the tale of two commutes

THE A.M. RUSHThis morning I left my apartment around 7:50 as usual. I got on a T at Washington St. as usual. I then proceed to get myself a seat and bury my head in my book. All of a sudden we are at Blanford St. and the driver comes over the intercom: "This train is being off-boarded because of an incident in the subway. We apologize for any

One of my co-workers was in an almost identical situation yesterday morning. She was unable to find those elusive shuttle buses, as well. Seriously, the MBTA just sucks sometimes.

Also, on a totally unrelated note, it has come to my attention that I haven't seen you in a ridiculously long time. We should hang out sometime!

so i meant to reply to this a really long time ago, but yes, i totally agree, we must hang out. now that the holidays are over, my schedule is really open, so let me know if you want to get dinner or a drink or lunch or any other hang-out thing!

Your commute sounds almost exactly like mine, except in the morning I got to experience the shuttle bus fun.
The "shuttle buses" were really normal buses that got stolen from their normal route in order to take me and 100's of other people on an MBTA bus tour of downtown Boston. I ended up on a 39 bus, which started by finishing all the stops left on it's route and then took us through the Theater District and by the State House. It was lovely.
