I'm not talking about a "Professional" "Administrative" or a skilled labor job (electrician, elevator worker, steel worker, etc) and it's NOT a salaried position; it is an hourly position. It is an office job; just not a high-level office job.
The commute would get me home by 640 --- plenty of time to have dinner with my daughter.
I only have one car and that car is paid in full.
I wish people would have read my OP before responding!!!!!!!
OP, you ask for others opinions, then get mad when you get answers you don't want to hear. I will cut you some slack however, if you have never done the commute on a regular basis. It gets old fast. But maybe you should try it out for a year or two.
I agree, the city lust would get rubbed off after you got people jump in front of train, or a car drive onto the track, or down power line, or signal problem in jamaica (after millions $$ upgrade), or police activities, or a passenger with medical condition, or train derail...what else I miss?
Oh, even I said 1 hr door to door for me, on the way back it never never 1 hr. Train run slower in evening in my perspective.
LOL. I was going to post about this news. There you go.....definitely something I don't miss getting into. If I am still working in city, so, at this point I will be debating
1. Just stay at work till they fix their zhit.
2. Take subway to Jamaica and hope they have trains running off from Jamaica to east.
3. Take subway to Jamaica and find out they don't have train running at all. Call 5 different people to see if they can drive to Jamaica for pick up.
4. Share a limo ride with coworkers and stuck in traffic for 2 hours.
5. Go to a bar and just enjoy.
Actually, I usually do #4 but this isn't too bad a disaster..even by LIRR commuting standards.
Only one track is affected at Jamaica and all platforms are useable. They will probably just cancel their usual "cancellable" trains, make everyone miserably crowded, be at least 20 minutes late, then blame the NY& Atlantic.
What hours do you work? It sounds like short hours.
Usually 8:00AM - 5:00/6:00 in the office if I go in to the city but I can work from home (as I am right now) or at night, sometimes I am working on the weekend - it depends what I need to get done.
Being tied to an office for a set amount of hours every day doesn't mean you are working long or short hours. It seems like your "long" hours allow you to get on CD much more often than I can get here.
maybe everyone here is posting on CD ON THE LIRRRRR
Just one more thing you can do while on the train!
