Today I counted on the MBTA’s commuter rail to get me to an appointment in Boston on time.
The train ran late. I arrived at 3:10 p.m. for my 3:00 p.m. appointment. I was making a sales call, so, if anything, I should have arrived early.
The gods smiled on me.
The receptionist snared the executive at 3:25. He apologized profusely because he thought our appointment was scheduled for 3:30.
Note to self: plan public transportation so I have a wide margin for error.
It’s mercury’s fault that you were late (I’m not sure which god intervened on your behalf, but maybe good ol’ Merc was having a weak moment…glad it worked out).
