What the train did to me...

[yakalskovich]

...or why I arrived hellishly late for work today.

Because they have changed totally everything about the system of suburban trains in Munich, as of today, in one fell swoop!!

All the train numbers have been shuffled around, and the times, and the famed new every-ten-minutes system is only good for mornings and evenings during rush hour, when I rarely need it anyway, and OMG I am so confused!!!

In loggage format:

Yakkie: arrives at the train station as per usual.
Train Nr S5: arrives at slightly odd time, but Munich trains, you know...
Yakkie: jumps aboard S5, sits, draws out book and is lost.
Book: ...Ihlini magic...sex...big cats...people swear by Asar-Suti as matter of course...sex...Lochiel...Ihlini magic...glass-columned cavern...purkle light...the Gate is a pool in the ground...Asar-Suti!!...
Yakkie: Whoah!!! is transfixed
Train Nr S5: Fasangarten!
Yakkie: What pheasant what?? What?? By Asar-Suti, I'm not friggin' supposed to be here!! What happened?? Runs out of train and stares at utterly unfamiliar station.

And then the train back took its own sweet time to arrive, and then I had to find out which train now goes to where I am supposed to go, and then it has to come and...

Oh urgs! Underworld! I feel like visiting burnination by purkle flames on the utter morons who changed a running system in that way!

But this was the entire friggin' system!!

*wails*

And in the evening, the train simply didn't stop at our station, and then took ten minutes to back up into it.

[yakalskovich]

I hope so - I hate standing about on cold platforms in winter, only guessing when a train might arrive. So counterproductive.

[yakalskovich]

I hope so - you have no idea what people can continue forever. As of now, all the signs saying which train is next are taped so you can't see the numbers. Because they didn't update them yet.

Aw... >_< I hope your boss was understanding.

[yakalskovich]

Oh, I came in panting and swearing and cursing, and there had been others in a similar state before that, so no probs there.

[lily22.livejournal.com]

Well, at least that was okay. :) Are you managing okay with the train now?

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

The trick is leaving five minutes earlier from home, and five minutes later from work, I've found out. And take the train number S4 instead of S5. Is all. Nothing really changed much, just everybody got royally confused.

P.S. Sotrry metapost; this is just a character I'm RPing at milliways_bar.

[lily22.livejournal.com]

xD Cool. Anyway, glad it's working out... Maybe once you get used to it it'll be easier than before? :D;;;

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Once I get used to it, it's exactly the same pain in the rear as before, as I tend to avoid the two hours of rush hour in the morning and evening respectively, when the trains go every ten minutes now - simply because I can, and don't have to press in with everyone else. So, the more things change, the more they stay the same, with a short break yesterday for everyone to go WTF. Duh.-

[lily22.livejournal.com]

Oh. Er, well, that's good, then, at least according to Vetinari. :)

stylish sentence

would i be on the right track supposing that posters about the changes had been hanging around for weeks, but since sex with big cats was all you had eyes for you simply never read them?

Thanks!

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

*roars angrily at you*

Yes, you might be just about right...

see it as an early xmas pressie, get it while you can

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

here, kitty kitty! whosacutelilkittythen *tickles*


hehehe, and everyone else bemitleidete dich. it takes one commuter to spot anothers mistakes!

Mrrrrr...

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

*is cat-shaped at the Crackbar at the moment, too*

Yes, you are right! I was busy being Asar-Suti, and missed out on real life. Any other criticism about my person? Throw nuts at me while you can, dear 'Tweeny!

*sheds*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

no, not you as well. damn, "everybody wants to be a cat".

criticism? where? come ooooon, i think you are being serious there, ignoring my tickling and sensing critique, oh lala. *tries to throw a pecan*

Everybody is a cat at heart

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

In the Crackbar, you can be a cat if you feel like it. Lots of cats there. And now an emo, angsty Sooty has joined the feline ranks for the evening.

*catches pecan nut, and grins thankfully*

You were saying that it was my own fault, and so had other people. Like my bosseess.

mine was a quote from the sadly really not good "aristocats"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

you told me already!
not ready yet, me.

*throws macadamia* see what you make of that.

och, i take it back then, i only saw "poor you"s and no "fault" ones *takes back*

Too late at night to do clever quotes

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be up at all if I weren't RPing with my very favourite Australian.

Well, I posted this entry right after it happened, so I was still full of righteous indignation. And I left it as it is because I dodn't do sneaky ETAs. Unlike certain other people.

it is far too late at night - pity me, don't mock me

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

i know. i know everything about your nocturnal habits, as you can see!

time out, ok! i never do them, so there.

Awwww poor old 'Tweeny!!

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

My nocturnal habits are extremely odd. And my time scale is so utterly borken, oh woe!! Wailey Wailey Wailey!!

careful - you are entering the danger zone now!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

coz i reached the threshold where i can't bother to contain my sorrow, and as it never finds an outlet - only an inlet - and you are the only one here, i might wail at you how my one rl friend won't call again after our altercation, and how my new rl friend is going to move away. then i have nobody. really nobody at all! add to that no job, and then send alsatians to eat my dead body.

Indeed?

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Are you very likely to wail and rail in that fashion?

I would have to disappoint you, my dear. There are no Alsatians here, just one rather elderly and rheumatic Rottweiler.

yes

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

well, i did, didn't i.

oh, rottweilers, even better/worse *feels zerfleischt*

The dog

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Getting dismembered by Q is even less likely than getting dimembered by your own teddy bear. Just look at him!! Utter wooby, that dog!

dismembered by my own teddy bear

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

gah, you reminded me, it's a bloody koala! i might get dismembered by it *longs for old panda instead of stupidly self-bought australian drop-bear*

and q, though looking very ahem stolid under the table there has more powerful jaws than an alsatian. as i will already be dead, he should have no problem dismembering me. think of what you save on dog food!!
