It seems obvious to me that the scheduling is not based in reality. It is impossible to have two pickups at the exact same time (especially if they are across town from each other and there has been an accident on street). You may have noticed that I did not hold the drivers at fault... out of all the drivers I have had, I can only think of one who was discourteous... I guess Rush Limbaugh got him riled up on the radio. ;) I don’t blame the drivers for the predicament. It seems obvious to me that the scheduling is not based in reality.

WE AS ACCESS-A-RIDE DRIVERS HAVE A HARD TIME PERFORMING OUR DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE. BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC AGENTS GIVE US PARKING TICKETS. WE ARE EXPEDITOUSLY RECEIVING OR DISCHARGING PASSENGERS.WE WOULD BE BRINGING THE PASSENGER DOWN THE WHEELCHAIR RAMP AND THE TRAFFIC AGENT STANDS THERE AND WRITE THE TICKET AT THE SAME TIME WHILE WE ARE PERFORMING OUR JOB. I TELL THE AGENT ABOUT AMERICAN WITHDISABLITIES ACT AND HE SAID TELL JUDGE. SO I GO TO COURT TO FIGHT THE TICKET AND THE JUDGE DONT WANT TO HERE IT. HE SAID PAY THE FINE. ITS HARD FOR US AS DRIVER TO PICK UP OR DROP OFF PASSENGER IN MANHATTAN WITH OUT GETTING A PARKING TICKET. MAYOR BLOOMBERG PLEASE HELP US. OUR SIDE OF THE STORY.

I wasn't dissapointed as much as I thought Ambien was trying to put something over on us. Anyway, it's good to know that I'm not the only one to notice. ;) Hey Buck.

For me the first girl was sexier. Never noticed cleavage as mentioned by Hayward but maybe the first actress was a little too young looking versus the current one. I know I'm disappointed though enough to be searching the web for an answer. I'd like to see the original again to review it. I too noticed the change. For me the first girl was sexier.

One of the cool things about the typing though, is that judging by what you are entering, it sort of makes what it thinks will be the next character more sensitive to being touched. It's amazing how often it's right. Thanks for the compliment, Anne. For those who don't know yet, Anne's film won the channel 13 shorts competition and aired Saturday night (jun 20) at 11:29pm.

VERY nice. And thank you for posting the episodes. I'm happy to hear that you like your iphone. I'm a miserably slow typist on that size device and wondering if I'll EVER get the hang of it. Your enthusiasm for the iphone encourages me that maybe, even I can cross the frontier into texting while I walk. If only it weren't for the glasses. Somehow they make it so much harder. (Fraid I'm gonna break a front tooth when I go down) Overall, very enjoyable blog. Hey Mel, I love your new website! VERY nice. And thank you for posting the episodes.

I wondered if she didn't show a little too much cleavage when she was lying in bed and if that is why Ambien got a less attractive actress. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
