Not on board at all

Some days the stars just align. I worked from home today because I had to visit the doctor today (nothing serious) and a series of unfortunate events transpired today that I was lucky enough to avoid. First, electric problems caused delays for all trains the morning, which, having had to meander around New York/Hoboken to get around this before, I can aver is awful.

Then around 3:00 I heard from coworkers that a fire alarm had sent everyone out of our building, though to be fair, it was a nice day to be outside. Naturally, I laughed and laughed at having missed all of this, which can only mean that tomorrow will be exponentially worse, and I should go ahead and plan on karmic retribution. Stupid karma.

On board, and keep walking

This is a public service announcement:

When boarding the train, walk to the center of the care before sitting. This will allow passengers boarding after you to find a seat and will result in a smoother flow of traffic. Sitting in the first available seat - when there are many others beyond it - will cause a logjam of passengers waiting behind you while you stand in the aisle waiting for someone to stand up and let you in.

Thank you for your attention.
