02:46 pm - The Good, the Bad, and the Sharkly The Good: Last night's dinner with Sterling at Dumont, and drinks afterwards at Zablozki's. The Bad: I lost my Metrocard, which was a monthly, and which I had just purchased on June 22nd. The Sharkly: Another shark attack - but a very minor one. "Shark Bites Tourist's Ankle in Florida." The Good: I called MTA and they are refunding me $50.60, because I had bought the Metrocard with my debit card. The Bad: The refund doesn't go through for 10 to 20 business days. Not that it really matters much, though. I was thrilled that I actually got the good customer service I got, considering, hello, it's MTA. The Sharkly: This from the Horse Hater site: "Shark Mauls Horse." ( More! )
