In my new apartment ON the CTA tracks I am now privy to some goings on. Some dudes have climbed up on them for what I guess is signal work since they are controlling the trains on the middle track with flags. But instead of using their walkie talkies to communicate over the app. 150 feet between them they are just shouting at each other. It's annoying.
And I know they've got them because I can see them in their hands.
At least the people's gas guy came on time this morning. After a week of no hot water due to no gas I can finally take a hot shower. Huzzah for that.
Dear CTA guys, USE THAT WALKIE TALKIE

Re: Dear CTA guys, USE THAT WALKIE TALKIE
I'm not sure walkie talkies are much better than shouting though... like those two-way nextels things, why is it that people who use those feel the need to turn the volume up as loud as they can possible go? Every person I've dealt with who uses those things turn them up as loud as they'll go. That constant "chirp" and distorted audio is even worse than shouting, IMO.
