Morning -- Mar. 24, 2010

I got to the stop at 8:18. The ticket machine gave the impression of working, but when I tried to swip my card it blinked "Error While Validating" endlessly and then I finally gave up and headed on the train that arrived at 8:21. The train was very, very, very crowded, and we squeezed on like sardines. It was with relief that I exited at Copley at 8:31. The next train arrived almost immediately but was also fairly crowded. The next train came at 8:32, still fairly crowded. The next train came at 8:34, still fairly crowded, but, as there was no other train in sight, I gave up and got on.
