I died a little bit on the muni metro today. Just a little piece of my soul, nothing big. The muni was a complete MESS today. When I got on, at 24th & Taraval, everything was chill. I put on my iPod, pulled out my Jim Morrison book, and got sent for the 20 minute ride downtown. However, when I got to West Portal(for those of you not in the know, the L, M and N lines go underground at West Portal and follow the Market st. to Embarc. Til WP, its surface lines) I was met with a "We're sorry, theres a wire down in the tunnel. There are no inbound or outbound trains. Sorry.".....?
At that point, about 250 people pour out of the platforms and station to the street where shuttles are picking people up to take them downtown. I stand around for about 15 minutes, in no hurry to be pushed around on a bus, when finally, herding mentally kicked in for everyone else and they went back to the metro platform cause someone had said "its working!" it wasnt. Good for me though, I grabbed the next shuttle that came by and took it all the way downtown....well, to Van Ness...still about a 1.5 away from my stop. From there is was a bunch of..get of the bus, try the metro, take the metro one stop, get off metro, get on BART. FINALLY, an hour later, Im at Montgomery station and walking to work.
The one good thing about sheep...they make it easier for the goat to get to work.
