Commuter Chronicles

So I woke up this morning and proceeded to get ready to go to work.

First thing I had to do was drop a Entrecard on Jeff Buzz’s site. Why? Because I got some good info from him and he guest blogged on my page. Whoohoo.

Feel free to ask me to guest blog. I’ll always say yes. Hint hint.

Jeff was one of the good links I found browsing John Cow…..

But I digress.

So I decide that this morning’s snowy commute would be worry free. I stepped outside watching yesterdays snow on the ground(have you noticed how many NY bloggers have snow pics now) saying I my head. “this will be a incident free trip, this will be an incident free trip”

Boy who was I kidding? As with Murphy’s law what can go wrong, will go wrong, and how’s that for an inspirational quote.

Firstly my metro card refused to work and of course my friendly neighborhood MTA worker is all busy polishing her nails so she can’t help. Or maybe she decided i was speaking Chinese.

The result? I had to buy another card.

On to the ride. First train came just on time. No hassles.

The second, just never seemed to show up…….

What would have helped myself, and all the other commuters waiting to get to their destination, was an announcement from the train that we just got off, or some signs stating that there are no local trains at this station!!!!

I’ll chalk that one up to my flaw. I should have known better and paid attention in foresight class.

So back to the express, which mind you seemed to stop coming the minute we all finally realized there was no local, and on to take the train up then back down.

Did it end there?

Why of course not. Why should it.

This lady sits next to me on the ride and she smells. And when I say smell I mean smell. Fish and rotten tomatoes smell. I WISHED I WAS ALONE!!

Now if I held my breath and looked at her, she was drop dead gorgeous and all dressed up like she was going to walk the runway. She reminded me of a Leonor Watling photo I saw. I feel sorry for the next person she hugs.

On the complete opposite of the spectrum was the woman sitting across from me. She had one some really nice perfume but her face made you want to show her a plastic surgeon pamphlet and say “Need a Lift?”

Oh well I did make it to my stop and now I’m here trying to win EC’s from Joe Tech , hoping I had the sense to save this week and wondering what would Simon Cowell say about my blog or about my other site Poetical Justice
