I'm Still Here

Well after the first week, I'm enjoying the projects I'm working on at my big corporate internship but not the early hours. As my girlfriend puts it, I'm in a whole different time zone from everyone else, and I'm finding the Metrolink can be just as unreliable as the WashU shuttle.

Thursday morning I waited at the station for almost 30 minutes (trains run every 8 minutes) because a train at one of the earlier stops had broken down. This meant that they had to run both Eastbound and Westbound trains through one track, and while trains in one direction were going through the other direction's cars had to sit there waiting. Luckily not only was I late to work but pretty much everybody going downtown that morning was late for work.

I work on the 9th floor of a swanky office building downtown aross the street from the Edward Jones Dome (where the Rams play, by the time you read this post it may have changed names again), and to get there I have to take an elevator that is so fast it makes the Jolley elevator seem like it doesn't move at all. When it goes down, it literally feels like the floor is dropping out from under you for a good floor or two, and there are no handrails to hang on to, only carpeted walls.

Apparently someone read my post last week about the Objective Christian site, because I got an email from somebody who runs a Christian Music website who wants to "exchange links" with me. Is "Got to Get Her Out" a Christian Rock song?
