I know you never really know when things will return to normal, but I choose to do what is most predictable. Wasting 3 hours would be horrible.
How much did the car service run you?

I just bought a monthly ticket yesterday for the first time in two months--I'd been working temporarily on a special project in Soho and working late hours and weekends, so I've been driving.

I'm back to Jersey City for two months until we relocate (back to the WTC after 13 years away!)--so I caught the train home last night from Hoboken and didn't even know PennNY had an issue until I was almost home.

Probably livens up an otherwise boring job. I think the woman you're talking about is why my wife calls the city of Orange "Orange Orange".

Did you try to ride-share? Would have been nice to split that 2 or 3 ways.

Doesn't matter if they can go 1000 mph between DC and Secaucus if there is still only one tunnel under the Hudson.
