    Beth -
    Looks like the IT guys just can’t get it right. You frustrated yet? Could be worse. They could be working for NASA while you ride the Space Shuttle.

    @4

    Caused absolute chaos today. Good thing I got to Fulton 4 minutes before I usually do …

    There’s less than 4 inches between the train and the platform … rather than lie between the tracks she decided to stand against the platform and hope that the train would some how miss her?

    I was lucky to make the metro north train home. There were several people that take the same train that didn’t make it.

    I guess she wins a Darwin award.

    Don’t let the door hit you, etc…, Timmay G. If you can survive the Lehman examiner’s report, you deserve to be running Citi.
