I'm back

Okay, so yes, I've disappeared for quite awhile due to the fact that I've been taking the MARC train to work. I've been staying with friends in Baltimore.

Now, the train really is better than driving the hour and a half to and from D.C. but there are issues with that commute. One is the fact that I hop on and off the train at Penn Station, I need to walk down Charles Street to get there. This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that UB is, and has been for MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS, constructing its new law building. The last block to the station is completely blocked off on the right side of the road, which happens to be the side the station is on - is this a pain in the ass? Hells yes it is. It has caused me a never ending panic attack of wondering if I'll be able to cross the street without getting hit, and in time to make my train. Crossing during my morning commute can be a HUGE pain in the ass and very dangerous.

At one point the traffic light on Charles at the station rarely ever turned red, and it didn't have a working cross walk (let alone a button to push to activate the crosswalk) - you can image how fun that was. At least now I can push a button to tell the light "I'm here, stop those damn cars, I have 5 minutes to catch that train!"

Today's travel time which includes walking to and from the stations...

Start Time: 7:30am
End Time: 8:45am
