Whoo, blizzard!
Feb. 8th, 2013 03:12 pmI feel like a kid, all excited about going home early because of the weather (thank you, supervisor!). The downside is that the train home was insanely crowded since everyone else was going home early. There were people standing in the aisle all the way down the car, and the LIRR is decidedly not designed to have that going on. For starters, there's not much in the way of places to hold on that don't risk also inadvertently grabbing a handful of a seated passenger's hair. OTOH, the fact that the train was so insanely crowded meant that the conductors didn't check anyone's tickets since they couldn't have possibly made their way through the cars.
