When Panda spied this video during the afternoon hours of Panda’s boring day job on Wednesday, “hump day” as they say in the lunch room of the global corporation, Panda’s sleepy eyes widened just a bit as Panda continued to slurp a Venti Java Chip Frappuccino and stare at the screen.
Train Pushers? Really? Panda thought, lowering the volume on a loathsome PC. That’s what New York needs! Then I would get to work on time just like those who live in the LAND OF THE RISING SUN!
Could it be true? That the marvelous country of Japan – the birthplace of the Casio watch and all those fancy pencil boxes Panda so enjoyed with their secret compartments that sprung out holding the most precious of tweezers and erasers and tiny scissors – would indeed employ watchful citizens as official “train pushers” to ensure that each person, large or small, has the equal chance of getting squished into a train car and shuttled to work on time.
Panda clicked open an Excel spreadsheet and glanced at the clock. No amount of office tedium mattered anymore, not as long as there are train pushers in Japan. Not as long as there is a place where Panda could someday move to and get a job that will allow Panda to wear a cool uniform and really help people.
Panda can push me around for practice … if Panda wants!
Panda, you COULD really help people by being a train pusher AND it would be much more exciting than your boring day job. Have fun and help people at the same time?! I think you should go for it, Panda!
awesome! this is the coolest site ever!!!
Panda,
For real…I’m getting claustrophobic just looking at this…You’re better off in your global corporation job drinking your giant coffee. Do you see any of Nippon’s commutters drinking coffee or any of the pushers drinking that coffee? Do you Panda? do you?
