This week has been interesting…
Monday… nothing the train did but I was cranky that morning
and if I had thought bubbles coming out of my head, I would have been screwed!
"OMG! Who are you? Pepe Le Pew’s girl friend? Who leaves the
house like that?” I thought as I walked behind a woman with brunet mullet with
a blondish grey strip down the middle. PS She thought she looked so cool! Um, no! The
90’s called and they want their mullet back!
“Who the hell sleeps with you? You’re nasty!” I think about a
man waddling like a god damn weeble down the platform.
“Hurry the f*ck up people!” I complain in my head about the
wide eyed tourists that have never seen a freakin’ train station EVER…
in their LIFE! It’s a train station! No big deal people!! Move along people!
Tuesday… Again… nothing the train did! I left work and hit
the T toward North Station. Once I arrive on the orange line, I’ve got to pop
out and cross the street. I have maybeeeee 3 minutes to get on the train.
Everyone is running! We round the corner and to head through the doors to the
station and OH WAIT… there is an 18 wheeler blocking EVERY DOOR!! No problem
buddy. Just hang tight; we don’t need to catch a train or ANYTHING!!!!! He
inches up and we are all kinda jogging in place to see which way we can go to
get around this guy and to a door. We decide to make a run for it behind him
and hope for the best. After running around and prancing through the doors, we
have 1 minute… ONE MINUTE to get onto the platform and board the train. That is
IT! Chances are slim right now but we are all running. I get to the platform
and the conductor is calling “All Aboard!” I make it and he slams the door
behind me as I catch my breath! PHEW!
Wednesday… I cram onto the T to get to North Station and we are packed like sardines. The guy behind me somehow grabs my a*s! I'm on to you pal! The train wasn't even moving yet sooooo you have no excuse! NONE! I do my best "Oopsy, is there someone behind me" hip chuck-slash-elbow to his gut and stomped on his foot for good measure. He said nothing and knew it was deserved. A*shole!
Thursday… Trains fault! Mechanical issues! I get to the
platform heading in to work and get an alert. It is 25 minutes late. Since I
live around the corner, I head home to spend 15 minutes with my dog and then
come back. I get home and my dog acts as if I was gone ALL DAY LONG! I was gone
10 minutes…tops! I give her a cookie and we play for a bit and then I leave and
it’s as if it’s the end of the world to her…again because I already did this to
her once today. I get to the platform and there are so many people there. I
start to wonder if I’ll get a seat. The train pulls up and everyone boards. I
chat with the train conductor and she tells me that there is another one about
10 minutes behind but she thinks I have a shot at getting a seat on this one. I
take her word for it and she is right! I get a seat and I get to read and relax
on my way in. YAY!
It’s almost Friday people!! Thank goodness because it has
been a WEEEEEEEK!!
