(Yes, I have not only favorite staircases, but favorite positions in my main commuting stations for maximizing the efficiency of my commute. It's not anality, it's laziness raised to a high art.)

Oh, man, you gots to strategize if you're changing at Park. It's a mob scene, and the closer you get out to the stairway you need, the better.

Jesse, we also get the NY Snapple ads.

Are you sure that's a puppy brenda? So big! and so cute!

I cannot get going this morning. I'm exhausted, but there's a HH happy hour (hey, that's HH HH- I said I was tired) and it's probably really bad form to miss the build and show up for the happy hour, or miss HH and show up for the HH.

Once again I seem to have stolen someone's cummute~ma (sorry Theodosia). There was some major backup of the Red Line, and I arrived just in time to catch the first one once they were running again. And since they then had four trains back-to-back, they decided to run the first two express to the end of the line. As a result I made it to Evanston much faster than I ever have on the CTA trains. And I got to watch as we drove by platform after platform crowded with grumpy commuters.

Some days, I really wish people would acknowlege that I solved their problem. Even if it was due to them being a dingbat. Just a simple "Yep, that worked" would be nice.

Of course, I'm being a crab because I can look in the logs and see it worked and I'm just being a whiney little validation-needing twerp this week.

That's a totally valid desire. The Other People are being twerpy, not you.

ETA: I forgot how much I like the word "twerp"

Ain't nothing wrong with validation.

Hell yeah. I hate when I end up in the wrong car.

Sara, can you contact them under the guise of "so I can close out the case"? I admit I perform that follow up every now and again, especially when we were approached for something that wasn't our issue.

California folks are wimps.

To promote the season one DVD release of the HBO series, Six Feet Under, Charlotte agency BOONE/OAKLEY created a bus wrap which, in July, transformed transit buses into the green hearse the character Claire drive on the show. San Francisco and Los Angeles transit authorities rejected the ad for public transit claiming it could, somehow, hurt ridership. The ad was allowed, however, on private, no passenger buses. New York and Chicago accepted the ad.

I've seen the hearse!busses - they look cool: [link]

I could (and I often do) but in this case, I'm just closing it out and whining.

California folks are wimps.

uh-oh.
