shame is so in this season

phew.

i walked to work today.

1 hour. 50 blocks.

but that's not all...

at first i couldn't get a cab because everyone was going downtown and i'd have to ride into the financial district before i could ride back up to times square. then when i could finally get one going uptown, the guy had the balls to say that it was $20 flat rate to midtown. i told him that it should be $10 flat rate anywhere in manhattan (because that's what they said on the news this morning) but he started shouting at me about how there are no rules and how his rule is $20. i told him that i'd just find another cab and that's when he started to drive off, unknowing that i had already opened the door slightly. whatever. his fault for being such a jerk. at this point i'm already in the 20s (i work on 44th) and i wasn't about to drop $20 when i already walked halfway. not to mention knowing that there's a $76 unlimited (unless there's a strike in which case you're screwed) metrocard in my pocket. so i kept walking...
