Feeling better

[ceebeegee]

I got home around 6:00, thanks to the horrible MTA which sent F train after F train but no V trains so it took me 3 trains to get home, instead of one. I was absolutely freezing and shivery; I took a long, very hot shower and then fell into bed and slept, woke up at 8:00 feeling very feverish, eventually slept again. I woke up this "morning" at 1 pm for about an hour, during which I didn't feel feverish but my stomach was killing me, then I slept again until 5:00. Stomach still hurt but gradually, over the course of the evening, it got better and better. Now I feel fine but--uh--I have no idea how I'm going to sleep tonight! Overall, in 24 hours I slept about 17 hours.

Uhm, the V train doesn't run on weekends...

This was yesterday (Friday), around 5:00.

Oy, vey! I'm sorry! It's just that I've spent a few weekend days waiting in vain for a V, I thought that's what you did at first glance.

In that case, yes, the MTA does suck and mightily so! I've never seen that long a wait between V trains...

If you can believe it, Wednesday night around 11:00, I waited for something like 20 minutes for a V train. FOUR F trains came, but no V trains. FOUR. V trains are supposed to bail at midnight, not at 11:00. Finally I gave up and took a B train to 7th Avenue and transferred to an E (which is what I did on Friday).

One time the MTA frustrated me so badly--made me so late to work--I wrote them a letter including the plaintive cry "why do you have to suck so badly?" It's now my cri du coeur whenever something like this happens. It wouldn't be so maddening if they weren't constantly raising fares. When they jacked up the fares in 2003 33%--$1.50 to $2.00--and then when their workers threatened to strike in 2001 and then did so in 2005, in clear violation of the law and as a nice big FYou to the city--both sides of the MTA lost any goodwill from me for a very long time.
