Shift Of Focus

I’m considering a shift of focus for Aaafter Effect (formerly known as This Is Not A Weblog). Writing about my life just doesn’t seem interesting to me, so I’m not sure how anyone else other than close friends would find it even midly interesting. Maybe I’ll find another place for either part of this writing.

I Hate NJ Transit

Don’t they know I have somewhere important to be? What the hell are “modified regular schedules?” Are the trains running normally or not? I called customer service earlier to find out. The incredibly helpful individual said that he has no idea what today’s train schedule is, but he’s expecting updated information any minute now, “In fact, it is overdue.” I tell him I’ll call back in fifteen minutes, which he says is fine. I call back in fifteen minutes and surprise! The customer service office closed at 5:00 pm.

I won’t find out if there’s a train to take me where I need to go until I actually get to the station. Aren’t we supposed to be living in the future? On that same note, NJ Transit sends a text message to my phone to alert me when there are delays on my line. That’s great in theory. It would be better if they didn’t wait an hour between the time they post a “travel advisory” and the time they bother sending the message out.

Alright, enough ranting on my part.
