septa strike, day 1

(aka halloween)

well today sucked. i woke up an hour early at 7:30am. there has been no hot water in my building since last night. for what i pay to live here, i fully expected emergency water heaters and a swat team bodyguards out front this morning. but no, that did not happen.

today, i thought it would be funny if i wore a full suit to work today. because i wanted to be a professional for halloween. because i wanted to be a manager for halloween. because i wanted to be within the dress code for once.

so i donned my suit and left my apartment at roughly 9:30 to walk from 19th street to 38th street. let me tell you that the comedy gold of wearing a suit today turned into comedy pyrite at about 31st street. i'm not doing that again in those shoes. but my halloween joke went over really well so i'm happy about that.

i would also like to point out that every crosswalk was hazardous to pedestrians. there's a fight at every light between turning cars and pedestrians. i thought i was going to die out there.
