day 23: under construction

new york is in a constant state of construction. usually when there's no scaffolding over a sidewalk and i can see the whole front of a building i freak out. my brain can't comprehend it. where are the construction workers inappropriately whistling or making kissing noises in my face? (note to construction workers - stop. women hate it. seriously. we hate that shit. if i didn't think you'd kill me with a hammer or piece of wood, i would punch you then run away really fast.) where are the tall metal poles obstructing the sidewalk so you have to drop kick a tourist to the ground in order to get by. but mostly its how fast they get that shit down overnight. one day you're walking home from work and under scaffolding and the next morning.... nothing. clean sidewalks. a miracle i tell you.

so on that note.... here's some supah-fly scaffolding for you all. see how they built a wall to "protect" pedestrians from oncoming traffic. you'll be run over by a construction truck at the end of this walk way, but hit by oncoming traffic... you'll be safe.
