Breathless: A Commuting Adventure
On Friday my colleague Bevan and I made the trek to the RBS building in Greenwich, CT, where many of our colleagues have relocated. It's far, man! Minimum 1 1/2 hours each way, but in can turn into 2 hours pretty easily. Well, we walked from our current office on East 52nd (between Park and Madison) to Grand Central Station, with Bevan 'navigating' our way through a remote northern entrance and a tunnel network.
We rushed down the stairs just in time... to see the caboose disappear into the distance. Next train: 35 minutes later. We boarded it, and the train began its hour-long hop through Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, the Westchester Coast, and a swath of Southwestern Connecticut.
At least, mid-morning, we were able to get seats and I got some work audio-reading done on my laptop.. We arrived at Greenwich Station, only to realize our journey was far from over..
RBS headquarters is on the water. How nice for the Greenwich crowd.. For commuters, that means a 10-minute walk, minimum...
So we walked...
..and walked...
..and walked... We did get there, and took pictures, but that's another post....
