I’m still sort of skeptical as to what my man on the Street topic should be. I’m thinking of asking about the upcoming MTA strike. Hopefully, I’ll be getting some strong responses. Everyone who works at the MTA are asses, except for the operator who works at my home station (at least he waves at me and smiles when he sees me.) I feel MTA workers don’t have the right to strike for anything because they do a damn thing except ride the trains, make delays on purpose meanwhile wasting people’s time and money, and complain about people keeping the train doors open meanwhile talking about how we’re the reason why they’re making delays. On the other hand, I’m hoping this strike will prevent me from going to school since I haven’t even started on my research project for French class. Anyways, like I said, MTA workers are such asses. But I’m not all too excited about this Man on the Street thing. The last thing I wanna do is freeze my ass off while working. Plus, I hate walking up to people and asking them questions, since most of them just shove me off like I’m a Jehovah’s Witness passing out Watch Tower pamphlets. And most of the people don’t even want me to take their picture, so after all of that questioning and jotting down, I’m back to square one. When I’m at HL, I feel like I don’t do as much as I’ve done in the summer because I feel like I’ve gotten too comfortable. It’s like when a newlywed gets too comfortable into the marriage and starts slacking off. The worst part is when people begin to notice. When you’ve been around for a while and when new people arrive they crave off of that novelty and become as active as I used to be. What I’m gonna do about it, I have no idea. I really don’t know, I think it’s because of the Christmas/Winter season; it’s gotten so cold I just wanna sit still and get warm (if that’s possible.) Plus, I’m internally excited about the upcoming Christmas break, so these last few weeks are becoming a drag for me. Hopefully, the new year will get me going. I haven’t even been at HL these past two days, but I’m definitely coming on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday working on my Man on the Street. - Written by Iyana , posted by Rich
