Sorry to keep beating my dead horse of the day, but I guess I hadn't looked at exactly how much it was going to hurt to take the NJT from Princeton Junction-EWR after tomorrow...

$16.25 EACH WAY. And parking is $5/day.

I know that the system costs a lot to keep running regularly and well, and I don't presume to know anything about NJ politics or the history thereof, but I would have thought that a public transit system should offer people some incentive to get OFF the roads, not force them back on them...

Oooh, I wonder if you can use any number of their plethora of coupons through the onepass portal. That would make it quite tempting.

NJT tickets to/from EWR also include the AirTrain fare, don't they, and as a result, are more expensive than other fares of similar distane?

That fare is pretty close to what I always pay to go from EWR to New York Penn. It's still a lot less expensive than driving and paying for parking at the airport.

I just blew four of the five attendees in this session away by teaching them how to use tabbed browsing in IE. Apparently only one person in here even knew tabbed browsing existed. After watching one person struggle with trying to find the correct browser window because she had about 25 things open in her Windows taskbar, I figured it was time for a quick lesson in modern Internet browsers, circa 2005.

They were all shocked and awed by this new revelation. I could have done nothing else this week right, but just for this one item I'll get great reviews on my client evaluation this week.

Wow. I'm apparently almost dead, I'm so old. I was at a hotel this week in NJ that I realized mid-week, the last time I stayed there was 22 years ago... when I worked at MSKCC and lived in Manhattan.

Actually, it isn't less expensive than driving and parking. The $32.50 in train fares will get her almost 4 days of parking at ABC ($9/day).
