Overheard on F train: "Could you get your elbow out of my back? I need my spine." (This wasn't directed at me!) #mycommute #sandy
I got to be two things this Halloween, a rock groupie (voluntary) and a sardine, the way I packed myself into the F train #mycommute #nyc- Some readers looked on the bright side of simply walking to work.
@WSJ Yesterday #mycommute consisted of a 2.5-hour walk from Times Square back home to Battery Park. But hey—exercise!
It ain't #campbellriver bit when your walking 6 miles to work at 6:30am after #hurricaneSandy it sure is pretty #usguys http://pic.twitter.com/wIsUDMLZ- Others commented on the dedication of their coworkers, who biked long distances to get to work.
Some of the distances are crazy on the #mycommute hash tag. I've got an intern who biked 16 miles today #dedicated
“@WSJ: #Sandy only delayed #mycommute train a half hour but one of my project managers biked 37 miles into NYC from LI!- This New Jersey resident didn't have the option to work from the office, or from home.
My office today is a bench in mall next to a power outlet.Using my cell as a hot spot.No power or Internet at home or office. #mycommute- One stranded commuter had an interstate journey ahead of her.
#mycommute going to Ohio by way of Philadelphia to avoid flying out of NYC - hope that works ...- Some readers in other parts of the country were impressed by the commuters' stories. Sara Mauskopf, a product manager at Twitter, was among those who praised them.
So much dedication shown by folks using the #mycommute hashtag to get to work against all odds. Love it so much.
To think, I complain if the Fresno lights aren't synchronized. Check out #mycommute, the tweets of people trying to get to work in NYC. Wow.
