l'autobus parte due

the bus, part two

so as per usual, i got up this morning about 710, got ready for my day, and left the apt at 745 to catch the 759 bus that takes me to work. it is less than a 10 minute walk to the bus stop, i just leave that early because i am paranoid about missing it and getting to work late. well, this morning i left on time, and as i was waiting to cross the street to get to my bus, it pulls up and away before i had a chance to do anything but stare. now, this wasn't me being late, this was my bus being super early, as in 7 min early! why do they do such a thing? They have to know that people have schedules. And seeing as the bus only comes once every 15 min, they really screw with the plan when they do that. in other words, i waited outside, in the rain no less, for a half hour today before i could get on my bus. arg. this is why i miss taking the metro. the trains always come within minutes of each other, but even if they don't, you are inside out of the weather, whatever it may be that day. sadly, the metro does not go everywhere, such as georgetown, making the bus a better option, though at times, like this morning, i really really really hate it. sigh. but whats a girl to do? i refuse to get to the stop any earlier, so i suppose there will just be days when i am late bc my bus is early. so annoying.

l'autobus

the bus

so i am an idiot and thought i would share the news. yesterday i was waiting to take the bus after work so i could get home. there were 2 buses there, and one lady said i could get on hers so i didnt have to wait in the cold. i checked the bus number, and saw it was the right one, so i hopped on. unfortunately, i neglected to check the direction the bus was going. so 10 min into the ride i glance up and think to myself, crap, this is most definitely the wrong direction. so i consider sitting there anyway since it is cold, but rally myself and hop off the bus, cross the street, and wait for a bus going the correct direction. sadly, the amount of time i waited for that one was about the same amount of time i would have sat outside waiting for my original bus.
oh well, it was an adventure, right?
