Big Red

I can't believe I almost forgot to blog about this today. On my way into work this morning, I end up taking the "slow" bus when I should have just waited for the "fast" bus that was just 5 minutes behind. But you never know if they're on time, so you take what you can get. Anyways, finally arrive at the T and am waiting for the next train when over the intercom they announce the next train will be a high-capacity train. Immediately I start thinking about things to blog about this upcoming experience. Many of my friends know me as a "sitter" so you can see how the idea of a subway train with no seats does not bode well for me.

Well, I enter and am faced with a feeling of awkwardness in the air. No one quite knows where to go and does already in the car are awkwardly waiting for the car to fill up. At first I thought - not so bad. I was able to claim a spot against the wall, there's a bar, I'm not wearing heels, it's not that crowded. And then I proceed to have the longest commute feeling commute ever. Well not quite as long as that time I felt ill on the subway. And then proceeded to be ill in the T (station not car thankfully). That was a long ride home. But I digress, yet again. This ride was not that pleasant. I'm tired and feel uncomfortable trying to lean and read. It wasn't that crowded, but if I had to vote, I'd rather pay a little bit more a month to be able to ride a train with seats then deal with that again. Unfortunately I'm personally not a big fan of the Big Red. Good idea but not for me.
