Adventures in Commuting #12: Holy BEAR, Batman!

I haven’t writ­ten about a com­mut­ing adven­ture in quite some­time, mostly because I no longer com­mute. How­ever, yes­ter­day I took a rather long drive up to the North Coun­try of New Hamp­shire for a job inter­view and I think it war­rants a blog.

First of all, the weather was schizophrenic.

Adventures in Commuting #11: It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! No, It’s a Guy Jumping Off a Train

As men­tioned in sev­eral other posts, I meet a LOT of strange peo­ple on my daily com­mute and most of them against my will. This par­tic­u­lar guy was, I’m guess­ing, try­ing to impress me.

The only thing he impressed me with was his sto­ry­telling ability.

Adventures in Commuting #10: Perfect Aim…For a Blind Man

I don’t sleep much. Too much run­ning back and forth across state lines all day every day.

Sleep is for the weak.

Cat­naps, how­ever, are for every sin­gle spare moment I can find.

Adventures in Commuting #9: Man on a Mission

I was not a happy com­muter last Fri­day night. For starters, I missed my train by a mere two min­utes and every other train that was sched­uled to leave at the same time was delayed by 5 min­utes. But no, not mine. That line may very well have the timeli­est trains in MBTA his­tory. So I had to wait an hour and a half at North Sta­tion to catch the mid­night train home…and then go right back to work again the next morn­ing. Need­less to say, I was not amused.

Adventures in Commuting #8: Hit and Runs

I don’t know if this hap­pens to any­one else on their daily com­mute, but it hap­pens to me ALL the time. I’ll be just walk­ing down the street on my way to a T sta­tion when some ran­dom guy will hit on me as we pass by each other. This is what I call a “hit and run” (they hit on me, I run away).
