She really missed the train on that one

So I’m running late for work, as usual, and I get into the train station, swipe my MetroCard and make a mad dash for the platform (which includes hopping down a flight of stairs in four-inch heels) only to see… the end of the train disappearing down the tunnel.

Crap!

Grrrrr.

That is so annoying. And it’s the middle of summer.  So I’m sitting, or standing, rather, on a sweltering cement slab fifteen feet under the city’s filthy traffic.  For the next five minutes.  Isn’t that a lovely way to start your day.  Good thing I put on deodorant.  Or wait, did I remember?  Oh God.

    and that’s yet another reason one shouldn’t wear heels during the commute itself.
