The commute that never wanted to end
Feb. 7th, 2007 06:38 pmMetro commutes are always entertaining after a snowstorm. We had our little 1-2 inches fall overnight. So I trudge through the soft snow, hoping things won't be too backed up. In fact, it was even worse than I could have imagined.
It's never a good sign when the first train to arrive at your station in the morning immediately offloads all its passengers.
It took an hour and a half to get into work today, when usually it's 30-40 minutes maybe. And half of that time was standing. *winces* Have you ever a two ton anchor weighing you down? That's what the aircast feels like when I'm on my feet for prolonged periods.
No one noticed the aircast, except the nice person sitting on the Metro bench waiting for the train. Everyone is reading their papers or too busy to look down and notice. It's not like I'm using crutches. Maybe I need to get pushier.
At the time, I thought it was weather related, but from the WMATA site, it appears a passenger got clipped by a passing train, not fifteen minutes before I started my journey.
