Hoofing it
Curtis was sweet enough to escort me to work yesterday. I was excited to show him that I totally knew my way around the big city. We hopped the F train and transfered to an A to take across the East River into Manhattan. Once on the A, the conductor said, “The A is running on the F line today.” Wha? We just got off the F, and this train has a big A on it. Maybe she misspoke.
Nope, the A’s next stop was on the F line. We got off at Essex/Delancey in hopes of taking a J train down to the Financial District. Of course the J was running on a weekend sked, and the end of the line was one stop short of our target station. We got off at City Hall and speed-walked 0.7 miles to work.
I was ten minutes late, and I’d given myself almost a full hour for my commute, just in case. Ugh. I walked in and my boss said, “Survive the weekend trains?”
Young padawan still has much to learn.
