Deliveries and Dogs

The commute home on Wednesday, the say of the protests, was actually not bad at all. What was worse was the ride into the city on Thursday morning, which took nearly 1 hour and 15 minutes! That is just too long for a morning commute.

What made more challenging was the lady sitting behind me yapping the entire way in Russian. I am more lenient with cell phone talkers on the commute home, but in the mornings, many of us are resting or napping, or enjoying the quiet hum of the bus. I did, however, get to observe a lady do her full make-up, which included the eyelash curler. Wow, was that part tricky. But she managed not to lose an eye.

Today, the weather was crappy and I was running late so I took the X27 bus, which is the downtown local version of the X37 express. I was tired and slept through my stop at Cortland Street, so I decided to stay on the bus until I got to 34th Street. It took just over an hour and I snuck into the office around 10:15 am.
