Today was one of those days that every MBTA commuter dreads—something wrong everywhere I turned. I should have gone to the bathroom before leaving the office. I had to pee the whole way home. This completely fucked up my commute tonight. First, the silver line bus I was on went out of service because its… Continue reading Breaking News: Shot Fired From MBTA Bus

T Rant
The MBTA has announced they’re proposing to hike fares again in the near future. Today, there was a woman handing out leaflets and explaining to people why they should fight the fare increase. I only heard part of her discussions, but she basically had two points: 1) Her minimum wage job hasn’t given her a… Continue reading T Rant
Why I hate PTT phones
In the construction industry, our field people live and die by their Nextel push-to-talk (PTT) phones.

My day
I went to check out the new neighborhood today. This is going to rock. I’m able to walk to the T station (Wood Island on the Blue Line) and was able to find my way to 1A north. Hell, even the Airport Blue Line station is within walking distance. The planes weren’t flying overhead today,… Continue reading My day
Commuter Train
Taking the commuter train every day is an interesting experience. We crowd on at South Station. Some of us trek across the city to board at South Station, knowing that the train will be full if boarded at Back Bay Station, and nobody wants to sit in that dreadful center seat. As one looks around… Continue reading Commuter Train
