This morning was about 20 degrees out! The train arrived
about 8 minutes late but that’s not horrible on a day like today. I was
completely expecting it to be much later because of the snow, ice and
temperature. So, only 8 minutes behind is not bad. Yay! We are in good shape!
I get on the train and there are no lights on…which also
means, the heat is not on either. I remove my sunglasses so that I can actually
see on the train and not walk into people (I say this as I was behind a blind
woman this morning…I’m going to hell, I know!)
I finally find a seat and get situated only to smell moth
balls! WHO… IN THE YEAR OF 2017 uses moth balls?!? I would like to know AND we
are well into winter where that fresh out-of-the-closet-moth-ball-scent should
fekking be gone by now! Just saying!!
So, while I suffer in no heat and moth ball scent (I hope to
GOD, that smell didn’t rub off on me!!), I see out of the corner of my eye a
man’s hand going up and down, up and down. I think the worst as I try to calmly
sip my tea. It continues so I give a death glare over his way. Come to find
out, it was not the worst! (Thank god!!) He was just rubbing his hands together
to keep them warm in our no heat situation!
Once we arrive at North Station, we all pile out of the
train on to the platform and since I already have a chill and am cranky from
moth ball smell, I am less than forgiving to the jerk that bumps into me and then
stares at me all bewildered. I give my mean eyes again and I thought that I thought
this in my head but nope… I said it out loud “Don’t looook at meee!” he looks
down on the ground without saying anything and I continue on my way sipping my
tea and trying to regain a better mood.
NOTE: Since I have warmed up and have confirmed moth ball
scent has not traveled with me, I am in good shape and happier! SO YAY for
that!!
