Commuting missives

I appreciate that train scheduling is a hard problem, and that real-life train scheduling is complicated by factors beyond your control.
I also realize that it is not in any way your fault that I live a brisk fifteen minutes' walk away or that I'm functioning on very little sleep. It is, I suppose, also not your fault that I aimed to catch the 6:19 train this morning. The fact that the 6:19, 6:28, and 6:43 trains are all MIA, though, is going to have to be your fault.
I would very much like to get on a RiverLine train now.
Dear AT&T: (at 7:31)
You know what would have been cool? To be able to post that last bit before the insanely overcrowded (packed standing room only) RiverLine arrived. Unfortunately, a wireless internet connection that I get dropped from every minute and a half, and get anemic rates with at best, isn't really that useful there. It would be nice if I got more than one bar throughout Burlington.
Dear Firefox Team: (at 7:34)
You know what would be nice? If having your wireless connection crap out on you didn't cause your web browser to lock up and become completely unresponsive.
Kthx, bye
Update: Total door-to-desk time? 3:02. Ugh.
