Yeah, I've been checking their site all day and am amazed that they are still suspended.

How do city cops and firemen get to work now? That is who I feel for. Me, I'm loving the day off to snuggle on the couch with the new laptop and my new Nook color.

Re: Any LIRR updates?

I have been following all day too. This morning they said they would be running by 4pm and now still suspended. I'm leery bc theybsay they are working around the clock to fix issues including frozen switches. Isnt it colder at night? Won't they refreeze. I dont believe anything they say except when they say fares going up. That is the one thing they are consistent with.

Lola. Did you used to take the 7:40 am train in that is now the 7:48? Not sure why they did that. Now we crawl bc of passing trains. It's 10 min later but I get in over 25 min later! Chat Icon That annoys the crap out of me! That and having the conductor that sounds like Rosie o'donnell telling me twenty times to watch the gap and we arebarriving on so and so track. Who cares! Ugh. Ok. I'm a bit bitter. Lols.

Seaford. Used to be 7:40. Now 7:49. Used to love 7:40. Conductors were like milli vanilli and would make announcements with the godfather music in the background (last two cars). Always made me smile. Loved them! I miss them. Always left train at atlantic term w a huge smile, no scour.

Thanks. Looks like DH is back to work tomorrow. Part of me is disappointed, but part of me is excited to have the house to myself as planned, since I'm off this week.

Honestly, they can say whatever they want but I won't believe it til I see it.

All it takes is that 508 train to get stuck and thats it.

Re: Any LIRR updates?

DH is going in. Im off but I have no desire to get in the car and take the kids to day care. Yes, I had planned to bring them in because I had to pay for it and because I needed to catch up on 2 years of sleep deprivation. Judge away!

I want to work from home because I dont trust the LIRR tomorrow but I am so confused on what to do. I always feel funny about working from home.
