What better thing to do while sitting on a train than bitching about it eh?

Oh yeah no exactly haha I’d hate to hear me calling in sick impacted everyone in Sydney because my manager and team couldn’t pick up the slack while I was out

This is what happens when you try too hard to minimise costs, because extra signal staff aren't need 99% of the time, they don't have any to save costs, but the 1% where they are needed everything fucked up
