Since the move, my commute's been shaved down to a workable 55 minutes, and also moving me away from the nightmarishly overpacked 4 train (where I could rarely get a seat from 59th to Wall St.)
Normally, i'd be less devastated by leaving my iPod in my apartment (hell my current N/Q route even gives me brief mobile internet access over the Manhattan Bridge) but I'm bitterly hung over this morning, and could use something to block the sharp whirls and high pitched clanks of the subway line, and the minor annoyances of the people around me. On the way to the train, I actually snapped, and let out one of those never quite as clever as I want them to be put downs at 4 people holding an impromptu discussion group right at the top of a busy flight of stairs. I said something like "Yeah, that's a perfect place for you to hold a meeting" and they stared back blankly, possibly because they didn't speak English. Veg will be thrilled to know that I then made my legendary "hurry up" gesture.
I mentioned something about websense before, didn't I? It feels stale now after a couple of months have passed by, but I'll try and get it up this afternoon.
Hi Dave
