Morning Commute -- Apr. 5, 2010

I got to the stop at 8:04, just as a train was pulling in. I stopped at the machine to collect my ticket. This machine has been broken for a while now, but it appeared to be working this morning, so I swiped my card. It went crazy, my receipt ticket darting in and out, in and out, rapidly, and I tried to grab it, and I couldn't, and then it disappeared inside the machine, forever, meaning that I had to swipe the card again to get onto the train, meaning that I paid twice. Of course, there was a subway worker standing there watching the whole thing. I did not appeal to him for help, but he seemed quite unconcerned by the situation.

I ended up getting a seat at Hynes, so I didn't need to do my Copley trick.
