Went out to the L this morning and the sign said it would be there in eight minutes, which was unusual--it would have meant I had just missed one and I hadn't seen one go by on the walk to the station. It ended up being more like twelve minutes, by which point the platform was very crowded, and then when the train arrived it was also very crowded. The driver apologized, saying that she had had a mechanical problem, and then we went on our way. And after only a few stops, we stopped again, and waited, and the driver came into the car I was in and messed with something while being on the phone with someone else, and then we were told that we all had to get off because the mechanical problem was too big to solve in just a few moments. Emoji Kawaii frog So then I was standing on a platform with a hundred other people, and the train still wasn't moving, and after consulting my phone I dashed down the platform and down the street and got on the first 148 bus that came and arrived at work an hour late and more than halfway into the section meeting.

When the bus driver pulled up and saw fifty people waiting at the bus stop he was like "What the hell happened??"

A while ago I put on Facebook "Does anyone sell a dark green dress shirt in my size?" and [livejournal.com profile] melliott415 suggested Suit Supply and linked a dark green dress shirt. She also said that they do custom fitting, so yesterday I went into my appointment. It only took about ten minutes--the guy assigned to me brought in a slim-fit shirt and it was too big, so he brought in an extra slim-fit shirt and other than a bit of billow in the back it fit wonderfully. I picked out the green Egyptian cotton, and said I'd like it custom-made, paid for it, and went on my way. It'll be ready in three weeks.

New wardrobe alignment commenced.
