I’m going
to Connecticut on Saturday to meet a fellow group of New York Mets fans for our
annual preseason get-together to hope for better things than last year and play
trivia. Because my usual subway stop will be closed this weekend, I thought it
would be easier to buy my train ticket online in advance.
I have the
MTA eTix app on my phone, so I clicked on it, and after clicking on my starting
station and destination station, a pop-up window told me the app is out-of-date
and I should click on Install Now.
Maybe I
could get it on my laptop? The laptop finds the MTA eTix app in the App Store,
but doesn’t let me download it because it’s only for the iPhone. Hmmm.
But if I go
to the App Store app on my phone and search MTA eTix, I find it easily. Now why
couldn’t the original app’s link to the App Store take me to that latest
version of the MTA eTix app? And why couldn’t the App Store that link went to
find the MTA eTix app?
Technology:
it drives you crazy when it isn’t giving you the greatest pleasure.

I’m
participating in the 12th annual Slice of Life Challenge over at Two
Writing Teachers. This is day 1 of the 31-day
challenge. It’s not too late to make space for daily writing in a
community that is encouraging, enthusiastic, and eager to read what you have to
slice about. Join in!
