want some of the champaigne I just got?

so yeah, started looking for better work, tired of the shit of retail. applied for a paid internship (where i have connections), and temp position with a urban planning non for profit that pays nearly 15 an hour.

im 21

Mean while in chicago... I actually venture to the rough parts of the city, usually during midday and with another person. Mainly because all of the interesting planning/ non for profits are in the rough parts. I was down on 35th/46th last saturday... Not a rough part but still decaying. No problems. Actually a decent area imo. South of 45th the warnings start to go up. But usually ive found its peaceful during the day. Your risk of getting shot or killed is low compared to pickpocketing and other petty crime. I think people tend to overexaggurate crime. Having said that, people get shot every day here. We had a shooting on the CTA last night actually. In a part of the city that is relatively peaceful. And i agree with the quiet areas part. I was in Lincoln Square, a kinda hipster part of the city , before sun down. Peaceful, quiet. I leave and two hours later at 7pm some one was shot and killed. Here, i've had no issues. Havent bren to NYC to comment enough. But the same rules apply as they do here. Btw when I go to boston... Im going to be the nut that goes down to Mattapan (not only to see thr PCC's) to see what its like and why it has a bad rep. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

15 days until i fly to Boston for a week. Im extremely excited, got a sweet place in the city for an overnight stay, and I'm going to roam one of the Universities I am looking at for an MPA.

I went to nationals in ATL one year for that

I have had a headache of Metra issues. Yesterday, at union station, one of Amtraks switch frogs broke, alonm with a rail and a train blew a signal. All at rush hour. The Union pacific -west, the other line i take, was packed and delayed. So what did I do? Called my dad and told him to grt me in Roselle, near his work. I made it home jn time. The delays on the Union Station lines were so bad, trains were 80 minutes late. Now, im on a UP West train, with no power or heat. In 19 degree weather. Joy. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

I now hate ventra with a firey passion. Went to the retail office to get 34 day passes, and they told me to go to a ticket machine and buy it 34 times. I walked upstairs to the CTA offices and bought the old magnetic day passes Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

Tip from a worker in the inside.... the crowds die down from 4:30/5am to about 8am. They pick up after 8 to about 8pm or so. Was talking with a manager about our lack of floor coverage in the store (but 3 cashiers coming in with in a 2 hour period), and he explained it to me. Saw the numbers to back it up. Interms of sales... we make 3-4x as much as we would a typical busy day, but then we are open from 10pm Thursday to midnight friday. Plus some one had the brigt idea to up our sales goals, when we have never made them before... usually make 80k, some one wants us to make 100k. hahahahah..no.

i hate black friday. I got lucky and got a 7am-2pm shift though. some places open at 6 on Thanksfiving... like really?!

So i went to the darkaide... After my nokia had a hissy fit with the screen, and tmobile said f**k you basically, went back to verizon and got an iphone 5c. So much better , ive missed verizons service! Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk

you aint seen nothing yet... when i was on airline-empires... people were multi accounting to the point where they were causing extreme issues with servers (i think some one hacked). I had my period where I trolled that site but now its over.... it was 2 years ago... more important shit to do, sensible converstations to have.

Yeah i see the inefficiencies. I wouldnt say its just the norm with the MTA however

Haha, with all of the data GIS technicians deal with, there is some room for error. This is google maps right? If you want to edit a point with them btw... the process is stupid and insane. I dropped out of editing with them because of the politics. Many medical computers still use floppies. Or atleast I've heard.

That sign reminds me of the ones on the blue line, painted over the Douglas Branch part after the pink line opened Sent from my Nokia 521 using Tapatalk
