While the Long Island Railroad claims to be back to its normal schedule, they’re also cancelling a lot of trains, and I can’t shake the feeling they were actually running fewer today than last week. Certainly, there were fewer trains to choose from this morning, and my regular afternoon train won’t be happening for the foreseeable future.
The trains themselves weren’t so bad, though. I didn’t have any trouble, especially this morning, getting a seat. And there were only a few people up and down the aisles on the evening commute. That might change tomorrow, when whatever percentage of people who were off for Veteran’s Day go back to work. I won’t be among them, since I’m luckily working from home tomorrow, but I’ll curious to hear from my father how his commute goes. (He was home today, so I don’t feel so bad about that.)
Meanwhile…there just isn’t a whole lot of meanwhile to report. Lots of work, trying to make up for lost time that I’ll possibly never make up for. I’m taking all of next week off for Thanksgiving — and, sidebar, how is that already upon us? — but I’ll likely be doing a little work (from home) in that time. I could have used an extra week this month, not to lose an entire week thanks to that storm.
