Today on the platform, for the #7, I made a nice conversation with an executive in charcoal 3 piece, captoes, and gray eyebrows. After some time, due to delay of track malfunction, he told me that many man of the company (with him included), are living lives of quite perspiration. A further explanation he tried to give, but to listen above a funky drummer I could not, and embarrassed to ask him to repeat his position. I went on to say, that many gentleman on the message board, are executive types also, and I do not believe are living this life, since they have custom shirts, that allow better circulation. I was interrupted both by the 7# approaching and this man laughing with a menace tone, sounding much like a hyena to my surprise. I hope this thread, can give me some rest assurance, or at least explanation.

I am very ashamed for the misspelling, can the moderator change quite, for quiet?

Its quiet perspiration that I wish to speak.

The normal construction of the thought concerns lives of quiet desperation, as described by Thoreau: http://thoreau.eserver.org/walden1a.html Quiet perspiration is not so bad. It's the noisy perspiration I'm worried about. Almost as worry-free as quiet perspiration is the return of Vaclav. Hello! Have you been reincarnated as a god/goddess?

Hello Mack, thank you for this warm welcome, but this is not a return, as my spirit has remained reading here . As for reincarnation, I do not wish to be Vishnu , as the stress to worry over so many cuffs, would make a problem with perspiration worse. If I see the man again, I will attempt to ask if he was speaking of quiet desperation, and not of what I wrote previous. As I have spend time at Hector's, in the Poconos, I am familar with Walden Woods, and hope to work on my own book there.

This gets my vote for strangest thread.

I suspect the man laughed like a hyena because he meant desperation, not perspiration, and was surprised that you replied with a recommendation about custom shirts. But who knows? Maybe it was a comment about his underarms. Those subway platforms can get pretty stuffy, esp. in the winter when you come in out of the cold and you're in an overcoat and then all of a sudden, you're standing there, and the train isn't coming, and will you make it to work... Maybe you should walk over to the next line. I mean, you could be standing here a long time, if there's signal trouble, or worse, one of those medical emergencies on a train. But you always make the wrong decision. If you leave, you just know a train will pull in behind you. If you don't... At least if you leave and walk over to the next stop, you'll feel like you're doing something, instead of standing here on this platform with that god-mn drummer going ba-da-bum-ba-da-bum on those bongos all day... How can he listen to that? But he's like a child, you think. The noises they make banging on things never bothers _them_. Only the grownups around them. Where is that train? I'm sweating through my shirt and my day hasn't even begun yet. I hate that. Then I'll get to my office and hang up my suit jacket, and not only will I have to dry out from this flop sweat--where did this sweat come from, anyway?--but while I'm trying to dry off before my first meeting the quiet evaporation will give me a chill, and I hate shivering in the office in the office in the winter. Maybe I should keep an extra dress shirt in the office closet--that would solve the problem. Where's that train? But if it's a nice shirt, someone will steal it overnight. And if it's not, what's point? That'll never work... Maybe I should take my overcoat off. Yeah, right. And put it where? The last thing I need is another thing to carry. Is this train going to come? I should've walked. Too late now though, I've invested too much time waiting. That's stupid--sunk costs are sunk. The only important question is, starting from now, what am I better off doing... I can't think about all the time I've wasted so far. But I've waited so long--does that suggest that the train must come soon, or does it increase the odds that it won't come at all? It has to come. A train always comes. This is New York.
Wait; who's that natty fellow. Looks civilized enough. I wonder if he's sweating too...
