The Rain Falls Hard on a Humdrum Town

[octothorpe]

Last night I had quite a bit of work to do. I started it around 10:30pm, only to discover I failed to re-copy the latest version of the documents to my laptop. I hoped they were on the server at work. Of course, the server is totally inaccessible from my house, as we don't have a replacement VPN (long story). This meant I had to come into the office early to do all the stuff I couldn't do in the evening. Grrr!!!

Well, remember yesterday when I didn't have enough quarters? Well, my parking space became a $31.25 parking space. I knew it was going to happen, and there was nothing I can do. I just hope I remember to pay it. This morning, I made sure to grab enough quarters.

As usual on foul days, the train was late by 10 minutes, but I managed to take a full-express. Quite a fast train, so I didn't mind the lack of seats. I was in GCT in just under 40 minutes. Due to the rain, I decided not to take the 6 train I usually take, and instead took the Shuttle to Times Square, then the 1 to 28th street. I now know why the 1 train is called the 1… there is only one of them. I waited for 20 minutes for one to arrive. Meanwhile, no less than six express trains arrived and departed. Had I been a bright lad, I would have taken the N/R, as I believe it's closer to the office (B'way and 28th, IIRC), but I didn't want to chance it.

So wish me luck. I have meetings all day, and only precious few minutes to finish these wireframes.

Cheers!

It's a world of laughther a world of tears
It's a world of hope and and world of fear
There's so much that we share
That it's time we all care
It's a small world after all

The N/R probably wouldn't be much better since that stands for Never and Rarely.

When I was taking the commuter rail to Boston every day, I noticed that there were always delays due to "switch malfunctions" whenever it rained. One would think that these switches would have been designed & built to be weathertight, no?

When it rains, it pours!

I wish you luck, but I don't think you will need it. Instead, I will wish that you did not forget your deoderant! -lol- That, you may indeed need with all the rushing about. And only $31.25! Wow, that's cheap, around here they start at $50.00!

well, the ticket was $30, but I put $1.25 into the machine, so...

But yes, it is cheap. In NYC I believe it's $75. There is a reason I don't drive in!

This town will drag you down.

So after all that work, during the meeting they decided they didn't want the product catalogue in the B2B Area anyway!!

All that work… gone!

But that's ok, as we actually nailed down what they *really* want from their B2B area, and it has made the whole site much more consistent.

I remember my dad with his stacks of quarters prepped for the week when he used to commute into NYC.
