I did a stupid thing... it was freezing, but I was dressed right. The interview went well, one more to go. However, when I went to catch the train back to Concord, there were 2 listed; one at 4:50 and another at 5:00. The thing got out early, so I made the 4:50 train. As I was getting on, I heard the conductor say "South Acton" which is the next town after my stop. I thought he meant the train wasn't going to the end of the line, as not all of them do. But, when I got on and the doors were shut, I found out it was an EXPRESS to South Acton, no stops . So, I got on my phone and called my 2 friends who live right near the station, to ask if they could drive me back to Concord, where my car was. No one home. I even called an old colleague who lives near the station. I waved as we went by the lot where my car was. So, it was almost dark and about 20 degrees out when I called my husband, very embarrassed. I walked about 3/4 a mile in the dark to a Thai restaurant, where I ordered some wine. Finally, Steve got there and we ate. Boy, was I glad I had my Ibex, long underwear, and my super hot ski hat on.
I am a country bumpkin! To think i was riding the subway in 6th grade, into Boston. I guess I spent too many years in AZ.
