Jersey City vs NYC

I started my new job Monday of this week, as I'm sure you all know from reading this on a regular basis. That job is in the lovely city of New York, known for large green french women...and pizza.

It just so happens that said company has a training facility in Jersey City. I don't know if I mentioned this but its takes me a little under an hour to get into the city which is to be expected. What amazes me is that the facility in Jersey City takes just as much if not a longer am mount of time to get to, because let's face it commuting through Jersey City blows.

Google map Princeton Ave Jersey City, and then map from Lyndhurst...you will see that it should take like maybe 25 minutes....do that same thing at 7am in the morning friggen 1hour on the best days.

I'm not complaining, I'm just flabbergasted by how this works. I get into my office, not even just into the city but in to my office in less time then it takes me to pull into the parking lot when I drive to Jersey City.

Weird.....

Welcoming me back with open arms.

I'm trying a new thing. Not really trying per say, more doing. I took a job in NYC. Yay! I am out of North Bergen and on to 14th street.

So what does this mean? Well the short version is I will be writing this on the bus. As you will see from the attached picture(s) I'm still trying g to figure out bloggers UI on the phone to keep it formatted the way I like and you're used to seeing it. As of right now you're just going to see a lot of my face.

I'm sure the many (three) of you who read this may have gotten the idea that I'm a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to dealing with other people. Well that's true, I dislike most people, its a sickness but one that I am manging to cope with...dispute the face that someone with in my radius on the bus keeps farting.

That actually, this creates a nice segue for me to mention a project I was working on a while back when my commute took me to the Bronx (blah). I was planning on writing a set of guidelines for bus educated and handing the out, or putting at the stops along the route.

I may take up that project again, because seriously you should have enough common sense not to fart in a tin can with 30+ people...btw given been on this bus since 725ish, and the smell has been there since 728...its now 745 which means this is an on going problem.....

Anyway I would appreciate if any of you, my readers, have interesting public transportation stories, you share them through comments. I'm sure I'll have a lot of similar entries along these lines so if you have more then one you can always enter them next time round.

Lots of love (last pic test)
