I got to the stop at 8:04, and a train was only a red light away. I stopped at the stupid automatic ticket machine to buy a ticket. I hate these machines. I hate how they take my card and convert it to a piece of paper that is only useful if I enter in the front door of the train, so I might as well just pay with my card. Anyway, I always go and get this useless piece of paper because they have told me to, in an effort, apparently, to increase pollution in the city, and the machine won't give it to me. In and out, in and out, in and out, goes the piece of paper, and eventually I managed to grab the tiny sliver of it that kept making a brief appearance.
I got a seat on the train, which meant that it went out of service at Kenmore, which is how these things go. There was another train sitting at Kenmore, upon which, of course, we were packed. I got off at Copley at 8:14 and got on the next train, which looked less crowded. And it was, but I didn't get a seat until Arlington.
