End of the line

Well, without much warning, this will be my last post. Tomorrow I'll be moving out of New York City, so today is my last etummoc that I know of. I'll still be riding metro north to visit on the weekends, but its not even close to being the same thing.

I don't think I'll miss the daily chaos I've endured for the past 3 years. Waking up at 6am, mad dashes to make a train, and the never-ending maze of stationary tourists; nope, won't miss those. the thing I will miss is the city though. Living here is really unlike anything else. Its unfortunate that my field is likely to exile me to suburbia or the boonies for work. I remain optimistic that I'll be back here at some point for another couple of years.

Back to gazing out the window for me. The Hudson is calm and reflective this morning, not unlike myself, and I'm taking it all in.

Safe travels.

etummoc fail

Another day of rain prompted flooding... When the shuttle was uber late I just hoped a train back to the city. Such a strange week

Enough already

Ok, i think its been a year since my last post, but something unprecidented has happened. I am in the process of beating my one way commute time. We are approaching the 4 hour mark from when I set out at 7am. The clock is still running, and I don't know if we're even going to make it into the office.

Apparently yesterdays rain has flooded the roads and has made a mess of things. roads are closed all around tarrytown. We've been on the shuttle for nearly 2 hours now circling the office in bumper to bumper traffic. I will spare you the details, mostly because I don't know road names/numbers.

Most my coworkers had problems, and I'm getting reports that one of them brought his kids to the office because he couldn't get to their daycare. Also the bus driver is blasting the heat instead of the ac.

I am in hell.
