Left home (NY) at 12pm yesterday for an 8 hr shift at work (CT).
I just NOW arrived back home.
Walked 2hrs+ in the thick of the blizzard last night from my job to the train station in CT, only to find out that I had missed the last train heading to NY (although I kinda knew that was going to be the case).
So I spent the entire night at a 24hr Dunkin Donuts.
Finally caught the metro north train this morning, and everything was going good (they decided to give us all free rides) until we hit Stamford, which is when they announced that service was going to shut down indefinitely. So now I'm stuck in Stamford like @%%...
After about 30 mins, they make an announcement that the Amtrak that is heading to Penn Station will give all NYC bound Metro North customers complimentary rides. This creates a bum rush...but I'm able to get on a secure a seat.
Ride for about 45 mins to Penn Station. Finally arrive. Decide to use the opportunity of being in the city to do some Christmas shopping ----> head to fifth ave. Cop some books from Barnes and Nob., and some stuff from the baby polo store. You won't even believe how many taxi's were stuck on 5th ave...
...ohhh and the RIDICULOUS line of people waiting to get into Abercrombie & Fitch, and some other silly store.
Finally hop on the #2, which then brings me home...
Crazy day...
