The Zereps

Boy did I have a fun time getting to work today.. I was pretty tired when I woke up this morning, so I lazed around and took a little longer than usual to get ready. So I was going to be 15 minutes late to work–big deal. I take my usual 1-mile hike to the subway station only to find out that all Manhatten-(where I work)bound trains were suspended due to (choose one:) a fire/signal problems. Whatever the reason, hundreds and hundreds of inconvienienced people, mumbling and grumbling, had to find alternate transportation to work, including me. I had a chance meetup with Samantha, who was also in the same predicament as me. We decided (along with many, many other people) the quickest way to get to Manhatten was to take the bus, then transfer to a train that wasn’t suspended. We stood in a line that went around the block to try to get on a bus. Luckily for us, we were pretty close to the front of the line. I had never taken the bus into Manhatten from Queens, so that was an experience. Eventually, I caught a working train and made it to work.. and was only an hour and 15 minutes late. The joys of public transportation. 😉
