Created from popular demand, this blog is all about the misadventures of a commuting everywoman, me. Here you will be able to immerse yourself in the gritty and unpleasant underworld of one of the largest commuter train systems in the country, the Long Island Rail Road. As a self-appointed "commutologist" with almost 10 years of informal field experience in the train sciences, I will faithfully identify and chronicle my interactions with the creatures that inhabit this world.

Construction Workers (unionus manhattaneri)
I'm in a 3/2 seat combo today facing my seat-mates. Two strapping construction workers, matching jeans with matching work boots, both liberally coated with spackle dust, flannel shirts. These guys are Eastern European and carrying on a rapid-fire discussion in their native language with much hand gesturing. I think they either insulted my mother, or dissolved the latest nuclear proliferation treaty....not sure.
