I left work early yesterday and caught a train mid-afternoon. Despite the fact that trains don't run as frequently in the early afternoon, I got an empty C Train after a few minutes.
A note about the Dunkin Donuts at Government Center. I know the heat slows everyone down, but I'm constantly amazed by exactly how slowly these guys move. One would think that they'd want to get as much traffic through the kiosk as fast as possible, given that people there are also waiting for their trains. Yesterday hit a new low, however, when the kiosk ground to a halt as the woman in front of me got the wrong change. It took both of the employees to sort it out. The same thing happened to me, immediately afterward. Seriously? The number shows up on the cash register in front of you. This is at least the second time that I've gotten shortchanged (never gotten too much change), and I'm starting to think that it is not unintentional.
I saw a young woman on the train with a hand piercing. Ouch. I've seen a lot of piercings in my time, but have no idea what could cause somebody to get their hand pierced. No wager is worth that kind of money.
And finally, I noticed in the Metro today that the T has raised $55,000 from the sale of goods in its store, including $650 for a vintage map, which I think would actually be kind of cool to have. So let's see, if the T is $100m in the hole, that 55K is .055% of the way there. That's not 5%. That's 1/20 of one percent. Probably gotta do better than that.
