welcome back, sorry about your train

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.01.06

Today was my first day commuting back into the city center. Needless to say, my train didn't come and I wound up waiting 25 minutes.

On the plus side, I got to chat with a fellow commuter who has a *very* long commute: she's coming into the city centre from distant Welland every day. Hard to believe, but there are people doing it!

Maybe Metrolinx should stop posting their train schedules. They're fictional, yet as a work of fiction they neither entertain nor educate and quite frankly serve no purpose.

But all is well. Falafel for lunch saw to that.

rand()m quote

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
