Rail broke on the Manhattan Bridge, sick passenger in the train in front of me and then when the trains finally got past the bottleneck, some woman is holding the doors open screaming “What’s the next stop!” and we are all yelling what that stop is and adding, “Are you in the fucking train or not? WE GOTTA GO!” Not just me, EVERYBODY on the train… A full spectrum of frustrated humanity.

What a happy morning.

Worst new year ever. Sheds shred!

JakeGould:

@BronwynB: Yup. But what was even worse is you know hwo all announcements are now done by the conductors? And not prerecorded anymore? Instead of just getting to the point, they do some overly schmoozy “customer service” oriented announcement. So everyone was also just mumbling… “Just close the doors and go!”

Worst commute ever… At least until the L train shutdown ruins all the other lines.

JakeGould:

@queems: “i have more empathy when i imagine an actual sick passenger.” NewsFlash™: That phrase “sick passenger” can mean anything. Actual sick passenger, someone hit by a train, homeless person dragging their bags of belongs laboriously off the train and getting confrontational with people… One “sick passenger” situation I saw late at night was some woman and man getting into a fight and she was beating him with a shopping bag.

Don’t pretend that human voice announcement thing is more accurate.
  12:24pm

She was sick of the guy and he was sick of being beaten with a shopping bag.

I once had a job I had to clock in for (the only one in my life). To account for the subway, I could get there an hour early, or just show late occasionally and get reprimanded. I chose the latter and told my boss likewise. He told me it was out of his hands.

Avatar 12:43pm
northguineahills:

@Wild Neil: Yes I did, but it was the max and the same as DC, so it did not make up for the cost of living. I started at GS-10 and four years later, I made GS-13. However, once all of the analysis of the Census was over, all jobs were cut, although I was offered a position in DC, which I refused. In retrospect, the last 7 years would have been more steady workwise if I accepted, but I'm happier today, just w/o savings.

@queems: That would drive me insane (I showed up today at 9:45 for work).

Also, I don’t really like those huge apples they sell nowadays. If I am forced to eat one, I eat half of it and then see if I can toss the rest to the squirrels.
