I'm supposed to describe myself in fewer than 160 characters? Seriously? No, really, 160 characters is all I get? Well OK then, here we go. I'll start by sayi

@MBTA why is the train that was departing in 4 minutes still at Oak Grove at the 12 minute mark, and counting? While we’re at it, how much longer will the slow zones last? When will more trains be on the tracks? Mysteries abound.

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@MBTA Thanks for letting everyone know. Better late than never, which is going to be what everyone says when we finally arrive at work.

@MBTA so when an orange line train at community college can’t get the doors to respnd and open, it’s up to the old “reboot and pray it works” I.T. trick. Let’s hope it’s an isolated incident, and not a safety issue.

@Kitty13R @MBTA We were just sitting here for 10m for no reason at Oak Grove. No announcement, no communication, nothing except the beeping doors.

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@mbta any reason the orange line train I’m on just sat at Community College for 9 minutes with no announcement? Is the commute not slow enough for us? It’s not like there was a train in front of us, unless you count the previous one 18 minutes earlier.

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@WBZNightside 15-20 minutes between each of the total of 4 orange line trains in service, with slowdowns in effect all week… I’d say we’re faring at about pre-shutdown levels, just with a longer commute time. Hope next week is better.

@jersiegel @wutrain Oak Grove to State: Waiting at 8:15, train slid in at 8:30, left at 8:32, sad crawl from Malden to North Station, OK to State, arrived at 9:08. Did they say how many days the slowdown would go on for? I got to work 10m later than I did walking from the CR, 25m more than usual.

20+ minutes between orange line trains… the T is back, baby!
(Oak grove looks good, though)

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

The @MBTA Orange Line reopens tomorrow! Who will be That Person who christens the first train out by dropping their iced coffee all over the floor, making sure that it is at the proper level of stickiness?

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

Close enough, I guess.

@MBTA Is this a preview of how shuttle buses will “run” (crawl) when you shut down Oak Grove to Wellington in August? Is there a plan to minimize the impact on commuters then, or will the losing streak continue?

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@MBTA Did you mean “up to 15 minutes at each stop on your commute”? Because that’s what we’re getting. You think you’d have a more efficient way to deal with the nonstop reasons for delayed commutes. Do better, or hire someone who will.

@NuminousPacks cable lock decided to eat the cable 1 week before a big trip :( pack has been used 2-3x max

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@xyeLz I think I got your fortune cookie by mistake...

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@NuminousPacks I'm looking at the 25L pack. A review had ?s re: the cable lock possibly being easily cut out from the bag. Is it secure? TY!

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@xyeLz call that guy out, and shame him.

@xyeLz @Devvz_girl @Devvz Great Rocket League game last night! It was my 1st try at online. I like the 3v3 or 4v4 over 2v2 - more crashes!

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@xyeLz Dude, that Rocket League moment when you have a shutout and your AI teammate carries it all the way downfield for an own goal. #salt

[Ken Courtney @KenCourtney]

@hart_loganhart3 @xyeLz Wait until my next one is revealed!
