Today was a pretty average day. We had one of our regular “brown bag lunches” at work, where they invite a speaker and give us free food for attending, but I decided to skip this one. It was about “Meals Off the Clock: Tips for Cooking During the Work Week,” and going for a walk on my lunch break seemed like the better option. I don’t do a lot of cooking, to be honest. When I was single, living on my own, it often wasn’t much fun making a big production out of a meal for one person, and now that I live with my parents, dinner is usually more of a collaborative effort. I have been looking into moving out recently, in that hesitant oh-my-god-is-that-really<\/i>-how-much-these-apartments-cost kind of way. So I could maybe use some tips for stretching a dollar and still eating well. But the weather was nice enough that a walk seemed like more fun. The lunches in general are a pretty mixed bag; some have been pretty great, some not so much, and you never know what you’re going to get until you’re trapped there for the hour or more.<\/p>\n

Other than that, it was just a lot more of the same. All the trains out of Manhattan were delayed this evening, apparently because one hit a pedestrian in Kew Gardens. I haven’t been able to find out any more information since, but that’s what we were told over the PA system: police activity following an unauthorized person being hit by a train. Almost certainly a suicide attempt, and almost certainly a successful one, or at least that seems to be the consensus here, which is just a shame if it’s true. My own train was forty minutes late because of the delays, and I had to go pick up my mother in Hicksville. (She doesn’t work in Manhattan but had to go in today, and she got the wrong train coming home.)<\/p>\n

And that was my Wednesday. I’m only working four days this week, so tomorrow is pretty much my Friday. I’m looking forward to that!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
