Commute Time: 1 hr, 7 min

September 11th, 2007 · No Comments

Impressive? Well no, I sometimes miss the 18 min door to door from GSH and will probably never top the Wooden Indian, but I thought that was pretty good. I left the office (on 7th between 52nd and 53rd) at 5:15 and walked into the house at 6:22. That included speed walking to the GCT Entrance at 47th and Madison, catching the super express 5:36 to Tarrytown and immediately jumping aboard the TZX. I then had to walk around the corner. I wasn’t looking forward to commuting by train, and I’m sure there are days where the timing isn’t going to work out at all, but between this speed and having time to read, I might be a convert.

While this isn’t a trip, commuting by train is a new adventure, so this is appropriate. In true form of trying to find something while travelling, I’m stuck. This time, I can’t even blame the language barrier. I’m looking for a pass case, preferably one that doesn’t cost $80 and ideally has two windows. I figured I’d find one easily at one of the street sellers but so far, no dice. I did find these two at the Transit Museum store at GCT but I don’t particularly want to pay $18/$12 either. Decisions, decisions. Am going to try the KMart at Astor Place on Thursday before class even though the website doesn’t indicate they have any. Target sells them so I imagine KMart would as well. Of course as soon as I buy one, I’ll probably find my old Naz one that I’m sure is still around somewhere.

Off to do my e-commerce reading that I’ve put off all week. I’m still not in school mode.
