5D49 5N63 Watch Out!

That's right, watch out I say-to the drivers of not one but two cabs who refused me service this evening. Some friends and I wanted to come home from Manhattan to Brooklyn with two stops-one in Ft. Greene and one in Park Slope. Lovely neighborhoods if I do say so myself. Well, both these cabs refused to visit.

And I quote from TLC's FAQ page (note use of excessive acronyms-I learned that from the nonprofit community):


• What are the rules concerning multiple-stop trips?
Drivers are not permitted to refuse passengers with more than one stop. There is no limit to how many stops are allowed. Keep in mind, the taximeter will run as one continuous trip; it is not turned off and then started again with every stop. You pay the entire fare at the end of your trip. If you encounter a situation where the driver refuses you service based on multiple destinations, get the taxicab medallion number, and contact us at 3-1-1 to file a complaint against the driver.

Being that I have friends in high places, or at least at the TLC, I will be following up on this one. Check back for more info on rule-breaking-mahattan-centric-multiple-stop-refusing cabbies
5D49 AND 5N63. I have your number!

Boycott!

This bank is buying my building and tearing it down, and now I have to move! I have been living here for almost 3 years (the longest I've been anywhere except Mom & Dad's). It's not enough that I have no real job, now I will soon be homeless. I love being 26.

If you love me or my blog, boycott Commerce Bank!

PS-if you have any apartment leads for me, post them as comments. Yours could be the helpful hint that keeps me on this side of the thin line between sanity and becoming "a bit of a nutter".

Where oh where?

Where oh where have I been? Well, not blogging as you can see. Sorry:(

I' ve been to so many places over the past few weeks.
Kingston, NY
The Jersey Shore
The Beer Garden (yes, again!)

And of course, temping. Temping is always such an adventure. This month I am somewhere where instead of the no-one-knows-or-cares-who-I-am usual fare, I get have found an organization full of overexcited-pleased-to-meet-you types who seemed refreshing at first. Now I realize it's really an office of those school-spirit types I wouldn't have spoken to in high school (despite my own high level dork stigma), and I don't really want to speak to them now. But, they pay me to, so I'm there. And since they have serious websurfing preventions software, I have been ignoring my blog. I can't even view it, nevermind post on it while I'm at work. I'll work on being more responsible to my readers, promise.
