Mini Boss Update.
Jan. 3rd, 2008 03:54 pmItem 0: Mini Boss?
In an interview yesterday, the interviewee asked if I'd be his boss. I'll be his boss, since all decisions are delegated to me, but I won't have official boss powers. I told him I wouldn't be his boss, but I'll be his "Mini Boss." I like it.
Item 1: My pants are too slick.
Yup. Slippery dress slacks combine with jack-rabbit start and stop bus driver and plastic seats cause mayhem on the 37 bus line, as I keep sliding and smacking into the side of the large fat man in the seat next to me. (Don't tell anyone, but it was kind of fun.)
Item 2: New years eve novelty glasses with the eyes in the middle 2 digits of "2008"
What will they do in 2010? 2011? A novelty crisis of epic proportions awaits us, my friends.
Item 3: My commute this morning was whack.
Computer problems on San Francisco's Muni train service caused all the trains to stop. Plan B! Surface streets to take the moving rail museum, the F Line, along market! Plan B fails as the first moving museum piece has to go out of service, the second is ok! Until Van Ness station, when a number 6 Haight bus is broken down on the trolley tracks, causing the trolley to have to stop dead in its tracks! Plan C! Exclaimation point! Van Ness station is a block away, I can hopefully board Muni now, maybe they've worked it out? Yes! They have! Board the L *just* as it leaves Van Ness, to.... stop dead in the tunnel and be told on the speaker that the problem has resurfaced. A half-hour later, get off at the next station, Civic Center, which is the first stop in common with Plan D! Bart, the cross-bay train that runs *under* Muni. Bart delivers me to Montgomery station without too much trouble.
I'd like to gripe about these problems, but writing this makes me realize that there are 4 options available to get me to work, all accessible with a single bus pass, that my employer pays half for. In Philly, I'd have had to pay three bucks for the same priveledge, and call out sick after Plan A fell through.
