Man, man, man! Yesterday was one heck of a day. I awoke at 5 AM, was dressed as an MIT student and out the door by 6:15 AM, backpack, hat and all. Despite recent troubles with the MBTA, I was willing to give it a second chance notwithstanding the bizarre route map provided. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did the designated bus arrive, but I arrived at my destination early. I checked in and took a seat with the other “MIT students” and “MIT professors”. I elected to wear one of my engaging, nerdy T-shirts:  It’s not unlike nerdy shirts I’ve seen at MIT previously. (One of my faves.) Howevever, my shirt was deemed “too bright” for the shot; I took it off to reveal the turtleneck beneath. Moreover, while the description for wardrobe read:

Dear MBTA, This morning, I utilized the online trip planning tool at the MBTA web site to plan my route to an audition for a print campaign. I wanted to travel efficiently from point A to point B. Unfortunately, things did not go as scheduled. The train I was to catch came late. When it did arrive, it got me to my stop quickly. I hastily walked three-quarters of a mile uphill in heels to the audition location. Why? Because the scheduled bus I was to board did not arrive. Three buses “NOT IN SERVICE” did pass me while I hustled on my way, though. I arrived rather warm and late. Too late. I would not be seen. I could not audition. I was permitted to leave a photo, but inside, I was fuming. Could it have something to do with the conversation I overheard last night while on another bus? The driver was chatting to a friend, both apparently unaware that I … Read more » |
