Day 1: Did you know that it's dark out at 6am?
yeah, I was really tired but that's a window

"The first day isn't that bad. It's the second day that makes you want to die..." Alice warns.
Evening - get a ride home with Daddy. Would have been faster to take the train.
Day 2: Did you know it's cold and rainy at 6am? (sometimes)
Umbrella? Check. Coat and boots? Packed: whereabouts unknown.
Evening - resist the urge to buy beer on the platform.
Day 3: Did you know that it's even darker at 5:30am?
Leave the house at 6:35 to be at work at 8:30.
Evening - train home smells like a urinal cake, which is preferable to alternatives.
Day 4: Snoozed 3 times.
Complete thought: Penn Station is bad for your mental and physical health.
Evening - take the 7 train the wrong way one stop. Sounds about right.
Day 5: Don't act like your'e doing me any favors, Friday.
Just can't get excited about Friday today; it was too hard-earned.
Evening - train cancelled. Do not resist the urge to buy a beer.
But first have to go to this ATM that will definitely not steal my identity.
watch the happy dancing guy :) nothing shady
You heard it here first: the cheapest beer in NYC is at the Hunters Point LIRR station.
I sprung for an imported
these are my people now
Upshot: I survived the week.
I have no perspective on commuting by train, but there is beer?
ReplyDeleteIs there an extra futon I can crash on? I'm clean, quiet and would like a beer on my way home.
Yes, there is beer! Actually today Alice brought wine and paper cups (classy).
DeleteOpinion as a non-New Yorker: Is $2.50 cheap for domestic where you come from also? Because I think it's a good deal for anywhere, let alone NYC.
Yes, that is a steal. I don't think I could get an Amstel for $3.50 either unless it came from my fridge.
DeleteThe aroma on the double-deckers reminds me of Blue Moon. Pleasant the first 5 minutes, cloying for the rest of the trip.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with you on the train smell. Blue Moon? Not so sure.
