Seven Late Night Questions

[deeplyunhip]

Just the usual set of unrelated questions. :)

Though the nap question is related to my current supremely erratic sleep schedule. I need to work on that.

Oh, wow, napping on the train. I can't really do that here. Does someone announce when it's your stop...or...how does this work, exactly?

They do announce the stops, but that doesn't wake me up necessarily, so I set my cell phone alarm to go off a little before we're scheduled to get to my station. The trains here are not at all crowded, though, so it's not very loud and also I generally have the two-person bench to myself, so I can put my backpack on the seat next to me and use it as a pillow.

Ahh, it must be nice to have an uncrowded train. In New York, subway cars drive you! not only would be things be crowded, loud, and generally unpleasant, but it's against the law to put your feet up on the seat. If you laid down like that, a police officer might come by and yell at you. I've seen it happen.

The cell phone alarm's a good idea!

Yeah, that's the upside of living in a place with not-great public transit -- there are a lot fewer people riding it, so you can enjoy it a bit more. We aren't supposed to put feet on the seats either -- and I don't, I just kind of lean over to nap on my backpack as you would if you were sleeping at your desk only a bit skewed. (I don't think we have police officers patrolling feet-on-the-seat offenders, though.)
