i *tried* to get to work this morning.
rainpocalypse on glenwood
anyway, i steeled myself against the rain and threw my jacket on and headed out onto glenwood to wait on the marta #9. i hadn’t been outside four minutes before my foot was drenched from trying to cross the street.
i headed to five points to catch the northbound train and found out that marta was completely shutdown north-south between five points and lindbergh. i thought this must be because a tunnel was flooded but apparently it was unrelated.
marta was telling people over the loudspeaker they had a bus bridge set up but another marta rep was trying to get people to get on the #110 bus which runs up peachtree to midtown and then lenox. either way the scene at five points was utter chaos. i have travelled via marta long enough now to know that the system does not handle crisis well.
so i just walked back to the #9 bus, boarded it and headed home to telecommute.
how are the rest of you surviving the rainpocalyspe?
Drove to work today (as I said, fair-weather bicycle commuter). Expecting a ParkAtlanta ticket any minute now, as I plopped my little car down in front of a “coming soon” meter…
I had no idea that MARTA was all messed up this morning. I walked into Civic Center station and had to wait all of 30 seconds for a train.
Poor MARTA. They would have to deal with a fire in the tunnel when it’s raining as if it’ll never stop.
Telecommuting today, as well, although I must confess my morning start was not nearly as arduous as yours. It involved opening my eyes at 0730, laying around to well past 8, and then making breakfast. When I got out of the shower, I realized I was running late so I logged on to the VPN…
:D
