rone | not that i'm that eager to get to work (Reply)

My morning commute train pulled in as i was walking from my car to the platform. This means i have about 3 minutes to buy a ticket and board. Today, unfortunately, there was a line. On one machine, a couple tried to buy an $8.75 ticket with quarters. On the other, the woman in front of me kept trying her credit card and getting rejected by the reader. I eventually tired of this nonsense, stuck my card in, and it accepted it readily. The woman was so confused that she neglected to thank me. Then, of course, the reader rejected my card when i wanted to pay for my ticket, but it gave in on the third try (i don't have my Clipper card loaded at the moment for Complex Plot Reasons). The quarters kids were still at it when i left, but made it to the train with 20 seconds to spare, so i guess that i could have not been in such a hurry. But $8.75 is an acceptable one-time price to make sure i don't miss my train.
