" in high heels. (How does one walk wrong in high heels?)

I give her (I'm guessing by the tone that it's a woman) about a month before she's looking for a new place. Most likely on the top floor of a three-floor walk-up.

bathroom fan can be really annoying.  in my first apt, that wasn't a problem.  But the one I had in Quebec city last year, fucking annoying for the times I was there.  The tenant below me often woke up earlier, and I could hear the freaking fan all morning.  Wich is a problem when you barely sleep at night.

I read today that carpenters in New Yor now make 100$/hour.
I just can't imagine how much it costs living there to warrant this kind of wage.  Heck, I've seen Montreal's house, in a place where no one wants to live, a house that looked like it had recently been hit by a fire accident and it was selling for 250k$.
Now, a house in NY?  It must be selling at 1M$ for 20' x 24'.

Someone had already torn both signs down when I went out tonight.

Speaking of high heels - am I the only one who gets annoyed by shitty poor people who wear elevated shoes with hard heels, that make a loud noise when you walk? Sure, if you are Sarah Jessica Parker going to the Oscar night, by all means wear high heels, but if you are some stupid soccer mom in Tesco-bought clothes, then buy some flat shoes and stop making so much noise, you stupid bitch.

AAre they like Pee Wee Herman's boots from Pee Wee's Big Adventure?

Yes.

Sorry, zoned out for a while there. But no, you're far from unique I'm afraid.
