Retarded ... The employment relationship

ööö Err-Err. So they say, the Parisian middle-distance connection somewhere between the Métro and the national rail network of the French is located. The five RER lines pass through each of Paris and the surrounding agglomeration and tick all around in the middle of Paris, First Arrondissement. The Metro is one step below and then connects the different RER stations, train stations, tourist attractions and whatever with each other, complemented by a network of buses.

why I cherish the rail at all his own blog entry? I, the despised but rather the heavy steel rails on their ugly gravel tracks and focuses fully on the ethereal lightness and beauty of air travel?

Eben, in contempt.

Because if you travel with the RER, then must be prepared for quite a lot! Punctuality, for example, a complex subject. Oh, but if I recollect right, it is even micht more complex and we need the concept of punctuality clarify something.

In my work environment as we talk if to accuracy as the dose is from precision and accuracy : precision is about when you shoot three arrows at a target, and which are scattered throughout the disc that none of the arrows while inserted in the center, the center of the three arrows in the middle is.
The accuracy is then but when the arrows strike all close to one another, but not necessarily the focus lie. Both are of course suboptimal, unless both precision and accuracy are good.

What the RER but is not necessarily the case: the precision is often not bad, and plus or minus a few minutes the train on time here, but precision is just very very questionable. Therefore quite possible that a train would end up with very many minutes grad mal arrives late, then setting off on time and place time remains. Often he is really good time, but you never know in advance.

Then there's the matter of the strike: so about every two weeks, decide on the RER B line of my people that they do not want to work once the 35 hours, and to cancel the whole line grad mal, which is then transferred through the state SNCF, but what won for a lot of confusion and chaos ensures at stations.

The funniest experience (you can see I'm already used to it easily, but not completely angep ***) so far was when I arrived at the station one morning and I wanted to buy 10 new tickets. The RER jokers have, however, thought it would be fun to play once a new software to the ticket machines, and the same course during peak times and on all machines. Thus, the queues at the ticket counter was sufficiently long, and I lost so ever fifteen minutes.

bottom of the platform, then the next Sketch number: is the next train to Aulnay-sous-Bois 10 minutes later, the display panel. actually about 20 minutes later, he chugs but then slowly into the station and is fully Rammel that I decide to take the next one. This will also be announced promptly, peeps, so here then with 5 minutes Verpätung to the announced time out to the tunnel exit, but can not enter because there is still the other train !

goes after a few more minutes in the first train then suddenly all the light off and the poor passengers look sadly out of their mackerel box-with-window.

is now a third train on the adjacent track announced that arrives with us and even then drives off towards the finish, while the other two are still stuck in the dark.

At lunch the same day I had my way, met a fellow employee who was apparently just eingepfärcht in the can with a power failure I encountered Early in the morning. He has not found it quite as funny as I do - especially because due to an error of a ticket validation machine his ticket was not stamped clean and inspectors in its history have believed, and also also unwilling were the ticket to instant checks electronically what the innocence the colleague had been proved. When he refused, the 40 buses to € they have to pay him taken to the police station where he was pissed then after much back and forth so that he is now paid to 25 € Dicount cheap buses, only to finally get to work. And his final comment on the inspectors was "And you wonder why you seriously hates you!"

But just as bad as it is usually not so, and indeed usually is all about really fast. And also waiting for the RER trains always with funny names! Each train has nämmlich a code that his "mission": This code contains four letters has apparently to do with distance, direction and approached stations. The blackout-train was about EWOK (no wonder liked the little fur ball which take many Parisian not), and twice I was in the EMIR on the road, which is much cheaper than in Emir (Swiss designation for the Mirage IIID supersonic trainer) of the aviation museum Payerne, where you as a passenger, but at least 18 ' hinblätttern must support 000.
Even with ENYA I was on my way, and polar bear Knut and Sprudelwasse KOLA Paris we went already through the agglomerate. And tonight I am then on the ... I mean home ridden with the KATY ...

RER Réseau Express Régional means incidentally , ie about as much as Regional Express Network. In the Zwisschenzeit But I think that the name RER is only disguised as a shortcut: Actually, it means Erreur ...
