"Wall Street Walk"

Off To Work 9 To 5 VS Goth 2 Goth
Depending on which subway I take in the morning, I walk the entire strip of Wall Street starting at Broadway and ending on South Street (near the South St. Seaport) and out of all the buildings on the whole strip one of them (my building) is solely devoted to nonprofit organizations--it's the last building on the strip. And it's so funny to me to walk down Wall St. and try to pick out who works in our building.

Some sure signs of a nonprofit employee:


  • Even if we're wearing a suit, we've got flip flops on with a ratty old orange tote bag with threads for straps
  • We're the ones wearing faded jeans (everyday) with sneakers (not loafers)
  • We walk fast cause 9 times out of 10 we're late and we don't have those stiletto business shoes pinching our toes.
  • A tattoo or piercing is peeking out from somewhere
  • Last but not least, we're the ones on line for the pizza truck not cause it's trendy but a $2 lunch is all we can afford on a nonprofit salary.

Laugh That made me laugh!
