Was off Monday and worked from home Tuesday, but the entire rest of the week I only had one train that didn’t break down and was actually on time, and that was Thursday night. Excuse me if the commutes blur together in my fried mind by now, but here goes, to the best of […]

Below you will find the text of another e-mail I sent to NJ Transit. Somehow I put the TV on this morning and saw that there were 60+ minute delays on the trains. I didn’t bring my computer home from work last night for the first time (naturally) and so I couldn’t even […]

I had a friend come up with a great suggestion. I’m now carrying a Sharpie pen in my bag. The next time someone wedges a foot on the seat behind me and it’s sticking me in the butt, I’m going to give them a little Sharpie graffiti! Hopefully the shoe sticking me in the ass […]

So having gotten through the “blizzrad of 05″ here are some thoughts to make everyone’s life safer and easier.
1. Be real about your driving abilities. Let’s face it, we all have limitations in life. Some of us are quarter backs and some of us are MBA’s and some of aren’t. That applies to driving and […]

This is a post that has been a long time coming. I have alluded to bits and pieces in various other posts.
This morning, as always I chose a two seater facing backwards. Why, you say? My rationale is this: I would rather be squashed solely on one side and not both sides […]

First off, for those who might think this is long then just look at the suggestion I have at the bottom….
The blizzard passed and everything was getting back to normal. I was pretty bummed out that the snowstorm didn’t come during the week. Who doesn’t want a free day off? I should […]

This was less than a regular commute for me. I had to make a voyage into NYC on a weekend for a bachelor party. Originally we were planning on driving but then Mother Nature decided to dump a foot of snow across the area. It was supposed to start in the afternoon […]

Yesterday NJ Transit board of directors proposed a 15% fare hike to cover yet more rising costs of operation. Naturally today, the commute on the North East Corridor was one giant cluster****. I know for a fact people from NJ Transit read these posts so I would appreciate it if any questions I […]
